Wow, Marty--isn't that the truth. This one is just so simply profound, it says it all.
ReplyDeleteNice to be back and catching up on your wonderful aphorisms. Vacation was great--but it's also nice to have time to catch up with my friends. I hope you are well.

Very true. Good teachers often say they learn from their students — I find it an elegant statement.
ReplyDeleteLearning happens with both teachers and students if it's done well!
ReplyDeleteNice blogspot, shame about all the angles.
ReplyDeleteYou could not be more wrong in both camps.
ReplyDeleteYour arguments are based on the obtuse.
Your followers believe they are acute.
Quite frankly my friend you are shamed by the angles.
Does help if someone warns you when it comes to anything fatal though... some lessons best learnt than taught or is that just natural selection?
ReplyDeleteLearning is a two-way process that is facilitated by a skilled teacher. Unfortunately, many teachers don't understand this and merely stand in front of a class effectively preaching, unaware or unconcerned whether what is being taught is also being learned.
ReplyDeleteTeachers learn what our students teach us.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true Marty. In fact we never stop learning - everyday and every experience brings us new lessons to learn and new challenges to overcome. This world is one big university campus we live in. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is very true, and it's a perfect explanation to why we all have to learn from our own mistakes.
ReplyDeleteVery true.
ReplyDeleteIf a lesson is not learned it is not taught..
ReplyDeleteAgain you state a simple truth in the fewest words.
Thank you
