WHO IS YOUR TEACHER?Everyone you come across is your Teacher,..Family members, as they teach you sacrifice and unconditional love;...Friends, as they teach you how to share joy and sorrow;...Young kids, as they teach you patience, and __o live for the day_;...Beggars, as they teach you generosity and compassion;... L-learner drivers, as they teach you patience;....Pick-pockets, as they teach you to manage emotions, letting go, forgive and forget; and .... Those who are with disability and those with dementia; as they teach you empathy and (lots of) patience.So you see, there is no lack of good Teachers, it__ just that we are bad Students,We learn but we never practise.
