Today I message, 'Behind every exceptional person, there is an exceptional teacher, ' by Stephen Hawking to my teachers,  colleagues and friends via facebook, sms and wechat to wish my teachers for the greatness they had showered in my life. 
       The nation comes together to celebrate the day with loads of gratitude bubbling in the hearts of all people for the proud place in the society all because of their teachers' sacrifce and unwavering dedication.  The social media today is bombarded with messeges of gratitude and wishes towards teachers.  At least for a day every teacher feels honored and their hard works in the task of nation building recognized. 
     And it is also approlriate to celebrate the national teachers' day coinciding with the birth annniversary of our Drukgyal Sumpa Jigme Dorji Wangchuk who is opened the eyes of modern education in our nation.  Because of modern education our country can swim in the sea of fast changes and moreover at individual level one can dream the finest dream he/she likes to dream. Today's developments we see around which our nation has achieved within short period are the manifestation of our modern education steered by selfless teachers.  Thus in our time to rejoice the glory of modern development spurred by modern education we can meditate the farsighted vision our third king had for us. 
     Here in my school, our children put up dances to thank us.  A small gift gifted with true feeling of thankfullness meant a lot for us. We are paid for teaching and thus teaching is our job.  But I have seen a huge difference in teaching with attitude of teaching as  our work and teaching with true love and care for our children.  When we have the attitude that teaching is our jobs our teaching do not go beyond the mandatory obligation we have fulfill.  On the contrary if we teach with children in our mind our work goes round the clock.
