If you can read this...thank a TEACHER

A guy from another org once came to me and asked what Institute I came from. When I told him that I was from the Institute of Eucation, he frowned and said that he was disappointed because I'll end up becoming ONLY a TEACHER. I frowned back and didn't say anything for a moment. Then I took a peice of paper and a pen and then I wrote the word 'APPLE'.
I then said:
"Please read the word on this paper." He looked baffled for a moment and then responded:
"APPLE." I smiled and then said:
"You can read it clearly right?"
"Yes." He answered raising a brow.
I put down the sheet of paper and then looked him in the eye and said:
"If you can read this... THANK A TEACHER."
he looked at men puzzled and I proceeded: "You can make money, reputation, fame... and get everything that you want. But you can never make what we make and do what we do...That is to make a DIFFERENCE."
