hi
today was not good .
I was in my college lectures when one of my teachers made fun of me.
last december our college organized a guest lecture on entrepreneurship by inviting an alumini of our branch engineering of who has now become an entrepreneur.
He told us about his business ideas and I showed my interest and enthusiasm in the lecture. At the end of the lecture he even asked me to be a part of a business prospect .B ad part was he did that in front of whole class and faculty of teachers. After the lecture was over I realized that it was all done as a pretense to encourage students and nothing of the business idea was really meant.
Since then one of my teachers try to make me feel dumb for being the scapegoat of the alumini's show . I don't know why he does so but taunts me whenever he gets the pick .
I MAde a fool of my self in front of whole class . May be I am a fool after all............ what do you think?

Dear Vtal:
I don't think you were/are a fool. I suspect nobody else did either. I also suspect you are the only one thinking about the incident. I think that for some reason you could be overly sensitive at this time.

Just because someone may have "fooled you" does not make you a fool.

Vtal,

What do you think the business entrepreneur would think of what is happening to you? Do you have a way to contact him via Email?

Tell him that you feel like "the scapegoat of the alumini's show" and ask him how you he can tell what is a good idea from a bad idea. Tell him it is important to you to know when you should persist and when you should desist.

This is valuable information for you. And maybe the alumni will tell the department head to tell the prof to leave you alone ...

What a moron!
