we can motivate the students that there will always be hopes or ways to reach our
own success as long as we keep on trying. On the other hand, as for the stork, there
is a Malaysian children song that starts with Bangau oh bangau kenapa engkau
kurus, macam mana aku tak kurus, ikan tak nak timbul. In this song, the crow or
bangau is blaming the others for his own problem that he is thin because of the fish
who didnt want to show up on the surface of the water. In this story, we should
always remind the students that we should never give excuses as it will only benefit
us nothing.
The third quality of a great teacher is that we should be the one to shiftgears for the students in every lesson. If our lesson fails to be understood by the
students in the class, we should be flexible in coming out with other ways to make
them comprehend the lesson. It is the responsible of the teacher to come out with
the various interesting ways in teaching the students as the time flows, the ways of
teaching should also change according to the ways the students are learning in
class. The students from 20 years back might have diferent approaches and ways
of learning because they can learn best by the way of chalk and talk, difer from
the students nowadays who prefer to learn by using the multimedia resources such
as videos and games.
As a conclusion, a great teacher will always be able to change ones future
because he or she is not just changing the students behaviors but also their way of
thinking and learning. Thus, we should always improve ourselves to become the
best teachers for our students.
