I had amazing teachers. Some in primary and middle school, then most of the high-school ones, and then a really outstanding amount at University. I owe so much of who I am today to all these people, it's really humbling. I should say, not everyone around me felt the same about the school. There were always people who felt they're too cool for school, or did that teenagery thing where picking faults somehow makes you feel grown up. Also, it's not like every minute of every single class was pure rapture. There were lots of boring bits, and exam stress, and just having to get on with things. They're teachers, not entertainers. But all these people taught me how to learn hard stuff. They taught me that learning itself is fun, even when the nitty gritty of learning isn't necessarily so. Many of them modeled it by being curious and interested. They treated us with respect, which clearly wasn't based on how much we knew. And I guess it definitely left a mark as, even though I'm not a teacher, I do spend a lot of time thinking how to add value through educating. Both in, like, blogging, but also in business. I know how it feels to be empowered by knowledge, so I like being able to offer it to others.
