The student-teacher relationship is something... well, I don't really have one that I treasure, I suppose. When I was in school, I did get recognized well by some teachers (whether due to my lovely grades, my ability and willingness to tutor my academically-less-capable friends, or my awful sports skill, or my rather garish behavior), but I never get personally close to any, as it would feel very awkward (a classmate I knew since junior high had always been trying to get 'friendly' with teachers. I mean, who would invite teachers to a birthday party? her). Nonetheless, there are a few teachers, might not be my favorite ones, whose words of wisdom inspired me. Here are three wisdoms I've always been recalling from it is said.
"Usaha sama dengan hasil."
(work equals results)
-my high school physics teacher
"Tidak ada ilmu yang sia-sia."
(no science is vain)
-my high school principle (who also taught biology, one of my favorite subjects -but not the teacher herself, though)
"Kamu tahu gimana caranya menulis yang baik? Banyak-banyak membaca."
(do you know how to write decently? Read lots)
-my college lecturer (I wrote a long entry about her in my journal about the end of last year as she's such an inspiring woman)
Perhaps these words sounds undoubtedly cliché, yet to hear it directly in the midst of frazzle, distractions, quandary, or such feelings, these words come in as a smash of motivation.
