Life is My Greatest Teacher

“Life is my Greatest Teacher”

Born with no means of sound formal education, I looked towards Life for guidance and it readily accepted me as its pupil. It took me under its wings and gave me a glimpse of the world from a bird’s eye view and hovering over the higher reaches of the skies taught me few valuable lessons of life.

It taught me that self belief and confidence can make up for any shortcoming in life and proved it by taking me from scarcity to self sufficiency.  It introduced me to books as my classmates and the immense knowledge available in the world as the Library. It made me look inwards and carry out experiments within and made me realize that the most valuable tests and researches are done in a laboratory called “Mind”.

It taught me love and compassion for my fellow beings and made me realize that human beings exist only because of relations. It makes me  feel  its presence at every moment of my life; keeping  its soothing hands over my shoulders whenever I seem to be concerned it whispers  in my ears  “All will be Well”; nodding its head merrily when I do something good and encourages  me to do better.

In today’s world, where qualifications on paper mostly become the passport to teach, Life bestowed upon me experience and wisdom as qualifications to teach and be accepted by the education fraternity as one of them. It advised me to make the world as my classroom and taught the beauty of being a teacher.

Most important of all, it gave me a vision, to reach out to people of all ages and stages and make a difference in their lives; to be a beacon for all my students and guide them to a human destiny called “Purposeful Living”.
