So there was this 300L class. Very serious class. No nonsense.

Their lecturer, Dr. Okafor, was known for 3 things:
1. Tough questions
2. Starched shirt
3. British shoes that sound like `tok tok tok` when he walks in

One Monday morning, 8am class. Everyone was ready. Notebooks out.

Door opens... `tok... tok...`
But wait. The sound was different. `flap flap`

Everyone looked up.
Dr. Okafor walked in. Full suit. Tie. But on his feet... *blue rubber slippers*. The ones we use to bath 😭

The whole class went silent for 2 seconds. Then somebody coughed. Then somebody else laughed small.

Dr. Okafor looked down, looked at us, and said calmly:
`Yes. I know. My driver stole my shoes this morning. So today, we will be learning about "adaptability in difficult situations". Open your books to chapter 4.`

For 2 hours, nobody could concentrate. Every time he walked to the board: `flap flap`.
Every time he got angry at someone: `FLAP FLAP` louder šŸ˜‚

At the end of class he said:
`Next time your generator spoils during exam, or your laptop dies, remember this. Life will bring you slippers. Wear them and still teach.`

From that day, that class became the best in the department. And till today, anytime something goes wrong, they say: `No problem, wear slippers and continue.`

*Moral:* Your circumstances don’t have to stop your purpose. Slippers or shoes, do the work.
