Pride of a teacher-to-be
Hassan Al-Banna, when being asked why he didn't write many books, replied,"I am only interested in writing a great humanity."
Reflecting on this, I couldn't agree more that there is nothing nobler than having the oppurtunity to write a human, to shape a human-being especially when they are still raw. You can write as many books as possible, but how assured are we that people will read them? To write a human, requires patience and skills as it is a direct two-way interaction. You have to deal with many complex and unpredictable personalities.
So, this is what our future career is all about. Writing a human-being. I'm sure the most rewarding part of this profession is when we see the results of of our own writing evolves from a small caterpillar to a colourful butterfly that shines.
Proud to be a teacher :)
