"We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own."

Educators are expected to guide and be good adviser to our students. You cannot expect people to believe in what you teach if you yourself don't believe in what you do. Everything must come from within and you'll just be surprised to see that everything will fall in the right place, and as you go along, let your brightness light others path towards greatness.
That is so true Mark, I guess it's the same thing as "Teach what you practice". We can't teach others and not follow what we teach. We have to believe in what we teach so that we can be great examples to others. And when people see our light shinning so bright they do want to follow in the same path.

In addition to believing in what they are doing, most teachers have passion both for the subject that they're teaching and for the students. These teachers are positively inspiring, making teaching career a very rewarding profession.
