Sidney Hook , a prominent New York intellectual and philosopher said " Everyone who remembers his own education remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. The teacher is the heart of the educational system." So rightly the heart and soul of the education system is defined in this quote....
Man is a student throughout his life...., learning is a process that continues infinitely with the capacity that individuals possess.....;and through all these endeavours we invariably remember our teachers who believed in us even when we were a "nobody"... the teachers who not only taught us the prescribed lessons but also imparted soul searching teachings through their own exemplary lives!!!
I am lucky that I had such teachers in my school as well as college life....;now, when I am here in Stockholm ,currently studying swedish language, I 'm happy to admit that I got to know wonderful teachers here too....!To have patience with grown-ups is not an easy task... but they really manage things so efficiently that we have learnt to enjoy learning a new language!!!
May we always be blessed enough to retain our capacity to learn new things.... and if the soul is awakened, there are teachings all around the universe, to follow....;our natural surroundings are such efficient teachers!!!
