Life is nothing but
a tremulous journey. However this unsteady journey is beautiful yet bumpy,
short or long but everyone has to pass through different stages. Some paths are
full of thorns and journey becomes so unbearable that we are forced to wonder ‘God!
Why with me?’. Of course we forget everything when we move towards the
sunshine. My perspective is totally different, I always consider those old bad
days are the glorious moments of my life because those are the days that
made me stronger. What is life if we have never struggled for something and a
goal is worthless if it comes easily. Born with a golden spoon was not a
thing that I ever desired. Among the passing phases, everyone has their own
favourite and worst to choose from. Nevertheless, the phase we left behind
during our schooling days will come out as clear winner as the best phase of
ones life.
My school days are considered
to be the golden times of my life. It was a big close knit family and I have no
words for my teachers. Those bunch of dedicated women, who used to come
to the school to teach and obviously we
were there only to learn. Decades gone over but for me still my teachers
are the driving force that are generating the burring desire for my learning
passion. Let me look little to one of the oldest and respected profession of
the world.
Socrates
Socrates was educators, philosophers, politicians
and scientists all over the world acknowledge that Socrates was one of the most
enlightened teachers and thinkers in our history. Through students like Plato,
Socrates encouraged the pursuit of virtue through critical thinking and
questioning. This system has affected all industries and fields of study and
has inspired other great philosophers.
Annie Sullivan
Annie Sullivan is best known as being Helen Keller’s
instructor. She coached her deaf and blind student by giving her obedience and
social etiquette lessons, as well as teaching her Braille. Sullivan became
well-known and respected for her teaching methods and for being able to help
Keller progress well beyond her expected potential. Sullivan traveled
with Keller to give lectures and was supported by Alexander Graham Bell
and Andrew Carnegie. Sullivan was also recognized by Temple University
and other educational institutes "for her tireless teaching and commitment
to Helen Keller."
Pythagoras
Pythagoras, also known as "the father of
numbers," was a Greek philosopher and mathematician who
invented the Pythagorean theorem, which is still taught and used today. Though Pythagoras
spent much of his life traveling and learning, he also became a teacher in India ,
where he is still known as "the Ionian teacher," or Yavanacharya.
He later built an educational institute in Croatia to teach philosophy and
basic "moral training."
Sir Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton is credited with discovering the theory of
gravity, but he was also a Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge ,
appointed by Isaac Barrow. During this time, Newton made advances in his optical research.
I came to this
profession by accident rather than by choice but I will never deny that
I enjoyed the journey and tried my best to carry forward what my teachers have given
to me. On the week of Saraswati puja I convey my regards to the teachers
who once thought me in different course of my life. Looking forward to join you
all at the other side of the world.
!!!Embarrassed to see that over hundred
millions children worldwide deprived
from savoring the joy of being in the school.!!!
