Teaching is a noble profession


          Teaching is a noble profession

What I believe about professions is that all professions under the sky are noble but it depends upon the people to make it noble or ignoble. But among these all professions teaching is noblest profession because teaching is the essential profession, the one that makes all other profession possible.


 Now a day as people believe that teaching is easiest profession but the fact is it seems easy but it is one of the toughest professions because teacher has ability and power to change the whole life of his students even THE GREAT CHANKYA believed that teacher  has power to create and to destroy the world. A child is the future of world and a teacher is the creator of that future and as creator teacher always has to be creative and update his knowledge with the time.


 If we go back in past than we come to know that in those days in our India there was a Ashram system and at that time Guru had to sacrifice his personal life and had to live with his students all time. And that’s why teacher comes only after the parents. Even we have proverb that mother is the first teacher of child “it also shows the importance of teacher in one’s life.


 I personally believe that teacher has more responsibility because in childhood for the child his teacher is his God and whatever teacher teaches him is the final truth for him and even parents comes after his teacher. So it’s teacher’s responsibility to make his students good human being, and to give the nation a bright future. That’s why it is well said that -

 A teacher's job is to take a bunch of live wires and see that they are well-grounded. 


And this profession also requires much more presences of mind because teacher will never come to know that which type of question will be asked by his students and as teacher it’s his responsibility to satisfied his students by giving him satisfactory answer and it’s not easy to give satisfactory answer every time.

I want to share my experience of my teacher whenever I think of ideal teacher; the image that comes in my mind is of my sir who developed my interest in English subject and because of him I jumped into the world of English language and literature and I don’t feel guilty for choosing it. Even  in present time not only me but my all friends are highly inspired by one man and he is our sir for whom his work comes first and who is hub of the knowledge. Teacher has the capacity to change whole thinking of his students and I can feel that changes within me because of my sir.


I also want to share my feeling as teacher. Last year when I was studding B.ed I had to go in school and to teach students for 15 days and in those 15 days I felt that great feeling of being a teacher. Whenever I taught my students and whenever they replied excitingly I felt that feeling and tears come out naturally. So that was one of the best moments of my life though tears were there.

Now if we think about the present situation of this profession than I would say that still this profession has not been given that importance which it deserves. Still people think that people who are not scholar and have no potential for the profession like doctory ,engineering, and etc always choose teaching as profession while reality is different. Even our great thinkers like Gandhiji and Swami Vivekananda both had highly respect for this profession.


As we know that every coin has two sides it also has another side which is dark. As I mentioned that every profession is itself noble but it depends on person to make it noble p and ignoble. In present time some people have take this profession just as tool of earning more money and because of kind of money- minded people this profession has lost the respect.
In nutshell I just want to say that–

Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.
