Week2: Ignite the Lamp!

Dear Friends,

 

In the hubub of modern life and in the blind rush of getting everything tailor made, we have lost more than what we have gained. 'To be able to do something' is, i think, not so important than 'to have skill about doing it'. I mean, we all sing, but we all are not singers. We all can kick ball, but we all are not football players and all.

 

Its not at all wrong to try various things and discover our selves but then there has to be a minute concentration on something in the end. If Bethoven had not got a chance to put his hand on music, who would have known him today? Many of us are bestowed with certain talents which flourish in particular atmosphere..background. A man is an outcome of his breeding.

 

A teacher's true role is to acquaint the student with his potential by exposing him to a particular situation that can ignite the lamp already there in him/her. Teaching, being one of the noblest profession, stands a crucial importance. A student idealises his/her parents and teachers as their role models. Do you remeber the games of early childhood? A group of children would play role-play games; someone acting daddy, another mummy, one being the son or daughter and, finally one teacher. A school becomes a citadel of "Shaping up" for them.

 

I think, "A student is a book that a teacher has to refer page to page"
