TEACHING TO CHANGE LIVES


Everyone who is fully trained will be like his Teacher:Luke Ch 6. Vs 40.

Some one said "that truth could be denied; but it could not be avoided".

Then what is the truth?

According to the philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurthy; "truth is an pathless land and no organisation or institution can lead to it."

Our life's journey on this earth is to serve others; you cannot exist without dependence. This thought may have philosophical overtones, but the ultimate truth is our existence depends upon this one and only belief; even a hardcore communist will agree to this.

So what else is 'truth'?

"With God all things are permissible; but with God all things are possible"

Can you deny the above statement?!; may be yes, but you cannot avoid it.

The truth is that we may be,

ever seeing but never perceiving;

and ever hearing but never understanding;

and ever talking but never mean anything.


Impact or Result

"Good communication, results in good results and bad communication will result in chaos" Because bad education is a national risk. It is believed that the history of a nation is decided in its class rooms. so the future will be a race between education and catastrophe.

Will durant, the well known philoshopher said "60 years ago I knew everything, now I know nothing; education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance"


The question?

Is teaching related to learning or learning related to teaching?

If teaching is what it is, then learning is a direct personal experience no one celse can learn for us. We must discover for ourselves.

Q> What inhibits learning?

Absence of interest, intellectual hunger, motivation, desire and drive.

Q What fires intellectual curiosity?

Having all of the above.

Q How to incite curiosity?

By generating instructional flexibility. "The mind should be free to explore" wrote Tagore.

There are two types of teachers; a) one who is an instructor and b) and the other who is a dictator.

How many of us have become teachers by choice or by compulsion?

All those fortunate people who have chosen to become teachers have one thing in common, that is a passion to communicate.

A Teacher is:

T - Truthful_ inner strength

E - Education - background

A - Action -what you believed in

C - Communication - imparting

H - Heart - Emotive - feelings

E - Encouragement - motivator- self and others

R - Readiness - to give

To all the TEACHERS

"YOU STOP GROWING TODAY, AND YOU STOP TEACHING TOMMOROW".

Because the way people learn determines how you teach.
