This is beautiful:
“I will gain more understanding when I realise…….a teacher is not one with many students but one who creates many teachers.
A teacher, a true teacher is not one who gives you anything. A true teacher is one who makes you aware of what you already have and encourages you to use it. A teacher is not one who tells you anything. A true teacher listens to you, learns from you and uses what you have to inspire other students. A true teacher recognises your brilliance and supports you in learning how to nurture it. Seeing your dilemmas, a true teacher walks through them with you. A true teacher will look you dead in the eye, call you out of hiding and celebrate with you in the joy of standing in your truth. A true teacher will not do it for you. Instead, they will sit with you as you figure out how to do it for yourself. A true teacher will not keep score for you. They will support you in moving beyond the need to know the score. If you are really lucky, you will happen upon the greatest teacher of all: The student who brings you to the realisation that you are your own greatest teacher.
Honour yourself for all the lessons you have taught yourself.”
I thank all my students for being my teachers because I am still learning everyday.
