Academia has a partner in every sphere. Today's students are tomorrow's practitioners. To mold them the right way, we need to employ perspectives of the world they will be a part of once they graduate. Silos have never helped anyone and academia is no exception. To be a teacher, you need to be a student and a student who never stops learning. With such fertile and open thoughts, you can bring in innumerable experiences for your students. And we can learn from anyone. Once we think abundantly, we can be enriched with the new perspectives.

Embrace a growth mindset and foster an environment that promotes experimentation and risk-taking. Engage with a variety of people, both within and outside the field of education, to gain different perspectives and insights. Look for opportunities for brainstorming, idea sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. Stay informed about advancements in teaching methodologies, technology integration, and educational policies. Be willing to step outside your comfort zone, learn, and grow.

There is no failure. Just new lessons. We always encourage our students to try and forget that we have to lead the way. One of the greatest gifts that we can give ourselves is the gift that lets us try new things! Curiosity can be inspirational and can enrich our minds.

You cant water a bush with an empty pot. Self care will help you not only take care of yourself, but it also makes sure that your students' have a blemish free experience. If you are struggling, that will reflect on your work and can inadvertently lead to situations that you dont want to present to others. Whatever helps you stay healthy, physically and mentally, invest your time in those activities.

There is always someone, who you havent met, and who can inspire you to do things that you cannot fathom! Find that person. It can be a partner, a mentor, a friend or someone who helps you grow. There is a lot of power in meeting people. Sometimes being present in the company of others is all you need to do.
