Mangaluru: Advising the parents to give freedom to children for asking questions, counselor and human mindset coach Mahesh Masal urged people to not be upset if their kids ask questions out of curiosity.

He was speaking at the teachers’ conference at the Educational Conference organized by the Dakshina Kannada and Udupi Districts Muslim Educational Institutions Federation at the Town Hall on Monday.

“Nature teaches beautiful lessons to us. It plays the role of a teacher. But we tend to keep ignoring it and we keep repeating our mistakes.” He said.

“Our life should not be so. Instead, we must change ourselves to reach a state of perpetual consciousness.” He added.

Comparing teachers to fire, Masal advised, “They should be used appropriately, for the benefit of not just students but the entire society. Instead, if we use them in a wrong manner, it might lead to our destruction.”

He also pointed out, “Teachers are always under the watchful eyes of their students, who also try to imitate their teachers. Teachers should, therefore, understand the level of their responsibilities.”

Umar Teekay, Honorary President of MEIF and Chairman of Teekays Group, presided over the educational conference.

Member of MEIF working committee Nisar Fakir Ahmed introduced the resource person.
