in the field and even become better than him/her, turning no
one down from his/her circle, always keeping in mind that the

behaving towards them humbly and not being swayed by the
ambition of making more money and without ever forgetting
his/her teaching responsibility. After all, the title of teacher is
not given by the one who is taught to the one who teaches, but
is a type of eminent rank conferred by a third party (3).
