In a school, there were two teachers. One of them was Mr. Ken and another one was Mr. David. Ken was an English teacher and David was a math teacher. Both of them have very good knowledge of their subjects. also, they were very good at teaching but their way of managing students is completely different.
Ken never shouts at students on their mistakes but David shouts at students. This behavior of David is a very common thing in strict teachers but David thinks that he is a teacher and only students are responsible for giving respect to him.
A few days later Teacher's Day arrived. And all the teachers were very excited because there was a teacher's day celebration in school. After the end of the celebration, all the students started giving gifts to their favorite teachers. Ken and all the other teachers got many gifts but David was still standing with empty hands. After the school gets over all the teachers gathered in the teacher's room. All the teachers were opening their gifts but David was just looking at them. David was very sad because he has not been received any gifts. And was sitting different from all the other teachers. Because they were discussing their gifts.
After some time, Ken noticed David that was sitting alone and sad. He asked David what happened, friend. David just said 'nothing' with moist eyes. Ken understood what happened to David because David was sitting empty hand. And was looking at other teachers talking about their gifts. David was not sad for no gifts but he was sad for no love and respect from students. Then Ken said two lines to David that :
Friend RESPECT is just like knowledge and happiness,
It will grow when you give it to others.
David took these lines seriously and started thinking about them. Next day in the school. The first bell has gone and the school started. David entered into class and all the students wished him good morning. After that David said to students 'I will not teach you today. Anyone of you will teach me and other students. So, who will teach first?'. But no student reply because they were afraid of David. So David laughed and said 'don't worry! I will not shout at anyone for the mistake. Each mistake teaches us something.' Now some students raised hands and one of them was called by David and the student started teaching a topic that was discussed earlier in previous classes. And one by one some students have explained different topics.
The day was very different for students with a new David. After that day David shouts only at big mistakes. He started giving respect to the students. As time passed David become one of the favorite teachers of the student. David becomes satisfied and happy with the students.
