"Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent."
Sophia Loren

Some people believe that they were born to be teachers, while others go to school to learn how to be teachers. This belief is obvious in the way a teacher conducts herself/ himself. Going to work everyday to impress upon young minds that knowledge is paramount can be physically and mentally draining. To wake up the next day with the same drive and commitment is indicative of a teacher born to teach. A teacher who was taught to teach may face the same strains, but with the likelihood of a burnout. Then again there are those teachers who were taught to never give up,or to never admit failure. These teachers exemplify success in purest of forms: a student's smile because they understand.
