Make glass as a teacher and learn from glass

A glass is a place for drinking in form of a tube made of glass or other materials whose main function is to hold liquids. In every house, shop or other place, we can easily find glasses even though there are not many glasses.

Everyone also knows that function of a glass is a container to hold water or other liquid objects which are then used to put water in mouth and drink it. It makes it easier for us to drink, I think it's easier to drink using a glass than using a bottle.

Not only as a tool to make it easier for us to drink, we as humans can also make glasses as teachers. Can take a lot of lessons from glass. Although inanimate objects, glass can also teach lessons, able to teach. Can make people smart. It depends on how we catch the lessons given by the glass.

But, glasses don't give lessons, they don't transfer their knowledge through words, they don't give school assignments, of course we will be afraid if glasses can talk, hahaha. Glass imparts knowledge through language unlike human speech or writing. Even though we use glass every day, because glass teaches silently and is hidden behind a clear and shiny layer, many of us cannot learn from glass.

I will try to translate lessons given by glass that might be used as advice for our lives, so that we become better people.

First is a glass filled with water, or at least a glass filled with water. And second is an empty glass, there is no content at all.

If we bring a glass full of water, we will definitely be more careful, unlike carrying an empty glass, it will be at will, maybe you carry it while running or maybe even throw it. This is same as when we are dealing with knowledgeable people, they will definitely be more careful when speaking and acting. But, when we face people who are empty and without knowledge, we definitely prefer not to face them.

A glass that is full or even filled, if it is tilted just a little bit, it will definitely drip its contents, giving benefits to others. Unlike an empty glass, rotated or inverted will never drip any liquid.

It's same with people who are full of knowledge, when they speak and act, what comes out is advice and benefit for others. What about people who are empty and lack knowledge? Surely what comes out of his mouth is just a gibberish and there is no benefit.

If you tap a glass of water with a spoon, it will make a slower and denser sound. Very much different from an empty glass if you tap with a spoon, it will definitely make a loud and loud sound.

Likewise, people who have a lot of knowledge will definitely talk less but give more examples and provide many benefits for others. Unlike a person who is empty of knowledge, he will talk more but he does not provide any evidence, as saying "empty barrels make loud noises".

Religion that I profess, obliges its people to be knowledgeable people. In Islam, knowledge is indeed placed in a very important position. My religion obliges to study until the end of life.

Be a full glass, don't be an empty glass. Be a knowledgeable person, so that you can benefit others around you. That's lesson I learned from glass that we often use. Hopefully it can add to your insight!
