Gurudev, there are many qualities of an ideal teacher. Could you tell me three main qualities I should focus on and develop while I am here doing my Yoga Teacher's Training Program?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Well, a teacher keeps a smile and has patience and perseverance. Smile not only when compliments are given, but when you are criticized then also have the ability to keep a smile. Unjust criticism should also be taken with a smile. Then you are a good teacher!
