Mahabharata is the best book that explains 'history' and greatness of the Indian Subcontinent, it's people, culture and what not.
The Indian saga has narrations that could still be a reference for all our lives, even today although the original story line backdates several thousand years beyond captured and recorded human evolution.
Drona was the Royal Guru or Teacher who taught the Princes' the archery and warfare. Arjuna was his favorite amongst all.
Arjuna desired to be the best Archer in history, and to be the best in history requires that he surpass the abilities of his own Guru, Drona the Aacharya.
Realizing this too well, Drona still went ahead to help his disciple Arjuna to surpass him and be renowned as the best Archer.
In the present education system, how many in the profession of a teacher or a professor is willing to help a student to surpass them? Forget about helping the student, we all know the class room is a group of students where an average can be arrived and the group has few above average performers. Also, there are the exceptional ones who outperform even the teacher at comparatively much younger age.
Many teachers fail to take it positively and begin to diffuse a negative energy among the exceptional students. No wonder, brilliants like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates might choose to drop out and learn by themselves and pursue their passion and go on to make the world a better place.
Are you a Drona!? Would you let an Arjuna surpass you!?
Love,
