There was a clock on the wall of our classroom. It wasn't special --- just a white face with black numbers. For three years, I never (11) it. It was simply there, like the desks or the chalkboard. Then came ninth grade, the year of the high school entrance exam. (12), everything felt different.
The lessons got harder. The days got longer. And the (13)? It started to catch my eye slowly. During maths tests, when my mind went blank, I'd look up at it. Its hands kept moving --- neither faster nor slower. It never rushed. It never stopped. It just did what it was (14) to do, day after day.
One afternoon, I had to stay after school to finish some exercises. With the classroom empty, the clock tick sounded (15). I stared at it, and for the first time, I really thought about it. This clock had been hanging here for years, watching thousands of students come and go. It watched us laugh, try, fail, and try again. And through it all, it just kept telling time, (16) no one was watching and praising. That was simply its job.
I remembered my mother's words: "The (17) thing isn't doing something big. It's doing the small thing, every single day, without anyone (18)." Maybe that was it.
Feeling a little (19), I turned back to my desk and opened my textbook. There was still a lot to do. But somehow, I felt like I had all the (20) I needed. Not because the clock would stop --- it wouldn't. It would keep going, and so would I.
The Power of "Yet"
Do you ever feel like you're just not good at something? Maybe it's math, or playing the guitar, or speaking a new language. Many people believe that talent is something you are born with. They think, "I'm just not a math person," or "I don't have a musical ear." This is called a "fixed mindset."
However, researchers have found that our brains are like muscles—they get stronger with exercise. This is known as a "growth mindset." One of the most powerful words in a growth mindset is "yet."
When you say, "I can't do this," you are closing a door. But when you say, "I can't do this yet," you are opening a path to the future. It means you believe that with practice and effort, you will be able to do it.
In a famous study, students were given a task that was slightly too difficult for them. Some students felt discouraged and gave up. But others were excited. They said things like, "I love a challenge!" These students understood that their abilities could grow.
So, the next time you struggle with a difficult problem, don't say "I can't." Add that one simple word: "yet." It might just change the way you learn and live.
