I remember the day I decided to be a teacher.I had been studying languages for my interpreter certificate without thinking of my teaching somebody.Besides, both parents are teachers,I didn't want to be like them-always tired from their work with the only desire-to get asleep earlier and wake up later the next day.

It happened spontaneously when I decided to try myself as a teacher.I wondered how far I went in my teaching!I felt I was at the top of the class standing in front of a huge audience and telling them something non-stop!They were listening to me let alone my age-I was only 22,they were 1st year university students!I felt such joy and happiness that wanted to repeat such experiment the next day!Surely,I came home totally broken after 4double periods of teaching different students with different abilities.I wanted to reach my bed as quickly as possible,but I felt happy because I did find what I hadn't even expected!I found myself happy because I did find MYSELF!

You must understand that their coming to YOU,and their accomplishing YOUR assignments depends mostly upon your attitude towards them and your personal x-factor -your inner attractiveness and an ability to hold their attention as long as you can! It's you who is standing in front of them,explaining,praising,joking,laughing.Because you are the same human-being with them!You can make mistakes,you can ask THEM to help you if you do not understand something.The only thing you don't have to do is having no fear they will laugh at your illiteracy in computing or something else.

You have to be yourself! The way you treat yourself will make them treat you! They will teach you how to like life with all its possible maneurs,and you will teach them not only your subject but the life the way YOU understand it! Only this interpersonal correlation will make both sides happier!

I believe that it is impossible to like a job if you treat it wrong.Only if you change your attitude towards it ,it will work for you!I am sure there is no dull and unneccessary job.It is only YOUR wrong acception of it!It is YOU who is dull!Such lazy bones never achieve anything in their life.They are always complaining about their bosses who "never understand,who never notice".They want others to feel compassion to them because "they are
