What is a Teacher?

What is a teacher?
A guide, not a guard.
What is learning?
A journey, not a destination.
What is discovery?
Questioning the answers,
Not answering the questions.
What is the process?
Discovering ideas
Not covering content.
What is the goal?
Open minds, not closed issues.
What is the test?
Being and becoming.
Not remembering and reviewing.
What is learning?
Not just doing things differently,
But doing different things.
What is teaching?
Not just showing them what to learn,
But showing them how to learn.
What is school?
Whatever we choose to make it.

覺得句句到位又令人深思。身邊很多朋友都開始工作了，什麼是工作？做別人要我們做的事？出賣勞力、腦力，滿足上司的「私慾」？為公司？賺錢養自己？養家？沒有人叫我們不停的工作，但我們都必須工作，他們說那是社會責任，他們說我們需要三餐溫飽，還要有多餘的錢滿足自己的欲望...

一天一天的過去，工作的日子30年很快過，你換了7份工，比你年輕的換了15份，因為其他的8份工你從來沒有聽過，也不知道要做什麼，你要學，他們說你學好了再來吧... 他們剝削你的時間，從來也不說對不起，晚年也只能一句 sorry。我們忘了什麼是生活...

就算真的是這樣，他們安慰你不用難過，因為大家都一樣... 再加一句：「講完啦，回去做工啦！」
