happy teachers' day! •
Ever known that one person whom inspired you the most?
No matter how detached that person may seem to you, you just know that after every encounter you gained some invaluable knowledge from him?
It is like as if after every meeting, that person seemed to have given you something, given you a part of him without even realising it.
And you know that years later, you will learn to manipulate these bits and pieces of information gained to form your own future; making your own life story out of it.
Many people have come and gone, and those who left me, I still have a part of them with me, whether I like it or not.
An important woman in my life taught me to be street smart and depend on myself.
A significant figure during my early adolescent years influenced me to never give up.
My sweet English tutor, Aunt Saras, gave me insights on life. It may be unfair, but it is all in the mind. It is up to you to change it. Our fate may be written in stone, but they are vulnerable to the harsh weather and this changes its shape after a while.
A funny man who always had a smile on regardless of how he truly felt. He managed to juggle work and emotions and that is something we all struggle with everyday. Who does not wake up one morning and think about how much they hate their jobs but their work is what keeps the monotony away? What we want Vs what needs to be done. It eats us all up inside every time. Yet this man is still optimistic. How does he do it?
These people have painted my life in different colours according to their own perspectives. They taught me something, they shaped a part of me. It comes with the work of being a teacher. You do not necessarily have to work in school to be a teacher. To me, it is about how you touched people's lives, what knowledge you had imparted to them.
To my teachers, a Happy belated Teachers' Day!
