Teacher's Day 2015 (Nepal)
This Doodle’s Key Themes
“A true teacher is one who, keeping the past alive, is also able to understand the present” –Confucius
Teachers are our mentors, friends, and catalysts. They’re the wild, eager sparks that can, with a word, set our passions ablaze. Not quite parents, they nevertheless raise us to be the very best versions of ourselves. And their impressions last lifetimes, as the lessons we’ve learned are passed down to others, like inheritances of wisdom. Today, let’s celebrate teachers, one of the noblest and most selfless of callings all across the world.
Happy Teacher’s Day!
