COMPLEMENT vs COMPETE

As teachers it's very important that we complement each other and not compete with each other. It's good to step back and see the BIG picture that we all are a part of and appreciate the TOTAL VALUE of the picture.

It's like a puzzle where each piece is unique and shaped differently. Individually, each piece doesn't make sense or add value or look beautiful.

However, once you carefully assemble all the pieces together, the ESSENCE shows, and the real beauty shines through.

In this analogy, each of us teachers are the individual pieces. Each teacher is unique and adds a different kind of value. Just like the uniqueness of identical twins, no two teachers offer exactly the same kind of value even though they are in the same field of endeavour.

Did you know that, the creator of this forum or group or channel where you're reading this post on, has a unique offering that you won't find elsewhere? Just scroll down the posts or go through other posts made on this channel after reading this and you will find a CORE MESSAGE they are dishing out.

 Of course behind the message is the value that YOU, the teacher receive on a daily basis.

Finally, the picture, in all it's beauty is the complete teacher who is probably a member of all these groups and follows all these social media channels dishing out different content that edifies the COMPLETE TEACHER!
On it's own, one group or channel cannot give you everything, because one teacher cannot give you everything. That's why you consume all the content and attend the different trainings advertised on this group or channel.
Now the COMPLETE TEACHER can now REPLICATE THEMSELVES in a RANK XEROX STYLED OPERATION CALLED TEACHING... THIS WILL PRODUCE LOVELY COPIES OF THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURE WE STARTED WITH IN THE CHILDREN WE TEACH!

PS: After putting the puzzle pieces together, you'll observe that there are still SPACES craving to be filled...who knows if YOU are the teacher with the missing piece needed to fill that SPACE?
We are waiting for you...nay...THE WHOLE WORLD IS WAITING FOR YOU...EARNESTLY!
