Quite a few years ago now, I had one teacher who made a great impression on me.

That man got it through my thick skull that one should TEACH IN ORDER TO LEARN.

Things that I could do intuitively, he made me have to put them into words and instruct others.

One time, he told me that the ability to EXPOUND freely on a subject requires us to really know and understand the subject.

He used to have his Graduate Students explain rather complex phenomena in laymen's terms - to the janitor. And he told them that unless the janitor grasped the concept when they were done explaining, they didn't know the subject well enough yet.

That, and he also taught me what the word, "love" can really mean in the sense that he was always telling us that one has to LOVE THE STUDENT and nurture.

That old bromide that "those who don't know, teach" only refers to the number of bad teachers in this world, man.

Whatever thing(s) you know, be prepared to "pass it on" for YOU will be the true benefactor from doing that.
