Nature, the best teacher

Of all the teachers who have helped shape my life, I would say Mother Nature has been the best. For not only does she like a mother nurture her pupils but also like a strict disciplinarian punishes students who step out of line.

A student of nature learns lessons throughout his lifetime. He learns about the world around him as nature’s classrooms have no boundaries or timeframe. Nature has been the inspiration for some of the greatest human creation, be it ‘Daffodils’ by William Wordsworth or kung fu moves by the Shaolin monks. Nature has different lessons for different people.

 The trees teach us to provide cover to the weak and tired. They also teach us not to be rigid in the face of strong opposition and like plants be adaptable. The animal kingdom teaches us about when to strike, always be on the alert and many such lessons.
