Mille Mercis

" A disciple is not above his teacher, But everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher."  Luke-6:40(KJV) 

The above given quote is taken from THE BIBLE which clearly says that a disciple or, in other words, a  student cannot be above his teacher. Even if he is complete in discipline, finished or perfect, or has  received the last touch of the workman's hand, he could be like his teacher but can never be above  his teacher. 

Teachers are some of the most self-less, giving, caring individuals in our world. Their goals and  ambitions are to see their students succeed in life and many of us have our teachers to thank for  where we are! 

As it is rightly said that, 

" School is the second home for the children" 

It is here that the children learn the major lessons of life from academic to moral values. And these  lessons are diligently taught to them by no other but their teachers. 

So, students should owe their due respect and credit to their teachers. Even if they have succeeded  with flying colors or hold higher positions in society but still, they are still the piece of workmanship  of their teachers. Though students may succeed in positions or careers (as it is in society) they can  never succeed in experience and wisdom. 

As for students, they should keep hold of instructions given to them during their schooling. Because  teachers are the ones who teach students the ' way of wisdom' and lead them in the 'right paths’,  and most importantly 'bring the best' out of them. 

As Rudyard Kipling said, 

" God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers" 

And according to me this goes the same for teachers as well, " As God could not be everywhere, and  therefore he made teachers to teach us the lessons of life and prepare us for the battles and  struggles of life."
