In praise of teachers

Teaching is the profession that creates all other professions in the world,
Thus, the role of teachers is so precious to our entire lives,
Teachers hold the torch of knowledge as they willingly take on a very human noble cause of teaching,
Teachers nurture and sharpen our brains to make us global achievers,
Teachers indeed help us to learn and clearly understand complex and indispensable subjects,
Teachers passionately instruct and guide us to great heights of academic success,
Teachers truly aspire to make us the best intellectuals, who can make big global differences,
Teachers constantly pursue to perfect our knowledge and information bases,
Oh teachers, what a blessing you are to us and thank you for all your endless efforts to make us great,

If it were not for you teachers, ignorance and underutilisation would reign worldwide,
As lifelong learners, teachers always teach us new found principles and formulas,
You zealously research and prepare the quality education forums for us,
You make wise decisions for all our academic needs and aspirations,
You equip us with necessary education that helps us to prevail in our career lives,
You inspire us to thirst for sensible and unique knowledge that changes our lifestyles,
You mentor us very professionally to become multi-productive global citizens,
You properly educate us to become experts in different fields
You read mountains of books and papers to arm us with correct facts and valid topics
What an immeasurable sacrifices that you make to tune our minds,
As you also make thousands of decisions each day to help us prevail academically

What should we do for you our teachers?
We must highly value and respect you at all times,
We must reward you very handsomely and provide you with all required tools,
We must listen to your career pains and insights and act upon them,
We must attend and take care of your needs and prioritse them at all costs,
We must take all necessary steps to make them happy and comfortable,
And we must always give them optimum consideration,

Teachers, Lecturers, Tutors and Professors
We honour and like you,
Because without you, we would not become,
Lawyers, Judges and consultants
Doctors, scientists, engineers and architects
Journalists, researchers and writers,
Leaders, entrepreneurs and employees,
Innovators and artists and we therefore rise and say long live teachers
