Be patient. Listen
I CAME home from work. I was tired. I sat down on the sofa. Put my feet up. My wife brought me a glass of water. My son gave me a sheet of paper:
English Lang. 17 per cent
Biology 35 per cent
Mathematics 40 per cent
Physics 37 per cent
Chemistry 42 per cent
Economics 12 per cent
Agric. Science 19 per cent
Religion Knowl. ABS
Geography 22 per cent
I lost my temper. And started shouting:
“What is this? All the time on phone and TV. How dare you show me such marks?”
My Wife said: “Be patient. Listen….”
I told her: “Shut up! It’s your love and pampering that has spoilt him. He is no good and never serious at all.”
My Wife said: “Oh! Really?”
I said: “No one in our family has performed so badly ever.”
My Son said: “Dad, I am sorry. I was cleaning the old cupboard and I found this. This is your old school report card, dated July 27, 1980 sir.”

A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
