Are there experts in their fields who simply cannot impart their knowledge?
Some people are born Learners, Others are born teachers.
Think of Tiger Woods, He’s world no. 1, but does that mean that he cannot have a mentor to help him better his skills and swing?
Think of Michael Schumacher. He’s also World No. 1 in F1 racing. But he has people teaching him how to drive better.
What does this imply? This implies that even though we have people that creates phenomenal results in their field of expertise but at the same time, unable to impart their knowledge.
On the other end, we have someone who had grasp their knowledge to the intermediate level. But what they are phenomenal at, are imparting this domain knowledge to other people. These people are the great educators.
Ladies and gentlemen, look for such mentors in life. I’ve came across people who are simply great, but hate talking to people and thus lack the ability to teach even if they want to.
I’ve also the luck and the privilege of meeting average joes who can really teach!
Sometimes I wonder whether teaching is a science or an art. In school, there are always those few teachers who can really help students in achieving their goals. Is this their character? Or are they just special? So what do you think, my dear reader friend.
