I got an assignment to do in 5 days. However, I wasn’t able to work well with it. Yesterday I made an output in few hours only without hassles. In fact it was more difficult I guess than what I am doing right now. The reason is, it’s hard to work on things that have nothing to do with you. It’s like, it’s not easy to create something useful if you simply unaware of what you’re working on. It kills the time and gives me headache! I’m giving it up…I really can’t make it..I simply can’t. No matter how hard I try. If you love and enjoy your work then fatigue and stress are nothing to you. On the other hand, even if how simple a certain thing is, if you don’t like it then you’ll easily get tired.

The heart and love for labor is truly vital to sustain the task and come up with good and desirable results. In the past I hate teaching, but now? I learned to love it.

In a language institute where I’m currently employed, all the students have their own e-dictionary specially when they’re having their grammar lesson and express yourself session.

” The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards”- Anatole France

Primarily teaching should be the means of opening the minds of children for their desire to know. Normally young minds are inquisitve. They never stop asking questions to adult until they are satisfied with it. The role of educator is to arouse more their curiosity and answering it fully afterwards. The teacher should be careful in answering the querries of a child. An adult may not know but all the things that are told to children are all true to them. If an adult tell a lie, that lie will continue to be a lie. That will only change if they got new answers and found out what’s really true.Like for instance, if a child ask why the sea is blue and he’s answered that it’s because the seawater is blue, that idea will stay in him. When he/she reach elementary, his/her Science teacher might explained why is that so. By then, that wrong perception is now changed into a right one.

Teachers and educators should be reminded that the questions asked by the learners should not be in a sarcastic way when answered. That an educator should not emphasize that he/she already learned million things compared to his/herlearners. Moreover, learners must gain satisfaction with their questions. If a teacher doesn’t know about a certain question, he should be honest to himself and to everybody. Explain to the child clearly and plainly. Have the talent to make them understand things better.
