What do you do when you are up against challenges that scare or overwhelm you?

Benjamin Franklin once said: “Out of adversity comes opportunity”. It was also stated by the great scientist Albert Einstein, “In middle of adversity there is great opportunity.” This was further reinstated by Dr. H S Nagraja in the show when he mentioned: “Any adversity also comes as a package of opportunity.”

It would be great if our lives were always easy and happy rather than challenging, isn’t it? We are often trapped in situations where pulling upon positive emotions seems difficult. The finest way to fight through any life's ambush is to embrace your current reality and exhibit authentic resilience to find ways to transform adversity into opportunity.

“If a nation has to progress the teaching profession should be respected.”

The role of our teachers is much appreciated for their remarkable contribution of knowledge and wisdom. Their role is not limited to just providing education but also shaping the personality of their mentees. A nation is built by its responsible citizens, who are moulded by their mentors. Education is the ultimate realm of every being. Undoubtedly, the role of the teacher is multi-faceted, one comprising of pedagogical and societal roles. The question is, are we doing enough to protect the respect the role of teachers that has been lost?
