ATTRACTION

Dictionary meaning of attraction is something like this:
“An invisible power in a body by which it draws anything to itself; the power in nature acting mutually between bodies or ultimate particles, tending to draw them together, or to produce their cohesion or combination, and conversely resisting separation. “

And it certainly is, attraction is something that draws us in to it and it is something really really important to live a life better, happily and satisfactorily.

Attraction is extremely important. Most of us limit the meaning only to the fact that attraction can be only between two human beings. And most of the times we do under value the need for it. There can be attraction of money, power, love, lust, beauty, friendship, food, family, clothes and the list goes on and on and on. we earn or work because money is the attraction. Remove pay checks and you will not feel attracted towards your job. In marital life too, when you lose attraction for each other your marriage life is dead. Attraction works as a fuel to keep us going. It makes our monotonous life more interesting and bright.

But getting someone or something attracted towards you is really a very challenging job and so is remaining attracted to someone or something is difficult. For instance we all dress up early in the morning to look our best and by doing so we are definitely attracting others towards us and doing this daily is a real challenge. As a teacher I have to strive very hard to make my class extremely interesting so that students are attracted towards what I teach them, one moment they lose the concentration is because they are not attached or attracted towards the subject or the way the subject is being taught.

Teaching indeed is an art. As a student I had been fortunate enough to have got some truly great teachers, who would come down to the level of kids and try to put things in a way, that was easy to grasp and take in.

Towards the end of my college life, I missed it pretty badly in my Professors, who even though had exceptional knowledge in their respective fields, they couldn't get down to our level of understanding.

Hope you turn out to be a good teacher and inspire your students, as the way some of my teachers have done to me.

All the best... :)

getting something is easy but maintaining is very hard :). Attraction is something we can't resist but then attraction should always remain separated from Addiction. Sorry for going off track in this comment :)
