The profession of a teacher also has strong influence on one’s character. Communicating with children, striving to understand their inner world, to enter it, often leads to a change in teacher’s outlook. Some teachers obtain the habit to instruct, to make moralizing conclusions. Even the manner of speech changes: it becomes more measured, more didactic. If we consider it all, we can distinguish two types of old teachers: Some have the priority to suggest, the others –to take care. Accordingly the first types of teachers have stern and implacable character, whereas it is pleasant to deal with the second type, as they are easy to communicate with.
Those who have chosen exact science are considered to be people without any emotions and boring. But they don’t agree with this and try to break the stereotype. When confronting between physicists and poets, the publication ”The physicists are joking” was very popular, which proved that the representatives of technical professions, except the seriousness and punctuality, had sense of humor.
Indeed, working with exact instruments and mechanisms, does not contribute to the development of excessive severity, but forms a lot of positive qualities. First of all, we speak about rational approach to everything, including everyday problems. Such people consider a specific situation, as a special law case, they are able to look at the process from the outer side. They always calculate the consequences of different events; predict the actions of those who are surrounding them. Therefore in ordinary life one can get sensible advice from a technician/engineer. A negative feature for a physicist sometimes becomes an excessive pedantry, but more often it just the opposite: scientists are generally absent-minded. Getting accustomed to operating with general categories, they, as a rule, are not attentive to details.
