People teach better lessons than books
For they have lived through life's ups and downs
They've faced the challenges and had to look
For ways to rise above the world's frowns

People can share their experiences
Their stories can touch the heart and the soul
They can inspire and show us the traces
Of the lessons they've learned on their own goal

Books can teach us facts and theories
But only people can teach empathy
They can help us see life's mysteries
And teach us to love unconditionally

Parents are the first teachers we have
Their love and guidance shape our beginnings
They teach us how to talk, walk and behave
And help us grow without any endings

Teachers are the second parents we meet
They guide us through the halls of knowledge
They motivate and push us to compete
And prepare us for life on a larger stage

Friends are the third teachers we have
They teach us the value of companionship
They share their joys, sorrows and laughs
And teach us to cherish each relationship

Lovers are the fourth teachers we find
They teach us the meaning of intimacy
They ignite our passion and renew our minds
And teach us to trust with sincerity

Mentors are the fifth teachers we seek
They guide us through our career goals
They share their expertise and technique
And teach us to soar with the right roles

Leaders are the sixth teachers we follow
They show us how to lead with integrity
They inspire our dreams and make us grow
And teach us to serve with humility

The greatest teachers of all are those
Who have walked through the fire of life
Who have faced the highs and lows
And have emerged with wisdom and insight

They teach us to believe in ourselves
To hope for a better tomorrow
To love and forgive without any else
And to embrace life with joy and sorrow

So let us honor the greatest teachers
The people who've touched our lives with care
Let us pass on their lessons and features
And teach others to live a life that's rare.

For people teach better lessons than books
Their stories inspire, motivate and heal
Their love and wisdom are all it takes
To teach us to live life with zeal.
