A
Teachable Moment
At
the moment, I’m watching and overhearing my son-n-law teach his son, Greyson, how
to use a drill to put on some cabinet knobs.
Grey is eleven. It’s going very
well and they have successfully completed one drawer.
Someone
had to teach Erich, my son-n-law. And he
is passing along this skill. What a
moment in time.
I
had to learn my manners, how to dress and feed myself, as you did too. I also learned drumming, singing, conducting,
writing, my math tables and all those other scholarly skills that go with
getting an education.
All
you need as a learner is a willing and open mind.
Ah,
but as a teacher …
Skill
and knowledge, of course
An
abundance of patience
Proper
tools help
This
dance of teacher/learner has been going on for as long as man has been
around. It started with lessons in how
to make a fire, the wheel, other crude and useful tools. And mankind got better as time went on.
Best
regards as you teach and as you learn.
This is what is
on my mind today.
