MODERN ACADEMIC INSTITUITIONS, My Perspective

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extra ordinary project, all your thoughts break your bonds, your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”

          I got inspiration to write this from my surroundings and by observing the world of education today. When looking around we can find many institutions providing education in a customized manner. The owners of the education business redefine the education according to their style and custom. They market the system well and makes the people believe that this is education. They set cover up infrastructure and provides transportation facilities. When we examine all these drama in close, we observe this signifies nothing but with full of sound and fury. This is the situation. In this stage we have to understand what is education?
          In modern psychology, education is a wider concept. We can’t include it in a box. Because it offers a wide variety of possibilities and explorations. Some of the factors are:
1.     The basic motto in the present scenario is to provide sufficient input to provide the intellectual quest of the students.
2.     Provide ample space for their creativity.
3.      Create innovative ideas and support the students to make it happen.
4.     Provide space for free thinking.
5.     It is a ground to cultivate morality and ethics.
6.     Bring best educators and born teachers form around the world to cater the intellectual and emotional needs of the students.
7.     Value the uniqueness of persons and accept their different view points.
8.     Assign extra ordinary and multi talented people into the leadership positions of these academic institutions.  Because we cannot mimic quality.
9.     It is a place where standards, human vales and competence are respected.
10.                         Bring international standards to people, infrastructure and strategies.
11.                         Make it an open platform to welcome the suggestions and improvements.


                   Unfortunately, can we say these are practiced in our educational systems?  Surely not. Then, what is going on there.

1.     Most of the educational systems are run by unethical people with money motives.
2.     Most of the governing board members have no idea about the dynamics of education and the fast moving information society.
3.     Most of the head of the institutions are not adequately competent to lead the vibrant students and high-tech faculties.
4.     They lack crisis resolution capabilities. They have an inherent fear of the failures.
5.     We can’t expect the real leadership from them.
   


The world respects the wise ones, the scholars. The wise ones get honored and rewarded with riches. One can get anything through learning. It is worshipped everywhere.”

Survival Facts, From war Zone to Classroom, My Perspective


 

        Wealth and fame as the world knows them are not a true teacher’s gain. Thorns and thistles strew the way, no matter how you face each day. But fragrant blossoms also bloom along this rugged path, helping your joy and strength revives, keeping your hope and commitment alive. For the lives you touch, the good you do shall never know an end.”


            This time I got inspiration to write this article to share my views, convictions and truths against the rumors and stories regarding myself. I feel I am always in a war zone surrounded by enemies who are eagerly looking for my fall. In this war field I am alone. I feel the loneliness. But I can survive in all the matters without even a scratch. The God almighty is continually showering his mercy and protection through all these years. So I can survive against all these evil people. I am sure that I am under a training session framed by my God to shape my character and legacy.
            Why I am a victim of all problems? Why I am the marked man in the sight of the people around me? Why I am continually attacked?
            These are the questions that I am asking myself in all these days. These are unanswered for me in my entire life. But the Almighty revealed the answers to all my questions some days before. So I am sharing this to all. These are the answers to all who suffer a lot without any reasons.
            The answer is I am in the right track. I am swimming against the flow. If I choose to follow the ways of the people then I feel safe. But I know that is not safety. It is ultimate fall. So I decided to follow the path of my own. This path is not selected by me. Some one inside me guides me to that way.
            Recently I faced the following questions and I consider that questions against my integrity. The questions are
  1. Why I care and protect the students?
  2. Why I guide them?
  3.  Third one is not a question. But it is a set of stories regarding me.

            I think these fools don’t know who is a teacher, what is the relation between the teacher and disciples, what are the roles and responsibilities of a teacher? Why students need guidance? Why they need protection and support?
            If they know these answers then they use their time for competence, professional and personal growth and for a positive mindset and set some standards of excellence. I pay my condolence to them.

            Let me explain the psychology behind the teaching. It is not only for these idiots but also for all who needs and wishes wisdom and like to become a good teacher.

In the case of formal education what is teaching? What is the real role and duty of a teacher?
            The role and duty of a teacher is mainly divided into two aspects.

            The first one is the responsibility and role of a philosopher. As a philosopher he has to act as a free thinker, as an educational psychologist and a cognitive therapist. One who knows well about these educational theories can only do these duties and responsibilities. One who doesn’t know about this can only become jealous and he can only do underground practice that only he knows.

            The second role is an activist. Here the teacher acts as a judge, controller, promoter, adviser, guide, a mentor and a fierce protector who can lift his disciples from any circumstances or even from death.
           
            Today the term education is completely changed. The purpose of education is to bring out what is inside. Through this process personal development and personality development may also happened. In this stage a teacher’s guidance and mentoring is necessary. During this stage teachers must know one thing. All these students are individuals with their own ways, culture, intelligence etc. Teacher must accept and respect this individualism. If this trust is genuine, then there is a synchronization is happened. During this stage a teacher must consider the followings.

