To persevere is to meet God halfway perhaps. To know ones subject can be a hard task as it requires the teacher to accept the student sometimes will trip you up with an answer that proves we are all learners. To revere knowledge something that requires us to avoid shortcuts to obtaining it. As always completed another task well. Rgards David in NZ

My dearest friend, David, what I have written comes out of thirty years teaching experience, in different countries. I hope all is well in NZ and that your country is back to normal. Blessings.

As a kid I used to want to be a teacher. But as I grew older, I knew I could never be one. And your wise words are most admirable, my friend.

Teachers affect eternity, my dearest friend, Fin. You, too, affect eternity when you share what you know well and is beneficial to others. Thank you for your kind words. Blessings!

Teachers have the greatest gift, sharing their knowledge with others and the knowledge they give us sets us off on the quest to gain even more. Tom

Yes, they ought to do that, but not all deserve to be called teachers, my dearest friend, Tom. Thank you for your analytical comment. Blessings.

Wisely penned my friend, Demetrios. Teaching is one of the noble tasks that can't be done without tools. The main tool is deep knowledge and broadening culture

They say that teachers affect eternity, my dearest friend, Lasaad, therefore, we should be very careful who is teaching. Thank you for your constructive comment. God bless you!
