Teacher's guidance

Teachers have a great responsibility in making foundations for a bright future of any nation because students are supposed to shape their nation. Teachers must be very careful while guiding their teachers and should explain each and everything in detail so as to eliminate any doubts in the minds of the students. To achieve this goal they can take help of practical examples either from daily life or by performing them in front of the students, if possible. Here is an example describing this principle.

Once in a medical college, a teacher was teaching his students about the qualities of a doctor which every doctor should have. He was telling them that every doctor should have two most important qualities apart from general ones. Those qualities are: should have very good observation and should not hesitate from anything.

The first quality means that a doctor should observe each and everything with a deep sense and should be able to understand the situation fully. Whereas the second quality of non-hesitation from any smell means that if a doctor sees wounds of a patient or a patient with a number of injuries, he should not hesitate or feel reluctant to treat the patient.

The doctor explains his point by performing a practical example before the students. He took a glass full of water and showing it to his students told that this glass of water contains water and cattle dung mixed in water. Then he dipped one of his fingers in the glass and then touched his mouth with a finger. Then he said to his students that see he has no hesitation for this and if they will do the same, he will be sure that his students can be good doctors in the future.

To show their teacher that they too have no hesitation, each students did as asked by the teacher. After all the students performed the task, the teacher said that all of them had failed in the test! All were amazed that how it happened when they did as asked by their teacher. They all were eager to know where they failed. Then the teacher told them that no doubt they acquire one quality of non-hesitation but did not observe, because the teacher touched his mouth with a different finger than that he dipped in the glass! After listening this truth, all the students felt sad and then promised to their teacher not to repeat this fault in future.

So from the above description we all must take a lesson that whenever our teachers give us any guideline or teaches us to develop some quality, we must take it seriously and have a deep thinking on all aspects. Otherwise we will not be able to follow our teacher’s guidelines in full like the students of the above example.
