Read the following incident.
Lokesh had always been a class-topper in tests and examinations. However,
invariably, he used foul means during exams to gain those high marks.
Once, on the day of History examination, Lokesh realized that his classmate and
friend Farhan came all prepared for Maths instead of History. Farhan had become
desperate. So Lokesh offered to let him copy from his answer-sheet, since Farhan
sat just behind him.
Farhan refused. He said, ‘‘It’s all right even if I get a zero, but I can call it
my own zero. I do not want to score a single mark, unearned. Cheating in exams
is for cowards. Not me!’’
These words were a turning point in Lokesh’s life. He gave up cheating for ever.
He worked hard for what he desired and never, ever used false measures to acquire
anything.
