Excellence Becomes Humility

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miniaturk_009.jpg Topic: 36 permalink
Visits: 2,479 If you lack everything else and you have time for a one-liner only to evaluate a person, remember that you can tell a good programmer, a good teacher, or a good person by this alone: s/he will never correct you. S/he helps you. S/he will never make you feel stupid.  
 
They are beyond, because they never quit staying behind. That is, they never forget when they were the ones who could not understand; walking in a jungle of teachings most of the times written by persons who hadn't to fight their own way in that jungle because they were taught and so produced teachings redundant with lessons not understood and questions not only unanswered but simply never even asked, they fought their own way to understanding by their own hands and means. So they thought of questions no one else thought before, and in the throes of this process their intellect grew different.  
 
So different, that they can exhibit a level of such deep an empathy with a learner, that no other teacher may ever either attain or comprehend. These are persons who, when they explain, do not complain and do not correct: they glide down to your level, on the hands of the angels of their past errors that guide them to fit the learner, and start a relationship with the learner that every professor would scorn: they are companions, brothers in arms - never professors, never saps and plodders, never hair-counters. You will never find them on newsgroups lecturing you.  
 
No good person teaches; or, better, no decent person does it by sermons, but by living examples. They don't place burdens on the shoulders of the others that they themselves would not lift with one finger.  
 
If you want a child to study, shut up, say nothing, forget reprimands: if you want a child to study, just show yourself studying.
