Life: Hari Guru

I come from a family of teachers. My grandfather was a teacher, both my parent are teachers though my father's already retired. But I've come to know the life of being a teacher.

I don't whether it's true or not, but it seems that Malaysian people always choose a teaching profession as their last resort. For me, even if a person ever thought of becoming a teacher, he or she should be respected.  Becoming a teacher is an admirable job, full of responsibility and nobility. Don't ever pollute the purest intention of providing knowledge, guiding young people and motivate them to follow their dreams into something you casually do just because you don't have any other choice.

I'm happy for some of my friends who choose teaching career for their jobs. I mean willingly and with passion. Some of them, I can see a drastic change in them, becoming somewhat a different person today, as I assume, the process of becoming a teacher and how they've come to realize they actually hold a great responsibility to educate the children of this country change them into a better person. Hopefully, a good educator, insyaAllah.

I may not have become the person I am today and I may not achieve what I have today without the help of my teachers, and that also include my parent and friends. Though a teacher is a separated entity, but to those who have ever taught me anything, you are also a teacher. I thank you for every little knowledge you have given me, and my prayer is with you.

We live with the intention of learning and teaching. We are both student and teacher. Even if the matter is not enough to make a big change for the society, may it gives the slightest benefit to one's life.

And lastly,

Guru itu ibarat pelita. Mengisi diri dengan minyak tanah (ilmu), dan menerangi malam kelam dengan cahayanya walaupun malap. Andaikan minyak nya habis, diisikan lagi dan terus membakar dirinya dalam segenap kegelapan. Jangan jadi seperti lilin, membakar diri namun kecundang di akhir perjuangan.

Selamat Hari Guru

kepada guru-guru, bakal guru, pesara guru dan apa-apa lah berkaitan dengan guru.
