Live in the Present

“Live in the present” The past is gone; the future is unknown-but the present is real and your opportunities are now. You must see these opportunities; they must be real for you. The catch is that they can’t seem real if your mind is buried in past well said by Maxwell Maltz. Yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift, that’s why we call it the present. You seize the day, seize the present. It will be your key to open tomorrow’s mystery. To a wise man every day is a new life. Live the life you have dreamed. Each day you live to make a significance difference in your life or life of others. Grab and utilize the opportunity that you get today. Today’s opportunities erase yesterday’s failure. Stop crying over the split milk. Now you can’t do anything and too much planning is also not needed. Definitely we have an aim in our life and we shouldn’t forget to pull trigger today. Learn from ants and cricket. They are not worried about the approaching winter. Today they will work hard, utilize each and every opportunity to store the grains for the winter. But we always sigh about the past, worry about the future and forget to live in the present. Today you prepare for the opportunities that may come across your life. Opportunities dance with those who are ready on the dance floor. So always be ready and completely packed. You must live in the present. Launch yourself on every wave. Find your eternity in each moment. Anyone can carry his burden, however hard until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely until the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means.

Role of a Teacher

Role of a Teacher| in Education & Student’s Life

Teachers play a key role in the education and also student’s life.

A person with proper vision, experience and qualified degree can enter into the teaching profession.

Teaching job is a great responsibility than a mere job. It has impact on the growth and well-being  of the nation.

Madan Mohan Malavia (the founder of Banaras Hindu University, the world’s second largest residential university) said….

“…….It Lies Largely In His Teacher’s Hand To Mold The Mind Of The Child Who Is Father Of The Man. If He Is Patriotic And Devoted To The National Cause And Realizes His Responsibility, He Can Produce A Race Of Patriotic Men And Women Who Would Religiously Place The Country Above The Community And National Gain Above Communal Advantage.”

These simple lines depict the role of a teacher in the society.

The teacher today is quite diverse than past and has wide role in almost every occupation.

In many cases of a successful student, there seems to be a good teacher. The relation in seems to be very harmonious with complete dedication and affection from the teacher towards the student. This phenomenon had never been the other way.
