O You Educators! ! !
Teach not a flying bird to swim
Ask not a bird to burrow
It will break its wings and beaks.
Force not the eagle
to swim like a fish.
Its world is the sky.
Teach not a bird to climb.
Monkey can do it better.
Train not the rabbit to fly.
Ask not the snake to walk straight.
Teach not the dog to sing
And ask not the squirrel to bark.
Let the peacock dance.
Ask not the hen to dance.
Train not the monkey to sing.
Nightingale will sing for you.
O You Educators! !
If only you knew
The creative potentials
Of the little humans
Entrusted to you! ! ! ! !
(As Educators we fail miserably in our schools and universities to understand the special creative capabilities of our students and to encourage them. We have to create a positive atmosphere and believe that each and every student entrusted to us is a unique being. Our children have greatness in them and very special talents. Parents should begin it in the family and teachers and Professors should continue to challenge and provoke them to get the best out of their uniqueness. It is our sublime duty to the younger generation) .
