A Great teacher is someone whose words and actions are as natural as one foot taking a step and the other foot the next step, making it possible to move gracefully from one point to the next without hesitation or thought.

Unfortunately we have become arrogant and judgmental even unimpressed with anyone that does not look a certain way.  Somehow someone with money precedes someone with peace of mind. We think money will solve most of our problems so we focus all of our attention on how to make it. Our focus shifts from a successful life to” how to make money so that people see how successful I am”.

The thing is I meet people all the time, and when you really start talking to someone it is their essence that keeps you interested not the make of their watch.

I don’t think money has anything to do with happiness. In fact rich people are sometimes just as sad as poor people.

Successful life to me means someone who does not stop working on themselves and who does not try to change others so they can control their situation, but who rather works on themselves to be free of judgment, free of jealousy, free of self righteousness. I have never met a person that is better than another. I have just met people that are on different paths trying to learn a specific lesson, like Kindness, Forgiveness, Acceptance.

My teachers are everyone who comes into my life no matter how brief or how long.

My teachers brings me sorrow, joy, pity and admiration, and I can only master myself and become a Great teacher when I look at my world through the eyes of my heart.

A Great teacher to me is someone who does not tell me what to do but shows me through his/her actions, that kindness and compassion is the most natural order for the preservation of this earth.

You are definitely my greatest teacher G, the world would be such a beautiful place if everyone could see it through your heart.One thing however, you must know that there are a few of us that are better than the rest of the mere mortals- for that unfortunately you get A-!

Dear shaam, this is just a reminder that I am not the chosen one, I have not mastered smiling at all the beggers on the street, instead I avoid looking at them so that I don't feel bad, this is not a teacher this is a fool!!
