There are few jobs more courageous than becoming a TEACHER.
Not only are the hours long and the PAY not that GREAT, but teachers also have
to come up with their own inspiring lesson plans, schedules, and homework. This
is all before even entering the classroom, and as any veteran teacher will tell
you, it’s best to expect the unexpected in that area. Teachers encounter
bullying, disrespect, INSULTS, frustration, joy, love, and triumph during their
career. It’s a job for which no college/UNIVERSITY class can fully prepare
anyone. BUT THE JOY OF EVERY TEACHER IS TO SEE HIS/HER STUDENTS PASS EXAMS OR
BECOME SUCCESSFUL. However, teachers can only UNLOCK the doors to academic success
for their students, it behooves on students to walk through that door all by themselves...Teachers
are responsible for what they teach, but the responsibility of success lies
entirely on individual students. Formal education can make you a LIVING but
SELF EDUCATION can make you a FORTUNE.
Indeed, every great dream begins with a dreamer and each of
us has within us the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the
stars to change the world. But in all human affairs there are EFFORTS, and
there are RESULTS, and only the STRENGTH of the EFFORT determines the greatness
of the RESULTs. Matter of fact, it is only in the dictionary that SUCCESS comes
before WORK! That means in real life, it is only by dint of HARDWORK and
DETERMINATION which lead to success. The sky has never been the limit. We are
our own limits. It’s then about breaking our personal limits and inhibitions
and outgrowing ourselves to live our best lives. You are capable and worthy of
being and doing anything. You just need the DISCIPLINE and DETERMINATION to see
it through. It won't come instantly, and you may FAIL from time to time, but
don't let that deter you. NEVER GIVE UP. Life is an ever-changing process, and
nothing is FINAL. Therefore, each moment and every new day is a chance to begin
anew. Your 'PAST' is not your PASS to FAIL. So don't allow what happened to you
minutes ago, days ago, weeks ago, months ago or years ago be the reason for you
not to strive toward success for your life. Stop looking for reasons to FAIL or
finding EXCUSES for your LACKING and SLACKING.
As students, you need to understand that LEARNING is like
driving up a hill, if u remove your foot off the accelerator, you'll drop back
into a ditch! A day spent without LEARNING something is a day wasted and
the one who GRADUATES today and stops learning tomorrow is UNEDUCATED the day
after! So STUDY while others are sleeping; WORK while others are loafing;
PREPARE while others are playing; and DREAM while others are wishing. Wise
people learn when they can; fools learn ONLY when they must. BE WISE and Learn
from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. Your past is past, your
present is present and your future is all in your hands! And always remember
that the FEAR OF GOD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM! WISHING YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