  1. Teacher’s personal life and professional life is a guiding light to the students.
  2. Never avoid and ignore the students. Wrong things may happen from the side of students. Teachers are considered to be more matured and having wisdom than students. (It is not applicable in all the situations.) So consider it with patience and care. This situation a teacher must raise to the role of a protector. This will cause a psychological change in the mind of the students.

Can we call anyone a teacher if they teach us?

“If you quarrel with God, then you don’t worry. Because your teacher is there to help you and he know how to solve this. But if you quarrel with your teacher, then no one will be there to help you and nobody knows the solution to solve it.”

            In the modern days the term teacher is a designated name. One who knows the subject then people will address them as teachers. But everyone we address as teachers have the eligibility to be a teacher. Today the society addresses any buffoon a teacher if he or she teaches in a college or school. Most of them consider teaching as a profession. It is a wrong notion. Teaching is really a vocation. ie, a selfless service with sacrifice and purity. Teaching is not a matter of conveying academic matters to the disciples but enlightening and enriching excellence with care, consideration and a guiding vision and correction methods.
            Practicing the above mentioned facts is not simple. We can make it simple if it s life to us. To impart this excellence we need born teachers. Because teachers are born, not made. No degree, qualification and training make good teachers. To be a good teacher is a high call from the Almighty.
            I got inspiration to write this article from the environment I am working with and experienced with. A lot of people entering into this noble service with wrong intentions and with underground movements. The society is supporting such trained teachers. I call them as trained teaching labors. Zen masters select one or two disciples from thousands and they train them as masters. Because they know nobody can be a master without a spark in them. They find out that spark. Teachers with such spark can ignite generations from dark. Society needs and demands such persons as teachers.
 So we can call them as teachers with the values they behold and impart.
 

“Our students of today will shape the new tomorrow. The values we inculcate in them today, will depend the future of the world”.

Personal Integrity is necessary for gaining respect?





“The world admires oneself by the personal integrity he beholds, not by the position and the image he entertains”.


I got inspiration to write this article from the people that I am watching everyday and with the people that I am working with. When observing people’s daily activities and behavior, I identified that integrity plays a major role in one’s success. I found many people in my surroundings begging for respect, admiration and dignity. In my observation I noticed that nobody respect them with mind. Many of them make an illusion of respect to them. The main problem I found in such respect beggars is that they lack integrity. Integrity means this person is accountable for all his actions and words. How many men can assure that, they are accountable?
When observing the teaching community, I found many respect beggars there. They want respect. They do anything to gain respect. Someone went for illegal matters to gain respect. Someone project an image that he is the lizard that lifts the building.  Someone is too busy in idiot matters and curtain lectures. We have many such pigs in our education system.  
When coming to the point that we have to provide such idiots sufficient training in personnel management and human relations. I have one advice to them. Be genuine, in all matters regarding speech, actions and in the body language. Because in the society there are vibrant and brilliant people to find the genuineness of a person. If you need respect and success treat all people with genuineness and understanding.
In connection with personal integrity, I can printout one thing that keep a standard and project the identity and signature to the society. This signature is not your initials, but who is the real you with vales and beliefs. Most of them have no identities and values. They call anyone as their parent if he is beautiful. I mean they heave the character of many uncultured barbaric peoples.


“So keep the real you as it is then only the world will rejoice with your presence. Otherwise you are the curse to the society and you will be eliminated soon. Mind it.”

Mind Reading is a Fact or Not?

              Mind Reading is the magical ability to map someone's mental terrain from their words, emotions and body language.During my experience with mind reading or face reading I can assure that it is possible. I can suggest the following tips for experimenting this.

1. Try to know the person more by observing them.

2. First analyse the body language of the person and realize whether it is   
    genuine or not.

3. Observe the persons walking style, smile, tone of the language, expressions
    and eyes.

4.  Notice the breathing of the person.

5. Finally make an assumption and reach the conclusion. Your analysis is over.

can I change for someone?

"you are a born original. Don't die as a copy. Don't care if someone doesn't like you. You are not put on earth to please anyone. Life is to express yourself not to impress anyone."
     
I write this article to clear the misunderstandings of many people. Majority of them thought that I step back from my words. I can't do so. The reason behind their misunderstanding is they even don't realise me. The real thing is that I just make a strategic step back to observe others. I have to observe others especially teachers capacities, sacrifices, intentions, motives and to check who they really are? Majority of them failed in my experiment.
So I would like to come again with much force and energy than before. Other cowards can take it as a challenge to stop me. It's really futile.
       When explaining to myself, I have great thinking and higher level value system as a teacher. But majority of teachers don't have so. So there is a vast difference between me and them. There is a saying " dogs will bark, but the caravan must go". So I am also keep going.
In my opinion a teacher's role is to elevate the students to some upper level. Can we say how many teachers doing so? Many of them are speaking so. That is the only easy thing in the world. When we come to the reality all are vanished.
O' palaeolithic teachers, I feel pity on you. Your time is expired. Arabian sea is waiting.
        I can give one advice to other teachers. You can consider me as your role model. Because you people have lost your identity. With out identify you people also lost your self esteem. So you people are looking at me for your problems. First look in your self. If you can't find any solution,  then consider me for your identity.

