Wisdom is knowing when to use it. Mahatma
When Gandhi was studying law at the University College, London, a white professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely.
One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room when Gandhi came along with his tray and sat next to the<b> professor. </font></b>The<b> professor </font></b>said, "Mr Gandhi, you do not understand. A pig and a bird do not sit together to eat." Gandhi looked at him as a parent would a rude and calmly replied, "You do not worry<b> professor. </font></b>I'll fly away," and hewent and sat at another table.
Mr. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take revenge. The next day in Class he posed the following question: "Mr Gandhi, if you were walking down the street and found a package, and within was a bag of wisdom and another bag with money, which one would you take?" Without hesitating, Gandhi responded, "The one with the money, of course."
Mr. Peters , smiling sarcastically said, "I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom."
Gandhi shrugged and responded, "Each one takes what he doesn't have."
Mr. Peters, by this time was fit to be tied. So great was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi's exam sheet the word "idiot" and gave it to Gandhi. Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down at his desk trying very hard to remain calm while he contemplated his next move.
A few minutes later, Gandhi got up, went to the<b> professor </font></b>and told him in a dignified polite tone, "Mr. Peters, you signed the sheet, but you did not give me the grade." 😂😜😅😃😝
