Teacher "Guru"

Guru Brahma Gurur Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheswaraha, Guru Saakshat Param Brahma, Tasmai Sree Gurave Namaha...

Guru is verily the representative of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. He creates, sustains knowledge and destroys the weeds of ignorance. I salute such a Guru.

Dedicated to all those teachers who are the concrete pillars of the Nations.

From A school principal's speech at a graduation...

She said "The Doctor wants his child to become a doctor". "The Engineer wants his child to become an engineer". "The Businessman wants his ward to become CEO". But a teacher also wants his child to become one of them as well. Nobody wants to become a teacher by choice. Very sad but that's the truth.

The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One Man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become only a teacher?"

To stress his point he said to another guest "You're a teacher, Mrs. Sharma. Be honest. What do you make?"

Teacher Mrs. Sharma, who had a reputation for honestly and frankness replied,"You want to know what i make? (She paused for a second, then began...)

"Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can't make them sit for 5 min. without an I-Pod, Game Cube or movie rental.

You want to know what I make?

(She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table)

I make kids wonder. I make them question. I make them apologize and mean it. I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions. I teach them how to write and then I make them write.

Keyboarding isn't everything. I make them read, read, read. I make them show all their work in math. They use their God given brain, not the man made calculator. I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know about India, while preserving their unique cultural identity. I make my class room a place where all my students feel safe.

Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life.

(Mrs Sharma paused one last time and then continued.)

Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn't everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant.

You want to know what I make?

I make a difference in all your lives, Educating kids and preparing them to become CEO's, Doctors and Engineers.

What do you make Mr. CEO? Only Money?

His jawed dropped; He went silent.

This is worth sending to every teacher you know. Actually very worth sending again & again especially to those from other professions who think they are above teachers.

Be a teacher. Were it not for the teacher, Would we be what we are. Be thankful & appreciate the "Teacher" Who made us what we are today.
