☀️ [Daytime note] Why not become a working professional teacher? "The self you discover by teaching"

You might already be a "teacher" yourself

The work you do as a matter of course today,
might actually be a "lesson" for someone else.

What is "obvious" to a working professional is "amazing" to someone in the future.
Doesn't that make you feel a little passionate when you think about it?

What is a "working professional teacher"?

Have you ever heard the term "working professional teacher"?

This is not limited to school teachers.
You, who gave advice to a junior colleague.
You, who talked about life to your children.
You, who stood by a subordinate's worries.

--Every single one of those moments is the very image of a teacher.

A working professional's "experience" becomes teaching material

I worked as a news reporter and now teach Japanese at a high school.
Standing in the classroom every day, I think,
"A working professional's experience is the best teaching material."

You don't need major achievements or qualifications.
Just put your experience into words and hand it to someone.
That alone makes you a fine "working professional teacher."

Real "teachers" who actually existed

For example--
・A "communicating teacher" who can laugh while talking about failures
・An "HR teacher" who spoke while holding back tears at the entrance ceremony
・A "father teacher" who reads books to his children
・A "nursing teacher" who conveys the weight of life through their actions
・A "re-learning teacher" who started writing about their experiences on note

Every one of these teachers was pushing someone forward with their words.
That figure is unmistakably a "working professional teacher."

And you are one of them too

You are also a teacher.

Even if you haven't been introduced,
even if your name isn't in this article,
you, who spoke to someone today, are already a teacher.

You might think, "I didn't mean to."
But the other person might have been saved by your words.
They might have gained the courage to take a step forward.
That one word is proof of "you as a teacher."

The words of teachers who shine on note

What I am introducing here are five "teachers" I met on note.

1. Teinen no Otchan-nel (Retirement Old Guy Channel) Teacher
"Part 1: What is the essence of the problem?"

2. Positive Life Supporter Teacher
"Habits that spark motivation: Just by noting down 'moments of excitement,' your life starts moving!"

3. Self-Development Sommelier: A teacher who moves people with words
"[Self-development poem] Carrying a blank schedule"

4. SONAEAREBA Teacher
"Survive on your own for 3 days after a disaster! The truth about 72 hours without relief supplies"

5. Kaoru Wakabayashi / Painting Instructor Teacher
"Connecting yesterday and today to tomorrow (10) Picture books for adults (4)"

Your words, too, surely remain

Even if they aren't flashy words,
Even if you don't have a special title,
there are moments when a single word can encourage someone.

A single word spoken to a junior colleague.
A story of your own failure told to a child.
Advice based on experience shared with a coworker.

All of these are 'teacher's words'.

To you, who hasn't been introduced yet

In this note, I will continue to introduce such 'working professional teachers'.

But, in truth—
It is 'you', who hasn't been introduced yet, who is surely a teacher that will remain in someone's life.

Your experience will change someone's future.

You are the teacher.

Afterword

Thank you for reading this far.
I am sure you, too, are someone who has supported others with your words.

If these words today have left even a small impression on your heart,
I would be happy if we could exchange words here again.

Your experience and words
are encouraging someone today as well.
