I will begin at beginning: I had outstanding teachers. Indeed, It is an unnecessary truism to say that without teachers, none of us would be where we are today, and yet, it is important to acknowledge it-aloud-because,of course, teachers create the future, and each of us writing here proves it. My father is a teacher, my mother is a teacher, my friend is a teacher, everyone is a teacher, it's incredible really, but teachers don't often get thanked, a bit like politician. Teachers have a duty to the next generation to help them grow. A chance to learn, grow and understand without them this world would not survive.So lets applaud teachers for their remarkable and commendable job...
Here is a poem dedicated to all the teachers in Pakistan as well in the world, To a mind of flint, the teacher must be iron, and strike sparks. To the empty pitcher, the teacher becomes a well. To the fallow mind, a planter of seeds. To the cluttered mind, a gardener to weed, shape, and clear a space for growing. To the lens, the teacher is light, and to the mind of light, a lens. To the sleeper, the teacher is the wake-up call of birds at sunrise. To clay, the teacher is potter, sculptor, and trainer in self-shaping. To the wanderer, the teacher is a knowing guide. To the developed mind, the teacher is colleague, listener, friend. To all, the teacher is a mirror that shows not only the self but the path and its choices, the task and its demands--the difficulties, the joys. To all and from all, the teacher is a learner, a person--and a prism through which the ordinary continuously reveals itself to be miraculous. *Poet: Gerald Grow* ** regards, Shamsa Baloch --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Loose Ends Pakistan" group.
