Children influence society in future by using what they have learnt or are taught at a young age and teachers are the critical point that makes a child ready to become a leader of tomorrow. Teachers are the bedrock upon which any quality education is built and they are perhaps the few people in our lives who rejoice when we, their student, outdo them.
They design society, both on a local and global scale, as they have the ability to shape children and build them into positive and inspired future generations. As we celebrate their hard work on Teachers’ Day this September 5, here are 15 inspirational and motivational quotes to share on Facebook status and WhatsApp messages:
