Something to consider….
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
The best teachers, teach from the heart, not from the book.
The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called “truth”.
In teaching you cannot see the fruit of a days work. It is invisible, and remains so, maybe for twenty years.
Good teachers are costly, but bad teachers cost more.
Teachers who inspire realise there will always be rocks in the road ahead of us.
They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how we use them.
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
