The best teachers

The prodigies, the naturals, the geniuses — they’re always breaking new ground and reaching new heights. But it’s rare that one of these is also a good teacher.

The best teachers often aren’t naturals at their craft. The best teachers know what it’s like to not know. They know the struggle of learning when it doesn’t come easy. They know what it’s like to feel lost, to search, and to find a way.

It’s good to know someone who can show us a shortcut. But when we’re learning, sometimes it’s best to find someone who got there the long way.
