Try being a teacher!

Teach one, teach many, teach all! This should be your mantra at some point in your life. There's a saying among circles that if you teach one, you teach an entire community. But then, when does one start teaching?
Myth #1: Not everyone can be a teacher!
The comment or particular belief may be skewed through the relationship prism of an educator and a student. Everyone, literally every person I know can be a teacher - it's something that we are born with, a talent that we possess! Speaking to people and wishing for their growth. We look at it as a casual job and not as something that will empower others. It loses its charm when we start thinking about it as a chore. So - "teach one, empower one thousand.'
Myth #2: Teaching is too much work!
Who said it wasn't? Teaching is a trap - albeit something which has all the frameworks to grow every passing day. It is work, especially if you look at it that way. Wipe away the fog of mockery and look at being a teacher; pick up modern nuances of providing knowledge and watch the seats filling up!
Myth #3: Who needs teachers?
Almost no one said that, ever! But it does cross the mind of everyone at some point in time. But then, isn't it true that rendering knowledge to others is an art too! Respect the art; bow down to the artist!
Myth #4: The digital age will eliminate the need...
Stop right there, if you're even thinking of the next word! There was never a world where teachers didn't exist, and we're sure the next century will see more people pick up the profession or moonlight as an educator - using technology to teach millions in one session. Eliminating teacherhood - is just not possible!
What's in store?
Your attempt as a teaching aid/teaching vehicle to upskill and develop the next million or billion. Whoever said that teaching was a challenge did so at their risk because the plaudits received when creating an impact are substantial!
Don't rise! Respect, imbibe the best, learn from the best, and be the next education nest!
