THE ESSENCE OF TEACHING: You Will Never Forget this – Author Unknown

On By Geri UngureanIn The Essence of Teaching8 Comments

An old man meets a young man who asks:“Do you remember me?”

And the old man says no.

Then the young man tells him he was his student, And the teacher asks:“What do you do, what do you do in life?”

The young man answers:“Well, I became a teacher.”

“ah, how good, like me?” Asks the old man.

“Well, yes. In fact, I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you.”

The old man, curious, asks the young man at what time he decided to become a teacher.

And the young man tells him the following story:

“One day, a friend of mine, also a student, came in with a nice new watch, and I decided I wanted it.I stole it, I took it out of his pocket.

Shortly after, my friend noticed the his watch was missing and immediately complained to our teacher, who was you.Then you addressed the class saying,

‘This student’s watch was stolen during classes today. Whoever stole it, please return it.”

I didn’t give it back because I didn’t want to.

You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle.

You were going to search our pockets one by one until the watch was found.

However, you told us to close our eyes, because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed.

We did as instructed.

You went from pocket to pocket, and when you went through my pocket, you found the watch and took it.

You kept searching everyone’s pockets, and when you were done you said ‘open your eyes. We have the watch.’

You didn’t tell on me and you never mentioned the episode.

You never said who stole the watch either.

That day you saved my dignity forever.

It was the most shameful day of my life.But this is also the day I decided not to become a thief, a bad person, etc.

You never said anything, nor did you even scold me or take me aside to give me a moral lesson.

I received your message clearly.

Thanks to you, I understood what a real educator needs to do.

Do you remember this episode, professor?

The old professor answered, ‘Yes, I remember the situation with the stolen watch, which I was looking for in everyone’s pocket.

I didn’t remember you, because I also closed my eyes while looking.

’This is the essence of teaching:

If to correct you must humiliate; you don’t know how to teach.”

Brethren, pass this on if you think it is as beautiful as I do.

HOW CAN I BE SAVED?

COME LORD JESUS!

OBAMA’S CHEF – a Trained Swimmer- Dies Paddle Boarding in Martha’s Vineyard Pond – None of the Obamas Were Were Vacationing There

WOW……this sure makes one wonder:

  • Why was he there without the Obamas?
  • How could a trained swimmer drown in a pond?
  • Did he know something and threatened to spill the beans?

From newsweek.com

The death of Tafari Campbell, a Barack Obama employee whose body was recovered near the former president’s home on Martha’s Vineyard on Monday, has sparked a wave of entirely unverified conspiracy theories online.

A number of prominent right-wing accounts, some with hundreds of thousands of followers, have questioned the official version of events. One described Campbell’s death on the Massachusetts island as “strange” and asked “what do you think really happened?

“Obama was dogged by a range of conspiracy theories during his presidency, most prominently the false ‘birther’ claim that he hadn’t been born in the United States, and so was ineligible for office. Obama released his official birth certificate in April 2011, in response to this theory, whose proponents included former President Donald Trump.

The body of 45-year-old Campbell, a White House chef during the Obama administration, was recovered by police divers from Edgartown Great Pond, on the Martha’s Vineyard island, shortly before 10 a.m. on Monday, according to the Massachusetts State Police (MSP).Campbell had been paddleboarding on Sunday when he got into trouble, with police officers called at 7:46 p.m. to reports of a person in distress. Campbell’s body was found about 100 feet from the pond’s edge, at a depth of around 8 feet, according to the MSP. Neither Barack nor Michelle Obama was at the property when the accident took place.

After police officers said that the dead person was Campbell, a number of prominent social-media accounts challenged the authorities’ version of events, without providing any conclusive evidence to the contrary.Ian Miles Cheong is a prominent right-wing social-media activist with nearly 700,000 Twitter followers. He tweeted that it was strange for a trained swimmer to drown in a shallow pond and asked: “What do you think really happened?”

Liz Crokin is a Trump supporter and advocate of the QAnon conspiracy theory that says America is secretly being run by a cabal of satanic child molesters. She asked, “what did he know?” referring to Campbell.

Crokin wrote that the swimmer had been “employed at the White House for Obama’s private party where they flew in $65K worth of hotdogs and pizza and also when Obama’s secret Alice In Wonderland party took place that they managed to keep under wraps for two years.”

This is a reference to a 2009 ‘Alice in Wonderland’ themed event that took place at the White House, featuring Johnny Depp. Some conservatives criticized the event, which they said had been organized in secret. The Obama White House replied that the event was held for military families and wasn’t a secret at all.

The Carrie loves America Twitter account, which has 102,000 followers and a picture of Trump as its headed image, wrote: “Tafari Campbell isn’t the only person who has died inexplicably in Obama’s orbit.

“Did you know that the woman who verified the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate, Loretta Fuddy, was the only person to die in a plane crash in Hawaii in 2013. Everyone else survived,” the Carrie loves America account added. source

Brethren, I don’t know about you, but the death of a trained swimmer in a pond sure is “fishy” to me!

COME LORD JESUS!
