To those who teach(and we all teach:parents, neighbors, siblings etc). What lesson is the most important?

Answer 1

Sometimes questions like this make me feel that there ought to be a standard "right" answer and I should know exactly what it is. But instead I just have ideas and thoughts that are hard to express.
While I was out walking I remembered this quote that I like:
"Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire."
What I see as most important is not so much a lesson that can be taught, but an attitude that can be passed on. My own life has been shaped by individuals who lived with passion.
We do have to teach the basics of education in the early years, and some facts must be memorized, but the goal in teaching formally is to teach students to teach themselves. We can do that and still be very dull about it. Or we can kindle a fire. My third grade teacher made learning fun. I don't remember how exactly, I just remember how much she laughed and how she would sit on the bench at recess and read to us. She read "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and she read it in such a way that I was there, with Charlie, opening those wrappers, finding that ticket, tasting the chocolate. She lit a fire that blazed into a passion for good books and stories and ultimately led to my becoming a teacher.
Many of my best teachers were not formally "teachers" at all. My grandfather was a simple farmer. He taught me to love and find joy in the simplest things. All of life was precious to him and he had a passion for the land he farmed and the livestock he cared for. He worked hard but with joy. Holding a newborn chick, jumping in a fresh hay stack, digging potatoes, hauling a wheelbarrow full of watermelons from the melon patch and then cutting one open and tasting the sweetness, feeling the tug of a catfish on the end of your fishing line....my "old" Papa lived these things with the same zest that I felt as a child. And the simple things in life still amaze and thrill me.
Two weeks ago I went whitewater rafting. It was gloriously fun but an added treat was the guide, Mike. He has a passion for rivers. He loves the sheer power of the water. We came through one rapid and Mike was able to direct us so that our raft was right next to the rocks. We just stayed in that spot with no effort and watching the force of the water pouring over the rocks, being so close to it, was absolutely amazing. He explained to me that the water comes over the rocks with such power and goes straight to the bottom, then back up (there's a name for this which I can't recall), but that is what held the raft in place and allowed us to just enjoy. No other guides stopped for this. Just Mike. I was seated in the back during the second half of the trip and Mike taught me so many things. The river will never be the same for me because Mike lives the life of a river guide with passion.
Each of us has different interests and talents that we can enrich the lives of others with. It makes life so full to know people who live large. You have enlarged my life with your puns and humor and your thoughtful questions. I think you live with passion.

Answer 2

right that is my opinion, in preserving with evaluating Scripture with Scripture and also from examining a number of books on the concern. a million, Paul wrote a million Thessalonians fairly early, probable 5-10 years earlier the Corinthian letters. In a million Thessalonians, the context of financial ruin 4 is the believing lifeless whose bodies "slept" in the floor. What Paul wrote in a million Thessalonians 4:16 is easily suitable--even as Jesus returns, in the air, for His saints, the lifeless will upward push first, and, in accordance to the subsequent verse, we who're alive and last will connect them, and so we will be with the Lord forever. Did you examine the subsequent a number of verses, or the full context? 2. Now in 2 Corinthians 5, Paul is discussing the guy believer and what takes position even as a believer dies. The believer is going to be with the Lord. again, i'm particular you said the verse that reported if Paul develop into absent from the Lord, he develop into in the body, and so on. So there is not any contradiction, those verses reflect 2 diverse sides of a believer's death, could a believer die earlier the Rapture. The body is going into the floor and the soul/spirit is going to be with the Lord. even as the Rapture comes, the body is raised, and joined to the soul and spirit, and is going to Heaven.

Answer 3

All imported beer is regulated too much. A normal beer drinking American guy going to Munich Oktoberfest could not stand up straight after drinking a sixer of real Lowenbrau. The same can be said for Sapporro, Corona, LaBatts, ad infinitum.

Answer 4

I don'tthink there are a good set of rules to follow 'cos everyone learns different things from any given situation. I think what is important is to learn how to handle and value what you have learnt. Teaching a child to understand that everyone can and does think and feel differently to themselves is OK and normal and that everything in life should be valued and all people tolerated for who they are can be the fundamental base of who that child will be as an adult. So, maybe humbleness??

Answer 5

That the best thing you can get out of an education is the ability and desire to teach yourself.

Either that, or never, ever do anything stupid in public. Because it WILL wind up on Youtube...

Answer 6

Guide and prepare your kids for the future. But do not shelter them and try to keep them from it.

The future and the world is coming for them, so they better be ready. If you shelter them too much, they are in for a big downfall. If you would have just prepared them and let them in on how the world works, they will be smarter and prepared for the goods and bads.

Answer 7

How to think and be creative. I shudder for kids today, who have every single second of their lives so overscheduled and don't even get recess. Kids need blank time and opportunities to make their own fun, even just space out.

Answer 8

That everyone is responsible for their own actions & as such reap the rewards or the consequences.

Answer 9

Promote a reasonable measure of self-sufficiency and just be there and listen to and answer them when they need us. Basic faith in humanity. And... of course: run away! run away!

Answer 10

To love God,be honest,forgiving and loving.
