To Teach Is To Learn Twice - Day 99 of 365

This post is for January 4th, 2011


MEMORY -

Peter loved to teach.  Some of his favorite things he educated people about were travel, business, electronics and life.  I'll never forget all the moments we shared together when I was the student, and he was the teacher.

APPLICATION -

Today, I had a lineup of lessons to teach throughout the evening.  Every time I teach, I learn something new.  Could be something new about my students, something new about myself or something new about my art .... I'm always learning.  Tonight during my lessons, something was mentioned in conversation that sparked a memory of Pete.

 O- how I miss being the student ..... particularly his.  He took hold of your attention like no other, taking you on a journey of new discovery.  He tapped into his "storyteller side" and gave you good information that you were sure to retain for a very long time.  His teaching approach seemed natural and seasoned.  I loved it.  I didn't care what he was showing me, I was always there to listen and learn.

I continued my lesson with a Pete influenced teaching approach ...... it was a total success!

REFLECTION -

They say "To teach is to learn twice" ..... Pete loved to learn as much as he loved to teach.  Now I know why he taught so much.

Sometimes the best information is FREE taught by the BEST teachers around ..... your family.
