A university student named Jesse was taking a psychology course. Throughout the semester he was not doing very well on his exams and papers.

It came time for finals and he studied very hard, knowing that it would be a one question test. To receive a good grade on the test the students had to write everything they knew on the test subject. The day came for the test and the students, especially Jesse, were very nervous.

The professor came in and started the test, which consisted of one question: "What is it to be courageous?"

All of the students started writing frantically. Jesse sat there for a while and simply wrote: "This is being courageous." He then turned in his test.

Jesse received the only A in the class.

The next seven years passed they took him back into the small room and his 2 words were "I quit".

"Good," they said, "all you have done is complain."
