Ang mga ilaw na hindi pwedeng mapundi (The lights that must not burn out)

We cannot teach or demand excellence from others (in my context, demanding excellence from my students) without discussing responsibilities. In a way, staying mediocre is more convenient because it means less responsibilities. It’s also less risk in terms of avoiding burning out.

The challenge is that we cannot let our students burn out too. Sila ang mga ilaw na hindi pwedeng mapundi. People are not lightbulbs or candles that can be disposed and replaced.

How can we demand excellence without leading to burnout?

Matthew 5:13-16. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house.
