A River Cuts Through Rock—Not Because of Power, But Persistence

In nature, a river shapes the landscape not with sudden force, but through steady, relentless persistence. Over time, it
carves valleys, moves mountains of sediment, and changes the terrain. Education works the same way.
Students don’t always grasp concepts immediately, develop skills overnight, or show progress in predictable ways. But
consistent effort—daily teaching, consistent encouragement, and patient guidance—has the power to transform
learning. Persistence matters more than a single brilliant lesson or a moment of inspiration. It’s the small, repeated
actions that produce lasting results.
Teachers, like rivers, shape the minds and hearts of their students through steady presence. Checking for
understanding, reinforcing concepts, celebrating small victories, and revisiting challenging material again and again
gradually build knowledge, confidence, and character. Over time, what once seemed impossible becomes natural, and
what once seemed distant becomes achievable.
The lesson is clear: in education, power alone doesn’t change outcomes, but persistence does. Every day, every lesson,
every moment invested matters. Like a river cutting through rock, the consistent, patient effort of educators leaves a
lasting impact that shapes students for a lifetime.
It’s a great day to be a Tiger!
