While tidying my study today, I stumbled upon a class register from twenty years ago. As my finger traced over the now-faded names, I could vividly recall each student's posture, handwriting, even a fleeting moment of evasive eye contact. What struck me most were not the naturally gifted ones, but those who, starting out too timid to meet my gaze, eventually learned to stand tall and articulate their thoughts with clarity. The true work of education is often not the score written on an exam, but the quiet composure carved into one's bearing. An interesting observation: those who were most resistant to eye contact at first often persevered the longest in our 'eye contact practice'. The transformation there is far more meaningful than any public praise. #Gaze #Metamorphosis #SilentWitness
