Summary

Anything we know, we have learnt it. We can learn through experience or through teaching. Though learning through teaching can be easier, faster and safer, we can learn well only if we are taught well. I consider good teaching a sophisticated form of art, and good teachers, like artists, must dedicate themselves to their art and should never stop learning and seeking perfection.
