Igniting the flames of our passion in teaching is one way of boosting ourselves to make a difference in our day to day teaching.

Teacher islike acomputer thatneed to shift to a safe mode whenever its operation cracked down and collapsed.  This is temporarily done to secure the necessary drivers needed to protect   the wholesystem of its operating system.That is why upgrading is needed to maintain its functional capability.  This is also happened in our teaching.  The time when the flames of our passion in teaching start to fade and turn unto boring and routine one. Of course, we need to makean action on this.

 As a passionate teacher, we need to always charge ourselves from our day to day teaching. We need to always upgrade ourselves with the new innovations necessary for the improvement of our teaching,so with the knowledge and skills necessary to make our teaching a comprehensive one. So exhausting as we can think, but we need to do it for the sake of our passion in teaching. To rekindle our passion in teaching, we need to ignite our own fire. Do not expect anyone to light the flame for you but rather try to find your own source for the flame.  This could be done by opening your heart in teaching through giving yourself to your students.  Really,  teaching is an art of loving because the more you love your students, the more you are igniting the flames of your passion in teaching!
