Time

Who was your most influential teacher? Why?

I have had many a teachers, in school and in life. Each adding a subtle trace and influence to who I am today. Each one significant in their role however minute has shaped my personality and my Outlook towards life. I have utmost honour and respect towards them.

However, as life passes I have learnt lessons that have left permanent impressions on me. My mistakes, achievements and the way I have dealt or not dealt with situations has made me realise that actions and words once done cannot be redone and moments once passed cannot be relived.

Hence, I consider time to be my most influential teacher, without whose learnings I would not be the person I am, without it ticking I would not know its limited nature and without it’s stern methodology I would not honour it’s existence. It is time that has taught me to be sensitive to others, think before acting and be actively involved in every passing moment.

It has taught me that brooding on the past and future is useless unless I live in the present and work towards my goal relentlessly without wasting any instances, because you never know when your time will be up and it will be a final adieu to all your dreams , possessions and relationships.
