Following is the Narration by Eckart von Hirschhausen, a German doctor who became a comedian:”Many years ago after an unpleasant engagement on a cruise liner I visited a zoo. I looked at a penguin on a rock and thought to myself: “You are such a poor creature… your wings are too small, you can not fly and worst of all: The creator didn’t even give you knees… My mind was made up: poor design!

After walking down a little stair way I looked through a glass pane into the pool. Suddenly my penguin jumped into the water and now he was “flying”… Wow! He was in his element…

Later I did a research: Penguins are ten times more streamlined than a Porsche! With the equivalent amount energy of one liter fuel they can swim 2500km. Penguins are excellent swimmer and hunter and they enjoy being in the water. They are more advanced than anything built by humans. And I thought: poor design!”

Like the little penguin needs water to be in his “element” children need an environment where they can develop their strengths.

As Parents and Teachers we also tend to make the same mistake of JUDGING and LABELING our Children and Students as “Intelligent”; “Average” or “Poor” Learner without actually providing them the “Water” they can “Swim” in.
