-Aristotle
Very well said... 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 in the process 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.
On this day, we gratefully remember the great educationist Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, whose dream was that "Teachers should be the best minds in the country". Dr. Sarvpalli Radhakrishnan was born on September 5, 1888. He was the second son of his parents. From early childhood, his love for reading book was evident. During most of his leisurely time he used to have the company of books.
Books were his true friends. Being a brilliant student, he topped both in his B.A. and M.A. examinations. Of all the professions open to him, he chose to be a teacher. His long career began with an assignment in Madras Presidency College as the Assistant Professor of Philosophy.Radhakrishnan regards means as more important than the ends “If we are sincere in our intentions and earnest in our effort, it does not matter whether we succeed or not.
Radhakrishnan was awarded Bharat Ratna in 1954. He was elected President of Indian in 1962. The office he held for a full term realising Plato’s dream of a philosopher king and retired from life in 1967.
Hence, Teachers' Day is very important for all our people, for our students and even for all the parents, as the teachers lay the foundation for creating enlightened citizens for the nation. On this day, I would like to recall the teachers who helped me in shaping my life. I am really grateful to them. In fact words fail to describe what they did for us..Therefore,dedicated to all my teachers....Without you, we would have been lost.
Thank you teacher for guiding us, inspiring us
And making us what we are today.
Happy Teachers Day!!!!!!
