Quote by Paulo Coelho

What is a teacher? I'll tell you: it isn't someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.

What is a teacher? I'll tell you: it isn't someone who teach

Summary

This quote suggests that a true teacher is not simply someone who imparts knowledge or information to their students. Instead, a teacher is someone who motivates and inspires their students to tap into their own potential, encouraging them to bring out their best abilities and uncover the knowledge that is already within them. Ultimately, a teacher serves as a guide, helping students uncover their innate wisdom and discover their own truths.
