When you choose to be a teacher, you choose to make life easier for others. However, this journey begins with you. You must first learn and know the truth not just facts about a subject, but the fundamental truths about life itself. Only by understanding reality as it is, rather than how things appear or are commonly perceived, can you guide others effectively.
But here lies the challenge: How can you desire to teach the truth if you haven’t discovered it for yourself? This is the key. A teacher must first seek the truth, embrace it, and live it before sharing it with others.
The digital age has given rise to countless content creators, many of whom have taken on the role of teachers whether in business, health, motivation, personal finance, or even morality. With just a camera and an internet connection, anyone can teach the world. But should everyone teach?
Teaching is not about merely having a voice; it is about knowing the truth and conveying it responsibly. Social media makes it easy to appear knowledgeable, but appearing knowledgeable is not the same as being knowledgeable. Some people teach not because they have mastered a subject, but because they have mastered confidence in front of a camera. Others share information not because they have understood it, but because they know how to package it attractively.
But a true teacher is different. A true teacher does not just speak, they illuminate. They do not just inform, they clarify. They do not just attract attention, they transform minds.
For a teacher to be effective, they must be simple. Simplicity in teaching comes from genuine understanding. A good teacher does not complicate knowledge but rather makes it accessible and clear. They simplify concepts for themselves first, allowing them to communicate in a way that resonates with others.
Most successful and impactful teachers do not begin by saying, “Let me teach you something.” Instead, their insights naturally extend beyond their platforms. They see beyond the surface of their subjects, understanding them at a deeper level, beyond what the average person perceives. This depth allows them to simplify knowledge, making it easier for others to grasp.
To those who aspire to teach on social media, the call is clear; Do not be deceived by views and likes. Popularity is not wisdom, and engagement is not enlightenment. Teaching is a responsibility, not just a trend. Before you educate others, educate yourself. Before you influence minds, refine your own.
To be real, you must strip away biases, pleasures, and justifications that cloud your perception. When you remove these distractions, you will begin to see life clearly. Learning is not just about acquiring knowledge but about unlearning illusions and distortions. At the end of this journey, you will not just be a teacher, you will be a real person. And once you become real, you will live with clarity. You will learn the value of apology, understand the importance of not causing harm, and navigate life with wisdom. Though challenges may come your way, they will not shake you because you stand on the firm foundation of truth. To all those who wish to teach, whether in classrooms, on social media, or in daily life, understand this: Teaching is not a right. It is a responsibility.
