my fav quotes from my teachers

 


On the occasion of Teacher's day, I wanted to remember my fav teachers in school/teacher and their quotes that stayed fresh in my mind after many years.

NOTE: I may not remember the exact words. These are just from my memory. Anyway, who cares?

 

From my social sir in school:-

When does a revolt rise? When people lose their patience.

From my Sanskrit sir in jr. college:-

There is no edge for knowledge.

From my chemistry sir in jr. college:-

No one wants to return from the death. Maybe death is very beautiful.

Also from the same sir:-

When you comb your hair, your focus should be on completely on your hair and the comb.

Also from the same sir:-

In a forest, the tallest animal is Giraffe. The wisest animal is fox. The largest animal is Elephant. Lion is none of them. But still he is king of the jungle.

From my maths sir in jr. college:- (he said in a form of poem which his teacher told)

I am going through a forest, 

On the way there was beautiful trees, 

with blooming flowers, and 

pleasant streams. 

But I should not stop at them

I have to go to my place.

I cannot stop at these.

[this is a motivation to not to stop at any fancy things that might deviate us from our aim]


So these are the ones that I remember. Thanks for reading !!

25 and Disappointed: Can’t we choose simple life?

 There’s something strange about the way we live now. It’s not enough to do your job. You have to grow. Climb. Upskill. Network. Earn more. Spend more. Repeat. People areound you - even the ones who seem tired - still say, “Keep pushing.” The ones ahead keep reaching higher. The ones behind are told to catch up. And if you stand still for even a moment, they say you’re wasting time. But no one explains why. Why is a peace a problem? Why is being satisfied with what you have seen as a failure? This idea of “simple life” - it used to be normal. Work. Come home. Cook. Be with the people you love. Rest. Now it’s rare. Or romanticized. Or quietly looked down on. We’re told that success means constant movement. That we need to hustle, or we’ll be left behind.  But behind what, really? We’ve normalized the rat race, without asking who started it. And the truth is - only a few can actuallly win it. Most people burn out trying.  Others fake their way through it, smiling through st...

Bye-bye strict timetables...! - The Bloggers League 2022

     Author: Rama Subrahmanyam (ramasubrahmanyam.m@gmail.com) When we are planning for multi-tasking, we divide our time and allocate it for each task. That is a great thing, as it gives a chance for incremental growth, eventually getting compounded...      Scheduling makes us punctual; sometimes forces us to be punctual if someone is counting on us, say an examination, office meeting, so on...      Besides strict things, some activities should happen at planned times, like sports, gym, etc. But, we still have things, that can be done in our free time - say reading books, solving puzzles, or learning something of our passion. Should we also maintain the timetable in those cases...? Well, may not be that necessary... We get used to a task at the same time if we have a strict timetable; In a way, can also affect our peace... Suppose due to urgent work, we missed a task      -  We may develop a bad feeling,    ...

25 and Disappointed: Survival should not mean Struggling

There are days I wish I could just leave my job. But I don’t do it. Because I need to pay my rent. I need to eat. I don’t have any other income. I am afraid that I am not alone in this. I see people who are smart and talented - doing things they don’t love. They settle. Not out of choice, but out of fear. The fear of being homeless, being hungry. They live in a world that demands payment of bills more than anything. That brings a simple, maybe naive thought: What if food and shelter were guaranteed for everyone? What if one need not be working just to survive? Is it wild to wish for these? Are these not the basic human rights… If the basic needs were covered, what could we become? Artists, teachers, thinkers, healers - they are made out of passion. People can volunteer more, care for the elderly, innovate better, or take time and get a chance to do things slower… The working class would not have to burn themselves to keep the lights on. The poor wouldn’t have to beg.  What if peopl...
