A Student Should Minister to His Teachers

 

Attentively and respectfully learning the arts

 

The southern direction, or the right hand direction, represents the relationships we have with our teachers as a result of their giving us education and training. A student should minister to his teachers by:

 

1. Rising to receive them (as an expression o9f respect);

2. Serving them (in things, which facilitate the teacher’s convenience);

3. Being obedient to the teaching or showing an eagerness to learn;

4. Providing personal service or helping their personal and professional businesses at the appropriate time and chance;

5. Attentively and respectfully learning the arts and sciences and knowing how to use the knowledge to live well and to be successful.

 

Being obedient to the teaching or showing an eagerness to learn

 

Why don’t students respect their teachers? They do not learn to respect at home.

In many societies, even when children may not agree with other people’s opinions, but they will learn how to respect others’ opinions. Anyway, students should respect their teachers, because teachers teach us not only because it is their jobs. They have to dedicate their lives to learning things and skills that they need. They actually guide us through those times of learning things and skills that they need. They actually guide us through those times of education, and they want to see their students become successful.

 

Providing personal service or helping their personal

We should always be grateful to our teachers. Without teachers, how can we learn properly and effectively? When we do not learn properly and effectively, we lose our extra time and effort to find the right information or the correct answers. Teachers actually are our adopted parents or families, who share our goals and who are an important part of our accomplishments. They are not just hired carriers who take us from the unknown side to the known side. If the unknown side is the dark side and the known side is the bright side, teachers are like our sunshine.
