Being a "T"ero

Four or five moments - that's all it takes to become a hero. Everyone thinks it's a full-time job. Wake up a hero. Brush your teeth a hero. Go to work a hero. Not true. Over a lifetime there are only four or five moments that really matter. Moments when you're offered a choice to make a sacrifice, conquer a flaw, save a friend - spare an enemy. In these moments everything else falls away...

Does teaching make people teachers? Many people are teaching. They go to one place, finish the job, collect their payment and move on or circulate again. There's nothing wrong with that, no, except that being a TEACHER IS NOT A JOB. It is more of a mindset, an ideology for one to put the interests of others before itself. Getting equivalent reward is necessary, but secondary.

Is being a teacher a full-time job? Many people are in school being full-time teachers. They wear their teacher name tags, hold class folders and deliver "drills". There's nothing weird with that, no, except that being a TEACHER IS NOT ABOUT FORMALITY. You do not have to wake up a teacher, brush your teeth a teacher, take a shit a teacher. When you have the right mindset, even just one hour or 30 minutes, you can help/guide/teach/educate the weaker.

That, is what makes a teacher. It's not about your foreign education background, not your birth country not your polished test scores. It's Your Mind.
