Learn From Mistakes And Commit To Improve

  “A teachable spirit and a humbleness to admit your ignorance or your mistake will save you a lot of pain. However, if you're a person who knows it all, then you've got a lot of heavy-hearted experiences coming your way.” With the advancement in technology and availability of all kinds of information on the internet the role of teachers have become more challenging.
