How to find a good teacher - It’s not what you think

[jennifer_bloom]

The bible says a man’s heart reflects the man, and a teacher is dependent on his student, for his lessons to be transmitted and understood, otherwise he cannot out them into action. While Jesus died on the cross and was a great teacher, many claim to follow Him and live lives that do not reflect his ideals, because they may have the best teacher in the world, but they are not the best students.

So, the key to finding a good teacher is to be a good student. This week, I purchased a lavendaire manual on goal setting through the lavendaire website and I realized, I had gotten a lot out of the work book, because I had agreed before hand that I would put into practice the things they taught me. The best business school in the world, will not help somebody with no interest or running or owning a business. But a business owner will find many benefits to going to business school and learning from the best.

Until you put into practice what you know, you are just liking your burger instead of actually eating it, and that will leave you hungry and I satisfied later, even though in the short term, you might receive the same taste benefits as those who are actually chewing and digesting the burger, so it takes effort and a willingness to reflect and change your behaviour to benefit from teachers.

I once read a Jewish article about how thieves can teach you moral lessons too, such as their ability to pay attention to detail, or their modesty and willing to be anonymous, so really, it’s not just about finding a good teacher, it’s also about having the mental and emotional capacity to learn from others, and that is something you can only teach yourself.

My Sensei says It's not what you know but what your willing to do. I think that really fits with the Bible teachings.

Both teacher and student need to be sincere

The reason why I like gag so much is I look at everybody as an individual they are a teacher or a guide. Or there are also people that project their words and to be totally honest it's somebody I don't want to be like when we answer questions when we ask questions there's a reason for it there's always going to be a message in the most craziest words but it's up to us to listen and to pay attention to get that message. And then you have the people on here that kind of want to distract you from getting that message so they become buttheads and then try to take your moment in time to a different direction because they don't want you to receive that message it wants you to be as miserable as they are. No matter what answer you get our question you asked there's a reason behind it is what helps us grow its sweat helps us make the choice of who we want to be. It's how we react when we our challenge with something that somebody said that we don't like everybody here is here for a reason everybody here that has been here for this long there is a reason there's a reason that we all know each other but we don't know each other and maybe we would like to Somewhere in Time we will understand why and maybe one day maybe not on this planet or maybe on this planet is different dimension we can all kick back and laugh and say remember when you sent this but yes I pay attention to everything you write everything you answer because I like your Insight you are a teacher and you are a guide

This is 100% true. And the best way to fully learn something is to teach it to others and understand their perspective.
