He came home from work, tired and he sat down on the sofa. He then put his feet up on a stool.
His wife brought him a glass of water. While his son gave him a sheet of paper 📄

Suddenly, he lost his temper and he started shouting:
"What is this? All the time play with a phone and watching TV.
How dare you show me such marks? How dare you?
His Wife said: "Be patient. Listen...."
He told her: "Shut up!
It's your love and pampering that has spoilt him. He is no good and never serious at all."
His Wife said: "Oh Really?"
He said: "Yes!!!! No one in our family has performed so badly, ever."
Finally...... after getting tired of ranting and raving.....
Son said: "Dad, I am sorry I made you angry. I was cleaning the old cupboard and I found this."
"It is your old school report card, dated 27th July, 1980 sir."
Dad became humbled and dumbfounded. Imagine the atmosphere afterwards. Calmness in the air.... and the house for several weeks..... 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Patience is key❗
Do not hasten to judge. Listen more, listen longer.
