Usually when we hear the phrase, "What a difference a teacher makes," it is a compliment to the instructor's method of teaching. Yet, there are some cases where a teacher fails to recognize and reach for a student's potential. The below link shows a man who felt rejected by his instructor. He never learned to read or write, but recently made millions of dollars from his exceptional talent. A true lesson of perseverance. Please go to the below link for a very short video of this outstanding man. Incredible!

P.S. If you are a teacher, never give up on any student. Against all odds, everyone has an amount of potential. I am so glad God saw not what I was but what I could be.

I am astounded at the ability of this man who was made to feel so small by his teachers as a child. Goes to prove the adage, "If life hands you lemons, make lemonade."
ReplyDeleteI agree with your sentiment about God seeing us for what we could be rather than what we are! Now, I want to go sing that song for a while!
