LEGACY OF THE GRANDPARENT

 

When one carries the name of his illustrious Grandfather  or Valiappachan  - 'Abraham Sir'  to the uninitiated or to those who haven't heard of him - it throws a challenge.  No one is able to identify you in an ocean of 'Abrahams'.  Someone very close to me once remarked, it's very difficult to be spot on, on whom you are referring to  in a large cluster of Appachans, Appichas and Valiappachans sharing the name 'Abraham', unless you are specific and are pinpointing the one you mean.

Teaching is in your genes. However much you exert to shake it off or extricate yourself from the legacy, whatever has been bequeathed stays put in you.

You are or you can only be the finest teacher around because the original 'Abraham Sir', the efficient and well respected teacher that he had been,  lives in you.

From the moment of conception, you are destined to be what you are.  You are the teacher with exceptional capabilities and knowledge, the teacher who vibes with everyone he interacts with and the teacher who leaves his stamp behind.

When you carry such a legacy, you have no other option but to go ahead, create an impression, teach and lead as you are the successor to the legacy of your grand parent, the great visionary.
