Years ago a John Hopkin's professor gave a group of graduate students this assignment: Go to the slums. Take 200 boys, between the ages of 12 and 16, and investigate their background and environment. Then predict their chances for the future.
The students, after consulting social statistics, talking to the boys, and compiling much data, concluded that 90 percent of the boys would spend some time in jail.
Twenty-five years later another group of graducate students was given the job of testing the prediction. They went back to the same area. Some of the boys - by then men - were still there, a few had died, some had moved away, but they got in touch with 180 of the original 200. They found that only four of the group had ever been sent to jail.
Why was it that these men, who had lived in a breeding place of crime, had such a surprisingly good record? The researchers were continually told: "Well, there was a teacher..."
They pressed further, and found that in 75 percent of the cases it was the same woman. The researchers went to this teacher, now living in a home for retired teachers. How had she exerted this remarkable influence over that group of children? Could she give them any reason why these boys should have remembered her?
"No," she said, "no I really couldn't." And then, thinking back over the years, she said musingly, more to herself than to her questioners: "I loved those boys...."
Love is the best medicine to win mind of a person. You cannot treat people by means of your wealth; hence, you should treat them by means of your moral conduct"
Friends, knowledge of good things and all the good virtues can only be imparted by a teacher, a guru, and not by any book available in the market. It is very true that teacher help's us to understand our subject but there is one very important thing that none of us should forget, that teachers not only make us literate but also educated. Literal knowledge can be gained from any book, but we always need teachers to gain education. Teachers are the one who facilitate learning of lessons of life, morals, differentiate between good and bad.
Teachers have an influencing role in the life of every student. They are like beacons of light, guiding us in the formative years of our life. Teachers mould us and shape our future. What we learn from our teachers remains with us, throughout our life. However, very often, we fail to show our appreciation and gratitude for their altruistic devotion. Teachers do need encouragement and support from the community to feel that their efforts are being recognized. To serve the purpose, Teacher's Day is celebrated throughout the world, year by year. By celebrating National Teacher's Day, we thank our teachers for providing us their invaluable guidance.
I love and admire my teachers because I taught by their talents, Equipped by their efficiency, Assisted by their advice, Cared by their concern, Helped by their humility, Encouraged by their efforts, and Raised by their reasoning.
Today is teacher's day the day which makes us realize that whatever we are today is all because of our teachers. If we get a chance to meet our old teachers then it is something so special feelings and experience. Today we are like this because of our teachers. So say a small wish and prayer for them. On this teacher's day and always I thank my teachers, without them I am nothing that includes my loving Mother and my loving father who guided me as parents as well as those days in the school as teachers. Happy Teacher's day.
Every teacher they had something different for us to learn, some taught me how to be perfectly dressed, some taught me how to behave with others, some taught patience, commitment, and dedication. Some taught basic manners, courtesy.
Today, I would like to thank all the teachers. Thank you all (Especially my Beena chechi as she is my first teacher, and school teachers Amelia, Jayachandra sir, sairabhanu teacher, Ramani teacher all of whom I miss so much today.
