Something to trigger you. Anyone who is in the same profession as me.

It left me with goosebumps & deep-rooted memory. Hope it does the same for you.

'Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions.'

'The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.'
William Arthur Ward

'Teaching is leaving a vestige of one self in the development of another. And surely the student is a bank where you can deposit your most precious treasures.'
Eugene P. Bertin

'The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate "apparently ordinary" people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people.'
K. Patricia Cross

'Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.'
Marva Col

'Teachers are expected to reach unattainable goals with inadequate tools. The miracle is that at times they accomplish this impossible task.'
Haim G. Ginott

And one last quote that i've learnt & always bear in mind so much so that i like to spread to many:
'If a student cannot learn the way we teach, we'll have to teach the way he learns'

Good luck respected teachers.

People who think i do not have the capability to teach because of my mentality, be assured that i'm different when it comes to my students on hand. I'll ensure that the burning flame in them is lighted through my passion for them.

I do not create students in my own image but i develop students who can create their own image.

I believe, a great teacher need not have ultimate passion for the content but an excellent teacher must have overwhelming passion for the students. I'll prove those who think otherwise wrong.
