The peace of mind one receives after giving,
Can never be compared with what one receives after taking.
As kids all of us have played games that now seem silly enough to laugh at. My sister and I were fond of playing "Teacher Teacher"; she always was the teacher and I sat through her class as a dumb student. Years passed and we grew up forgetting our childish plays. It was not until a month back that I realized that my teacher, my sister was inclined towards teaching an underprivileged student who had no money to pay her, all that her student has for my sister is awe and respect.
Last night, I asked my sister "How is the experience of teaching a real student?" She told me that it is feeling that contents her, that makes her worth of the love her student showers on her, it defines the true meaning of being educated. Though, she added that she isn't the most patient of teachers, yet she enjoys teaching a lot. The smile and shine in her eyes were symbols of satisfaction she feels in giving what she possesses.
