Teachers' Day Special

Learning is an unending process of life, they say. Whom do we learn from? Who are our teachers?
We learn from our own mistakes - our actions and experiences are our teachers.
We learn from nature. Nature has its own way of making us learn how to live; indeed, that's how man evolved!
We learn from people around us. The first teacher in one's life is Mother. She is our teacher even before we take birth. We learn from our siblings, our parents, our family, our friends not only when they teach us something, but also by observation. Observation is another mode of learning what to do and what not to do.
We learn in schools and colleges. We learn from those we believe are richer by knowledge than us. We learn from books, newspapers and ofcourse, these days from internet. We learn from people whom we might not even have met - role  models. Inspiration is yet another medium of learning.
We have our everyday lessons at work. We learn from our seniors, subordinate and even from our juniors.
We learn from the poor the hardships of poverty and hardwork, we learn from the rich the luxuries that can be enjoyed; we learn from the politicians the power of oration, we learn from the entrepreneurs the rewards they earn for the risks taken.
A teacher need not always be a person. Anything/ anyone from whom we learn is our teacher.
Happy Teachers' Day to all those who have contributed to my learnings in any quantity, size and form!
