Enjoy your exams!

Originally appeared on spirituality.com

A friend and I were discussing her hopes and plans for her career. This had been sparked off by the fact that she was about to begin her final school exams.

As we said goodbye I added, “Enjoy your exams.” She looked at me in disbelief, and commented “Enjoy them? How can you enjoy exams?”

Later, she telephoned asking, “What did you mean, enjoy exams? D’you honestly do that?” Her question prompted me to share an experience I had when I was taking my final school exams.
