“It
requires a lot of courage to become an educator as it is not for everybody. If
a parent is unworthy, children are spoiled; if a doctor neglects his duty, the
patient dies; if an engineer performs poorly, the infrastructure collapses; and
if an educator makes a mistake, an entire generation is ruined.” – Professor
M.S. Rao, International Leadership Expert
Today
we Indians celebrate teacher’s day to commemorate the birth anniversary of S.
Radhakrishnan. He is an amazing example
of an academician reaching to the highest position of office -- President in
India. He showed to everyone that teachers are leaders, and can influence
beyond their academic career through their example.
He
was born in Tituttani in Tamilnadu to poor parents who initially thought of
making him a priest. But his parents recognized his abilities early and
encouraged him to pursue studies. He pursued his education through
scholarships. He led Andhra University and Banaras Hindu University. His abilities and capabilities were spotted,
and he was made as the Vice President of India. Pundit Nehru spotted his abilities,
and finally he was made as the President of India.
Being
born as poor is not a sin, and not a liability. The present youth should learn
lessons from the biography of S. Radhakrishnan.
They must emulate his values and principles and work hard to make India
as a prosperous country in the world.
According
to the Hindu philosophy teacher has been accorded the third highest position
next to mother and father. Hence, teachers have to play a crucial role to live
up the expectations of students and to contribute their best and make a
difference in the lives of students.
On
the eve of teacher’s day let us salute this academic legend and emulate lessons
from his academic leadership to make Indian society better and India a
prosperous country in the world.
