Astrological combination for a successful Teacher, Coach, and mentor

Updated: Aug 17, 2021


Of all profession, teaching is the noblest profession. Sharing knowledge is the only thing anyone can do without losing anything, and a teacher does this every day. For example, if you have some amount of money and if you share half of them to another person then you are losing your half. But if you share a piece of knowledge to another person, he/she will also learn from you without you losing the knowledge.Hence it is commonly said that knowledge shared is knowledge doubled.

Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliber, and future of an individual. If the people remember me as a good teacher, that will be the biggest honor for me. - A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
