A Better Teacher

The internet explained chopsticks. Hunger made me understand them.

I’ve tried using chopsticks many times and always failed. I even watched a tutorial video once. It didn’t help.

A few days ago, after walking about 2 kilometers in the hot sun, I arrived at a small pho restaurant. By then, I was hungry.

When the food arrived, the waiter handed me a soup spoon and chopsticks.

“Can I get a fork?” I asked.

“We only have chopsticks,” he replied.

I tried eating with the spoon, but the noodles had other plans.

So I opened the same YouTube tutorial again.

But this time, I was hungry.

You know the rest of the story.

Hunger succeeded where the tutorial failed.

If you know someone who would enjoy this one,

send it their way

More stories will come.

Not because it’s Tuesday.
Not because a content calendar says so.

Only when life teaches me something worth sharing.

🧡 Thank you for being here.
