Mission or Job?
If you are doing it only because you are paid for it, it’s a job;
If you are doing it not only for the pay but also for service, it’s a mission.

If you quit because your boss or colleague criticized you, it’s a job;
If you keep on teaching out of love, it’s a mission.

If you teach because it does not interfere with your other activities, it’s a job;
If you are committed to teaching even if it means letting go of other activities, it’s a mission.

If you quit because no one praises or thank you for what you do, it’s a job;
If you remain teaching even though nobody recognizes your efforts, it’s a mission.

It’s hard to get excited about a teaching job;


Its almost impossible not to get excited about a mission.

If our concern is success, it’s a job.


If our concern is success plus faithfulness, it’s a mission.

An average school is filled by teachers doing their teaching job;


A great school is filled with teachers involved in the mission of teaching.

Teaching and a Life of Meaning

Teaching may not be a lucrative position.


It cannot guarantee financial security.
It even means investing your personal time, energy, and resources.
Sometimes it means disappointments, heartaches, and pains.
But touching the hearts of people and opening the minds of children
can give you joy and contentment which money could not buy.
These are the moments I teach for.
There are the moments I live for.
