Your nursery school teacher may not have made it as big as you in life, but your life was built on the foundation of knowledge she gave you. Let us not compare ourselves with our guiding light. If you remove the sun from the rays, nothing will remain. If you remove the mud from the pot, nothing will remain. If you remove the cause from the effect, nothing remains. If we remove the teachings of our teachers from us, nothing of us will remain.
The maths teacher wrote ‘1000’ on the board and asked the student who was constantly disturbing the class, “How much is this?” Confident, yet embarrassed by the simplicity of the question, the boy replied, “One thousand.” Now the teacher added a zero to the right and pointing at ‘10000’ asked, “How much is this?” “Ten thousand,” came the prompt reply. Now the teacher added another zero, but this time to the left of ‘1’ and pointing at ‘010000’ again enquired, “How much now?” “The same … ten thousand, ” the boy replied. The teacher smiled, winked and then said, “When an insignificant number follows a significant number, it gains value. When the same insignificant number tries to go ahead of the significant number, then it has no value.
So is the relationship between a teacher and a student. When a student follows the teacher, he gains value. The other way round … well, I don’t want to state the obvious.”
The greatness of a coach is to show the player how capable he is. The greatness of a player is to live up to the capability he has been shown.
