THE STUDENT

WHEN ONE CALLS HIM/HER SELF A STUDENT, THAT PERSON IS SAYING THAT THEY HAVE COMMITTED THEIR MIND TO A COURSE OF STUDY. THEY ARE ALSO SAYING THAT THEY WILL BE HUMBLE ENOUGH TO SUBMIT TO THE TEACHER OF THAT PARTICULAR COURSE OF STUDY. THE TEACHER CAN COME IN DIFFERENT FORMS OR SHAPES BUT NONETHELESS IS THE TEACHER. HOW MANY OF US CAN SUBJECT OUR EGOS, MEANING WHATEVER WE KNOW OR THINK WE KNOW, TO YIELD TO THAT WHICH KNOWS MORE OR KNOWS OF A PARTICULAR KNOWLEDGE THAT WE OURSELVES DO NOT YET KNOW? THE PURPOSE OF THE TEACHER IS TO TRAIN THE STUDENT INTO THE WAYS OF THE TEACHER TO ULTIMATELY BECOME THE TEACHER HIMSELF. A LOT OF US HAVE NOT THE PATIENCE TO STAY THE COURSE. ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE ARE THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE TEACHERS BUT HAVE NOT THE CREDENTIALS NOR THE MATURITY SO THE STUDENTS SIMPLY JUST WANDER ON. INSECURITY IS VERY MUCH REAL AND AS WITH ALL THINGS, THERE ARE REAL TEACHERS AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO WISH TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AS A TEACHER. LET US LOOK DEEP WITHIN OURSELVES AND BE VERY HONEST AS TO WHO WE REALLY ARE. EITHER YOU ARE A STUDENT OR YOU ARE NOT. EITHER YOU ARE A TEACHER OR YOU ARE NOT. ACTIONS ARE THE JUDGE. WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YOU? HOW DO PEOPLE RESPOND TO YOU? THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH WITNESSES TO WHO YOU ARE. THE TRUE AND REAL TEACHERS KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND NEED NO VALIDATION. SAME WITH THE TRUE STUDENTS. IN THE END, WE ARE ALL STUDENTS LEARNING IN THIS GREAT UNIVERSE. THE QUESTION IS: ARE WE HUMBLE STUDENTS OR ARE WE ARROGANT THINK- WE- KNOW- EVERYTHING- THAT-NOBODY-CAN-TEACH-ME-NOTHING TYPE OF STUDENT? CURRY'S CORNER.
