Teachers, second parents, classroom heroes.
If not for them, there won’t be doctors, engineers, soldiers, business tycoons, and other professionals who build our workforce and the community. Aside from our parents, they are the ones who exert the most efforts in teaching us what we have to learn in academics and life in general.
They truly deserve the tag ‘classroom heroes’. Sacrifices seem too ordinary for them for the sake of practicing their profession. They spend an entire day working for a living and working for their students who learn from them.

In celebration of World Teacher’s Day tomorrow, October 5, we would like to pay tribute to our teachers who take such huge responsibility of educating our students. Too much is expected from them yet they receive only a quarter of what an account manager in the BPO industry is getting. They work for the entire day at school and tasks still extend at home.
Do you have a teacher who left a strong influence in you? I think we all do. There will always be that one teacher who will make a difference in how we view life and how we want things to happen in the future.

We have here a few inspirational quotes about teachers. Take time to read and realize how teachers are selfless catalysts in changing the world for the better by planting seeds of knowledge and inspiration inside of us.
“The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called ‘truth’.” – Dan Rather
“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” – Henry Brooks Adams
“A good teacher is like a candle – it consumes itself to light the way for others.” – Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
“One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.” – Carl Jung
“The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate ‘apparently ordinary’ people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people.” – K. Patricia Cross
