00:00What happens if you get 10 out of 10 where you deserve 0?

00:03What happens?

00:04You deserve 0 but you get 10

00:06because the teacher is trying to be soft and accommodative, loving.

00:10What happens if the teachers start doing that?

00:12Please tell me.

00:13I'm glad I never had such teachers.

00:15Mine were extra strict.

00:17They gave me 5 even where I deserved 8.

00:19So I had to do something extra to get even 6 or 7.

00:22I'm indebted to my teachers.

00:24What happens when you start getting 10 when you deserve 0?

00:27Please tell me.

00:28Our hard work stops eventually.

00:30You know that's what we do to all our loved ones in our relationships.

00:35We stop showing the mirror to them.

00:38We start saying because these are people near to me,

00:42therefore I must shield them from hurt.

00:45The more you shield someone from the right results of his or her actions,

00:51the more you have actually harmed that person.
