Great Teachers

"There is no such whetstone, to sharpen a good wit and encourage a will to learning, as is praise." ~ Roger Ascham, 1515-68, "The Schoolmaster" (1570) How much do we owe to our great teachers and who can tell how far into the future their influence will be felt? Everyone remembers their favourite teacher throughout their entire lives - that teacher who cared enough to help them to feel confident and effective and in control of their personal goals. Some of the greatest of those teachers leave a legacy that influences generations, present and future, for example, visionaries like Dadi Janki

Human beings can learn to do almost anything if they have a good teacher, including more unusual skills like horse whispering
