Effort is a voluntary exertion of physical or mental energy, a normally earnest attempt or achievement while a force in Physics is something that changes the state of rest or the body in motion, to compel to do something or to act. These two words have different spelling and meaning but both have a connection in teaching.
In education, a teacher play a vital role in determining and evaluating learners progress. He has a great influence on how the learner would turned out in the future. As a result like a doctor his profession is more difficult because of its life -long effect. Whatever teachings have been imparted to the pupils or learners it will be carried on wherever they go or whatever they do. So the teacher must follow what each letter of the word stands for.
T- each with a golden heart
You are a teacher not because of your salary but with your profession. No matter how hard it is do the best that you can do to serve the school well. A little of sacrifice is of big help for the learners.

Be a good listener. Listen to their opinion and let them be a part in the decision making. Make them feel that they are always important.

Truly teaching is an effort and a driving force to mold every learner to become a better and mature individual in the future.
