An example of believing in yourself and not agreeing with authoritative views

There is such a little story.

In class, the philosopher Socrates took out an apple, stood in front of the platform and said, "Please smell the air." .

A student raised his hand and replied, "I smell it, it's the smell of apples!" " Socrates walked down from the podium, holding an apple in his hand, slowly walked past each student and told him, "Please smell it carefully again. Does the air smell of apples? "

At this time, half of the students have raised their hands. Socrates returned to the podium and repeated the question just now. This time, all the students raised their hands except one who didn't raise their hands. Socrates walked up to the students and asked, "Do you really smell nothing?" The student said positively, "I really don't smell anything!" " At this time, Socrates announced to the students: "He is right, because this is a fake apple. "This student is the later famous philosopher Plato.
