Jaya Jagannath,
It is said that giving a fish you just feed someone for a day, but
teaching him how to fish is making him feed himself for ever. A
great teacher not just tells, explains, demonstrates but also
inspires. A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own
image, but to develop students who can create their own image. They
architect the fate of the earth. Better than a thousand days of
diligent study is one day with a great teacher. Thus a teacher is
that future maker who like a candle consumes himself to light the
way for others.
Tomorrow the 5th of September will be celebrated at almost 100
countries around the world to convey an appreciation of the
contribution, dedication and devotion of teachers. These essential,
indispensable, segment of our educational system help an individual
build a better-educated, more tolerant community right from his
childhood, thus shaping our thoughts, expanding our horizons,
encouraging us to explore and discover our potentialities to max. As
we grow and we come out of their shadows, their footprints remain
etched on our life paths guiding us forever. In India this day
commemorates the birth of a literary scholar and teacher Dr.
Radhakrishnan.
Teaching is the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young
minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards. Thus those who
educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these
only gave life, those the art of living well. What the teacher is,
is more important than what he teaches. Truly speaking good teachers
are costly, but bad teachers cost more.
Wish at the lotus feet of Lord Jagannath to help all of us teach the
best values of life to our society and continuously learn the same
from the phenomenal lessons of nature. Jaya Jagannath.
Regards
Team Nilachakra
