TEACHER=ARTIST

Someone dedicated this to me. This someone was once a student in SMTM (sad to say, not my ex-student!!) and presently holding a high post with Sime Darby in Jakarta.I am honoured to receive such a dedication.

"I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are so few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit." John Steinbeck -1902-1968, Writer and Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

john steinback really does know how to appreciate teachers, and he is the proof that his teachers had educated him well. and you, Mak, can stand proud now, that most of your students are actually humans, even if they're not engineers or doctors :)

Many of these ex students of mine now have jobs with much better pay than their teacher. I am happy that I have made a small contribution in their lives.
