“Those that understand, teach.”
Dear friends,
I grow up carrying this quote with me that states:
“True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their
own.”
― Nikos Kazantzakis
Teachers never know which lives they influence, or when, or why. I do believe that teachers are a gate to a better future or a terrible failure. So, teaching is like an Art, there are some teachers that will never leave your memory and there are some whom you hate to mention.
So, as Galileo said “You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself.” At least try, when students see you trying, they do really appreciate your time, effort and patience. Then, it become a beautiful relation between a teacher and his/her kids.
A teacher should be a flame, a bright light and a sun’s rays so to spread upon students. For me, I love seeing my students learn and the more they are thirsty for knowledge, I feel the amazing challenge and I am ready for it. But, the main thing is in “Love”. You may say , Ohhhh! Again Love, I’ll say Yes, when you love your job, you are close to success and near to your pupils and ready to learn too.
Once, Albert Einstein said “I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.” I totally agree because when students feel welcome in the classroom, they innovate, participate and feel happy to be part of the group.
Just imagine, after years of teaching, you may meet your students with wonderful careers, lives and dreams and the most beautiful thing that they keep repeating “ It is because of you teacher, you made us like this, your encouragements, love and support during teaching and after it.” Just think of my reaction then , crying like a baby and shedding hot tears that almost burn my cheeks but I always enjoy it ❤ It is like a spotlight.
I will end up my story for today with this beautiful quote by John Wooden:
“Seek opportunities to show you care. The smallest gestures often make the biggest difference.”
NB: I am sure, when you read my story, your favorite teacher will knock knock your memory to remember him or her and please if you have the chance to get back to them, please do not hesitate to send a warm message so they can feel blessed and happy.
Because my teacher believed in Me
Because my teacher insisted on “Never Give Up”
Because my teacher has an open hand, mind and heart.
Because…
