balance is important

I just felt deeply touched after reading/listening to this book. Burn out is difficult. I've been working very hard for a while, and there was one time I got a quite serious burnout. Actually it was building up gradually over a period of time, but i just didn't realize it beforehand. I don't remember what was the last straw, it was probably something small, but when it hit, it just felt like everything's purpose-less. Teaching isn't an easy job. You deal with the stress that people aren't aware of. And you still need to burn yourself to help light up others, which i think is probably the most difficult part. No matter how exhausted inside, we bring the best to our audience. take a good care of yourselves, ourselves.

These narratives are more than just anecdotes; they are lifelines thrown to teachers submerged in the often-overwhelming demands of their profession.
