Each profession occupies a specific niche in society — doctors heal, engineers design and bankers handle our money, lawyers help us provide justice, armed forces help us maintain security and safety BUT Teachers stands out as a subsumptive entity. At a preliminary stage, teachers instill the transcendent faculties of communication, decision making and awareness of social responsibilities. They are the only ones that help us in maintaing the perfect balance in life in order for us to be able to become what we dream. FOR EVERY ENGIENER, POLICE OFFICER, LAWYER, JUDGER, ARMY COMMANDER, PRIME MINSTER, CHIEF MINISTER, CEO ETC there is one common entity being a Teacher who helps and motivates us to libe our dream.
Later in life, no matter which field we may opt to choose to pursue but then again we turn ourselves into being a teacher for someone else no matter if the student is arjuna or iklavya.
I often wonder about teachers who educated famous people such as Einstien and Abraham Lincoln. Were these teachers specially qualified to inspire their students to achieve fame and success? Or were these teachers just plain lucky to have talented students? Do some teachers have rare qualities of turning them into gold ?
The answer may not be easy to find. A great person once said, "Teaching is a profession that teaches all other professions."
A strong information base and well developed capabilities of comprehension and analysis are critical for progress. These crucial responsibilities of inculcating knowledge, kindling inspiration and encouraging creative thought are all vested in the teacher.
From ancient times, teachers have been playing an important role in our society. Behind every successful engineer or doctor there is a teacher.
Keeping in mind the increasing trend of both parents working long hours, the teacher is also expected to build a strong moral character and provide emotional support. Thus, the teacher has to build a rapport with the student and be simultaneously approachable and authoritative. His/her role encompasses that of an instructor, friend, role model and confidant.
A person who teaches us moral values, a person who encourages us is a teacher. In Indian culture, we praise teachers more than Gods. Alexander the Great once said, "I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well."
For we havent seen God but our teachers are the ones that help us in the path of life by being our friend, family. Guiding path throughout our journey of life or in simple words a subsidiary to the Lords angels sent to bless and inspire Growth.
HAPPY TEACHERS DAY FOR U ALL CAME IN MY LIFE IN VARIOUS ROLES BUT HELPED ME TO LEARN SOMETHING BETTER EACH DAY
