“Those who can’t do, teach.”
– Some asshole
I used to very seriously stand by that quote. I figured if you’re busy doing, you’re way too busy to teach what you’re doing.
I was wrong. If you’re too busy to teach your craft, at some point you need to change priorities and teach your craft. Now, I think teaching is one of the most important things we can do. It’s a giving act, can be selfless, and generally helps the student as much as the teacher.
Today, I’m going to make a case against the following arguments:
- I’m not good enough/don’t know enough to teach.
- I make too many mistakes to teach.
- I don’t really know what I’m doing, how could I teach?
- There are so many people who are better than me, I can’t teach yet.
- You have to really have something mastered to teach it.
- I’m just not quite ready to teach yet.
- I don’t know how to teach.
- I’m not a good teacher, I really suck at it.
Alright. Are you ready to have all of your thoughts and opinions debunked and start teaching?
Let’s break into it…
