Teachers never sow the seed of greatness in a student?

Great students are not born but are made. Alexander became Alexander the great because of his teacher, Aristotle and who is in fact was a student of Plato, who in turn studied under Socrates. But why don’t we see many Alexanders today? When was the last time you were inspired to bring out the best in you.

In other words to say it in the words of the Motivational Speaker, Mr. Eric Thomas, when was the last time you gave 120% at your efforts? Don’t bother, probably you had never even heard of a term such as 120.

In the world today, everything can be learned and acquired from the comfort of your home, but there is just one thing that cannot be obtained that is the belief that you could make it.

On an average a student spends 80% of his or her time at the school or doing matters related to his or her school. Yet still, even after 15 years of schooling or so, still he or she feels the need to get into a University or College and then from there on, another 4 years further gets added. Now for most the ball never stops, it simple gravitates from one step to the other with every step forward the end keeps moving a step away.

The thought behind this being, the more I pursue these degrees and accolades the more will I earn. Which is absolutely wrong. In other words, no matter how many years of education that the individual obtains, unless the individual’s mindset is changed, nothing tangible would ever come out of these education.

Is there a Correlation between Higher Education and Wealth?

If there was a correlation between Higher Education and Wealth, then all of the academia in the Universities would be driving Lamborghini and living in summer homes and winter homes, but No! most go broke after their retirement. This is hard to say, but a very true fact.

It is imperative to understand that if all of the people of the world are equal in one aspect then that would be in the aspect of Time. Every individual is given the same 24 hours in a day, and this Time respects no body, be it king or queen, prince or pauper, all are same before Time. But the catch is, what everyone does with their quota of time would determine the life style that they would be living.

Thus, Wealth acquiring is the single most virtue that every individual should attempt at. Why? Because it is the only aspect that has the power to enrich your life and give you the life of real independence. Remember life is never fair unlike time. When life comes at you, it comes at you harder than you would expect. So, get your acts together before it is too late.

Time Consciousness

Every teacher should begin sowing the seeds of greatness in her students and this could be done by starting off teaching every student to understand the importance of Time.

As it is said, if you want to know the importance of an hour ask a businessman, because of an hour delay in his flight, his clients signed the deal with his competitor.

If you want to know the importance of a minute, ask the boxer, who fights to keep standing, waiting for bell to save him from the knockout punch.

If you want to know the importance of a second, ask the 100 meter dash runner, who lost his world record because of this second delay.

Thus, we see the importance of Time everywhere and everyday. But the most important place where it ought to be taught is at school and most importantly by teachers.
