The SUBJECT (TOPIC) ... THE TEACHER

One of the things I learn in life is about Making Things Simple, Interesting and Easy to Understand especially if the subject is perceived to be "dry".

In many circumstances, the teacher's role goes beyond "teaching". If the teacher is passionate about his or her work, she need to reposition herself in the shoe of the one listening to her lectures. To try understand from the view of the students, the confusions or why students fail to grasp the message.

I have encountered teachers who use real life examples to explain the concepts and it is stuck in my mind forever. I have also experienced teachers who came to teach and unable to relate. Well, needless to say what went in came out exactly and nothing stuck in my mind.

When WE are on the BUY side of the GAME, we must determine if we are on the right path and position. Has it got limited downside? Is it on the way up? Or is it the beginning to go up? Or it is beginning to come down? Has it got limited upside?

Most of time the BUY is done without understanding the situation and the overall. Once you have written down your questions, the next step is to understand what tools are appropriate. What is the reliability of the tools? Have the tools failed to work? If yes, when and how often?

Once you manage to establish the Rules and the system, you minimize your risks and to be honest it can very boringly monotonous. Some smarties will vouch the inter and intra relationships between A and B and C. My own experience is IT WORKS SOMETIME and NOT ALL THE TIME. It is easier and less problematic when you try to make a conclusion to just study the matter INDEPENDENTLY without attempting to link it to others. Each "moving" matter has its own cycle and it is highly unlikely it will be 100% synch with others all the time.

When you look at something, what you see if the thing as a WHOLE before you pry into the inner details. When you try to reverse the process, it will be a total failure.
