But I could not leave it.Aman - Hmm… don’t worry. Actually it’s not only you who is suffering from this problem. I guess more than eighty percent of the population is experiencing the same fate. You are not alone.Vicky - Hmm you are right.Aman - I guess you must have shared your heart with the staff members, I mean the other teachers.He said, surprised, “Is it also a mistake?”I chuckled and said, “Of course, it’s a mistake!”Vicky said worriedly, “Oh gosh! Can’t even I share my heart with my staff members?”Aman - Haha, no you should not.Vicky - Now, what’s the reason behind it?Aman - See, you are working as a teacher in a private school and you are saying to the other teachers that you don’t like this job.Vicky - But it’s a truth.Aman - Well, a truth that should not be told.Vicky - But I am doing my duty with full zeal and zest.Aman - In practical life, not only work but also words matter a lot.
