A teacher must always be a moral role model for his students, he must chaperone and lead them in good, and never leave them on their own in evil, and in order to be a leader of men, one must respect and love others (followers), he must be righteous and he must perseveringly care and invest every possible human effort into building his community. True teachers of their communities always serve other people, they place wellbeing of others before their own, striving to contribute to the common good. The profession of a teacher is a presupposition and a necessary basis for any other profession, because members of all, particularly socially most important professions, first gain foundations, ethical virtues and work capacities in the lowest, basic steps of education. People who do not understand the essence and the secret of life believe that one can be a genuine doctor, statesman, priest, judge and soldier even without elementary and primary knowledge, that knowledge and spiritual vertical can be upgraded without firm intellectual basis and good foundation of culture. Such a growth and development simply contradicts the very nature of life.
