Teachers Should NOT be Rich

 

What is your ambition in life to be? A doctor, a pilot, a soldier,  a lawyer, a director, a secretary, an accountant, a clerk, a seller. Are you going to be a teacher? Of course not. Why? Because the job needs patient,  generous, simple, honest.We spend lots time but the result is little, even nothing. 

Do you remember about Oemar Bakri's story? A teacher who always wears simple uniform rides a bicycle everyday. He is keen on reading books as his hobby. His house is quite small where he lives with family. Even though he lives, he happy to teach his students.

Let's compare with another profession, for instance: a doctor who has a big house, wear expensive  dresses, ride a car, eat nutrition food, travel abroad. From whom do they learn about health, science, knowledge, medicine, politics, law, economy, trading?

Teachers educate students how to read, write, count, differentiate good and bad aptitude, make good deed for parents, society and nation. Teachers are proud of their students who succeed any career they take. However, if few students fail, the teachers are suffer and sad. We are still teacher whatever your position as a president, a minister, governoor, regent, etc.

Are you happy if your teachers are rich?