      I know I am suitable for you as a role model. I have my own way as a teacher. This is my unique way.
    I can point out some of my unique nature and characteristics as a teacher. So students admire me. There is nothing evil or wrong in it. Everything is divine and spiritual.

1. Being a teacher is not my foolish mistake. It was the almighty who choose me out of thousands and he called me to be a teacher.
2. I just didn't teach the students rather I influence them. What I am teaching is simply an extension of what I am and my character influence others.
3. I am very devoted, committed, compassionate, sincere and diligent. These qualities were undoubtedly the discipline of my life.
4. I am sure that my mission is to affect not only the minds of the students but their lives as well.
5. I constantly develop my skills by preparing the topic, mind and soul to handle the young and growing minds.
6. I use my personal development time effectively, just as a race car driver plans pit stop for refuelling, refreshments and mechanical adjustments. There are times when I will need to stop what I am doing and use the downtime for professional refuelling, refreshing and adjustments.
7. I value the potential of each student.
8. I know surely that, the teachers duty is to encourage and empower the students. As I am empowered and fearless I can do so.
9. I have a good relationship with the students. Times have changed. Today students look for a mentor not simply a teacher.
10. As I am curious, my curiosity about the students culture will help me to understand them and subsequently reach them.
11. I am not just a teacher. I am investing my time and effort in the students for their wealth that cannot be counted.
12. I teach my students to set personal standards of excellence.
13. I have a trust relationship with the students. If the students trust you they will trust what you say.
14. I am what I am is more important than what I am teaching. A good teacher communicates character. The students learn as much about me as they learn from me.
15. A good teacher characteristic is he must be available all the time. I am open and anybody can discuss their issues at any time with me.
16. I never put label to the students. Label means he or she is bad or he or she has a past life. I can't think so. I am here to guide them to the right track.
" when you say a situation or a person is hopeless,  you are slamming the door in the face of God".

The above mentioned are some of my nature and ways.

Thank God for helping me to explain your mystery.

"Don't accept others definition of your life.
It is your life. Only you have the right to define it. So define it yourself the way you love it to be. Be yourself because no one knows about you better than you ".

Why I am a Teacher?

“A man attains greatness by his merits, not simply by occupying an exalted seat. Can we call a crow an eagle simply because he sits on the top of a tall building?”

            Everybody has a mission that is assigned by the God almighty. Being a teacher is mission of me. But when I entered into the teaching profession many things comes to my mind. I am a student under many teachers. That is the reason behind the questions in my mind. In my life I was taught by many uncultured, non valued, blind and unethical men and women. I think they are the curse to the generations. But these low class people teach me how a teacher should not be? So when I am a teacher I decided to be different in my approaches and visions. So I am different teacher. I have different ideas regarding education and values.

            Being different I am alone in my path. My ways are unorthodox. There is a saying, “If you follow the crowd, the place you will most likely end up at is the exit”.
Many of the teachers have complaint about me that they are not getting respect from the students because of me. How these rascals can think so? These low class men and women first look in themselves. If they find anything valuable in them, then they get respect. Otherwise look others with jealousy. I have one advice to these uncultured teachers. Stop the teaching profession and go somewhere utterly lost. Then the society will be thankful to you. Another statement I am hearing is that students come to me sharing their views. I understand that one among the idiot man ask the students what we are discussing. Why this fraud man doing so? Go and die man. You have no chance in this universe. People come to me because I am the eligible and right person to discuss their problems and they believe I have the capacity to solve their problems. They experience it already. Can these bloody teachers have the capacity to solve the problems? They lack the capacity to solve their own problems. Then how the solve others problems. But this country man needs all the respect as a whole. Some fraud men said that I am in a position, so people comes to me so as to please me. But these matters are only applicable to these fellows. If a teacher having experience in several years is not a symbol of his or her wisdom. That means he or she has several years senior. But they lack capacity.
            Another bad practice I found that some teachers are putting their head on all the matters. They think they are controlling this universe. I feel pity on them. I express my condolence on them because of their death even they live.
            Finally I express my ideologies to be a teacher. To be a teacher I am very genuine. My dealings are professional. I complete my portions on time. I am not complaining anyone for my faults.  If I found any fault I improve. I will not talk anything vulgarly to the students. I value the students. I have good faith in them. If they found doing anything bad we have to guide them not blaming and not to throw them away.
