Remember The Teachers

“A good teacher is like a candle — it consumes itself to light the way for others.” — Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

Weoften obliviate the value of teachers from our lives. We forget the time, attention and energy invested by teachers on their students. We achieve heights but tend to neglect the efforts of people who helped us. We must not fail to acknowledge the fact that without the efforts of our teachers we would never be what we are. Without the efforts of teachers, mankind would not have progressed.

In the words of Mark Van Dorren — “The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.”

Even after all these facts when we grow up and become successful individuals we often forget about our teachers and their contribution. But teachers all around the world keep doing their part. Just like they say, it takes a big heart to help shape little minds.

Teaching is a noble profession. It is a profession that demands impeccable dedication. Teachers today don’t get the respect and gratitude they deserve. The amount of gratitude our teachers deserve is unimaginable.

My parents who are my very first teachers taught me a simple yet important lesson. Always respect your teachers. A lesson which is carved deep in my heart. 
During my days in school, there came a time when I saw students developing a revolting nature and used to be disrespectful towards the teachers. I used to be stunned by the behavior of those students.

Always remember, when we disrespect our teachers we disrespect ourselves as we ignore the voice of our conscious. The very conscious that was grown with the help of those very teachers. A conscious that tells us the difference between right and wrong. The conscious that defines our self-respect.

Yet, teachers are one of the most patient personalities. Let’s be honest, we irritate them. Don’t we? A teacher is someone who despite our despicable behaviour wishes well for us.

We are born with no skill. We are all alike. Thank our teachers who help us find our talents and harness them.

At the age of 15 when we are lost in the path of life. We don’t really turn to our parents or friends for advice but our teachers. We turn to them because they care for us like our parents and understand us like our friends.

Finally, to all the teachers reading this I would like to say that today you possess profuse amount of skills and a bank full of experiences. I’d like you all to think about your teachers who helped you win. Remember those teachers who shaped your minds and helped you become a successful person.
