To Do OR Not To Do

Lessons come in all ways. Teachable moments happen all the time.

When teaching and learning is thought of, it is usually in the form of what to do. Questions must be asked or an experience experienced to know what not to do.

It is great to be taught in the positive form but if you learn through an experience of what not to do it was still a lesson.

Many times what not to do will definitely leave a stronger impression on one than what to do.

All are not GREAT teachers but in some way we are all teachers.

Teaching what to do is great and also letting people know along the way you have made some mistakes makes the teacher and the pupil able to relate to each other better.

But whether you have learned in the positive through instruction or the negative error and trial and error... you have still accomplished the goal of learning AND teaching. In which often sharing the error usually enlightens the teacher also.

TO DO OR NOT TO DO....IS STILL A LESSON LEARNED!

Thank you for acknowledging my post. It is greatly appreciated. I love to read feedback.
