How Students Teach You?

A friend of mine rightly remarked, "A teacher is one who is eternally a student, when he is not, the student becomes the teacher." I had recently put this on Facebook and my students have sent interesting comments.

"When I thought I had found all the answers, life posed another question"


I got very unexpected responses from my students. Here are some of them.

Shikha Aggarwal
Sir life is full of questions..and mind is full of them


Varun Dhanda
Life doesn't ask questions. It answers them :))


Mohit Ahuja
One small philosophy of my own... "U are the answer to all your questions!”


Dheera Likhi
When there will be no questions left to be chased then don't u think life will be little monotonous and pointless rather lifeless.


Nicole Gomes
Life keeps testing people!


I must say, students are maturing early these days.

    How can we detect whether someone is spiritual? How can we know we are growing spiritually?
    How can we assess by the above mentioned comments that students are becoming spiritually mature?

    So far my understandings: Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
    gentleness, self-control....!
    But still I am unaware of "SPIRIT", or you can call the Fruit of SPIRIT.

    Fruit does not ripen overnight, and cannot be manufactured and as same as SPIRIT.

    Someone who looks within is spiritual in my point of view. The more we meditate or use other spiritual tools, we grow spiritually through increased wisdom, intuition and inner joy and peace.
    Another way of looking at spirituality is "When we start questioning everything is the begining of wisdom, when we accept everything it is the maturing of wisdom". By this angle I feel students are maturing spiritually as they have started questioning things.

    Life is an adventurous journey.Keep exploring it.We are all souls on a human journey.God has sent us on this earth to enjoy life and be creative to add to the beauty of this earth.
    I completely endorse your views on Spirituality ie from questioning to acceptance.
    It is pity that very few people understand the real meaning of life.

    apart from that i think students also teach u many things in class by their behaviour a naughty student teach u how to have patience and an intelligent student more knowledgeable than you teach you how to pretend and being dominant at your position without revealing true emotions......

    Absolutely you are correct. Now a day, Students are matured in the early age. I have no doubt on that. I feel that, "asking questions are the wonderful idea to gather some knowledge".

How Introverts like Guy Kawasaki & Pete Cashmore are changing the rules of the game with Online Branding?

18th January, 2013 And how a book changed my life forever? Caution-Nobody is a complete extrovert or introvert. These are tendencies and we all are on different points of the scale. We have lived in a world which worships the ‘Extrovert’ and pushes the ‘Introvert’ to become an extrovert, to get success. As 'The New York Times' bestselling author Susan Cain says, “Introversion along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness and shyness is now a second class personality trait.” But many of us have not even realised the world has changed. The credit for this goes to Social Media (aka Facebook, Linkedin Twitter and others), which arrived around 2006. Social Media gives an opportunity to introverts to express themselves from the computer (later they can come out in the open to express their passions.) Sometime back, Raja Choudhury, well known Digital Filmmaker-Director & Founder, Universal Quest & C3CUBE Multimedia, recommended me to read The New York Time...

An Uncomfortable Soul- A Short Story

Image
Once again she has started talking to herself. It’s her‘alone-time’ when thousands of thoughts are crossing her mind. All those questions that include ‘Why me?’and every situation that made her feel bad is flashing from the past.She has a bunch of people around her. Those people who have different mindsets, different goals, and different approach towards life.  May be she builds stronger bonds with lesser people. She is questioning herself, “Is it worth being here?”May be she doubts because,in this temporary world, she still believes in profound talks and eternal relationships. Not just her life revolves around building connections rather she believes in living them. People often perceive her as one with detached persona.But she is a human with reserved emotions who takes a while to truly open up.She hardly discusses her emotions except when she feels she has built a strong enough connection with a person. No doubt, socializing is a difficult task for her...
