Mr. Peacock appears on a nice Saturday. The sun is shining brightly and the wind is blowing peacefully that bodes something really good. The teacher comes in and we stand up to greet him. We sit down and he talks...
"There's something that I want to tell you," he says. "To get in your life. First is something that we often called 'money'..."
We all begin to laugh.
"No, there's nothing to laugh at." he says softly. "You are told that money is a thing that makes terrible things. But how can we manage a good life without money? Without money, more terrble things happen."
His voice is clear and beautiful. We are all ears.
"Imagine you are a professor," he looks around. "But your wife and children wear torn and old-fashion clothes. You have nothing to eat. You don't have enough money to eat out one time or go to the cinema or go to the park. You'll see it's nonsense to be a professor. How can you be a professor when your family suffer from difficulties?"
I like his talk so much.
"There are two people who want all our class to go to the restaurant with him. One says, "Let's share the cost!" and one says, "I'll pay for all of you. Let's go and enjoy.". Who will you come with?"
He stops and looks around the class again.
"A poor person is a weak person. A poor country is a weak country. A weak country is a country which have badly-educated population, a weak economy, a week defense and an bad, very bad future."
"The second thing is to gain as more support in your life as possible. Remember that: If you support anyone, when he succeeds, you must gain something. If he become president, you must be come vice president or something else. And, if your family do not support you, there will be noone who will support you."
"That's all," he says. "Now it's time to begin our lesson today. Firstly, what's an company? How does it work?"
We begins like that. The first time and the only time.
