Teachings and Teacher

Ramakant Acharekar was not a better cricketer than Sachin. Yet, it was his coaching that showed Sachin to Sachin, and in turn showed him to the world and world of cricket.
O.M.Nambiar was no match to P.T.Usha, but it was he who gave India one of the greatest athletes.
Gopichand in Badminton is no way better than Sindhu , but it was his coaching , perseverance, identifying the potential gave India the Silver medal in recent Olympics.
The glory of Dronacharya was to have developed Arjuna to the point where Arjuna was able to win the battle with his own teacher.
• We need someone outside to us to guide us. 
• They are the mirrors that reflect us to ourselves, that show us the strengths with which we can challenge our weaknesses. 
• We need coaches to sharpen our skills. 
• We need teachers to expand our knowledge. 
• We need Gurus to realize our spiritual life.
Our nursery teachers may not have made it as big as we in our life, but our life was built on the foundation of knowledge he or she gave us. Let us not compare ourselves with our guiding light.
• If you remove the Sun from the rays, nothing will remain. 
• If you remove the mud from the pot, nothing will remain. 
• If you remove the cause from the effect, nothing remains. 
• If we remove the teachings of our teachers from us, nothing of us will remain.
The math’s teacher wrote “ 1000” on the board and asked the student who was constantly disturbing the classes, “ How much is this “ confident, yet embarrassed by the simplicity of the question, the boy replied “ One thousand” . Now the teacher added a zero to the right and pointing at “ 10000” asked, “ How much is this “ “ Ten Thousand”, came the prompt reply. Now the teacher added another zero, but this time to the left of “ 1” and pointing “ 010000” again enquired, “ how much now ?” The Same…. Ten thousand , the boy replied.
The teacher smiled , winked and then said, “ When an insignificant number follows a significant number, it gains value. When the same insignificant number tries to go ahead of the significant number, then it has no value. So is the relationship between a teacher and a student. When a student follows the teacher, he or she gains value. The other way round…. Well , I don’t want to state the obvious.
The greatness of a coach is to show the player how capable he or she is. The greatness of a player how capable he is and live up to the capability he has been shown.
Be Blissful
