Can This Be The Best Way To Learn?

I’m not referring to real teachers that you see in schools, but someone who can teach. You’re a ‘teacher’ and if you’re not, I would suggest you to start practicing doing that for your own good.

You see, education is not necessarily confined to schools or colleges. They can be everywhere. When you shown your dad (or your kid) how to use the computer, that’s a form of teaching.

Surprisingly, a lot of people are not good at imparting their knowledge to someone else, especially lessons in life. And that happens to be the most important ‘education’.

Some even find teaching frustrating.

Look- you learn about success from various of ways – theoretically learning from books, audios, seminars, courses, etc. Then there are observation learning and experiential learning by DOING IT.

All of these are great – but I believe, the most powerful way of learning is when you have the ability to teach what you know to someone. If you can do that, you can bet that you definitely know what you know. This is just one selfish reason why you want to teach- because it’s for your own success. But in truth, it’s not a ‘selfish’ reason because you’re helping others.

But when you want to teach, you must be able to control your emotion because people learn at their own paces. You may be able to learn something in 10 minutes but your ‘student’ may need more time. It’ll defeat the purpose of teaching if you cannot control your patience. Besides, patience is also another emotion you must control to become successful. (Maybe I’ll write about this on other time in the future.)

Remember, how good you are as a teacher depends on how much you can teach your student in the shortest time possible and he understands it.

Can’t find ‘students’?

You got to be kidding me. Are you sure that whatever you know or learned do not interest anyone else? If that’s the truth, dude, you better start learning something else. (smile)

And if you still can’t find student, use the internet. It’s in front of you!

It’s so easy to get started doing. If you haven’t realize yet, sharing is a form of teaching. For whatever topic you want to teach, there are forums out there – and they always welcome your input. It’s a good way to teach because the discussion will be continued and often enough, others will join. If you’re into success and self improvement, you can use my forum to start at www.successandlife.com/forum.

Teaching can also be as simple as an answer. Thousands of people are seeking answers in website like Yahoo Answer at http://answers.yahoo.com.

So really- there’s no excuse for you not to start teaching others. And if you start doing that, the retention of the knowledge you’ve taught will be higher.

But here’s the big kicker– you can get paid if you know how to teach well enough. Whether you pass your knowledge in a book or provide coaching, it can pay off really well. So this should be another strong motivator for you to start brushing your skill of teaching. (smile)
