TEACHING OTHERS: LEAPS VS STEPS

My general philosophy is to produce and generate interest. I don’t like to ‘direct’. I love answering questions. But I prefer each of us makes his own journey out of recognizing and acting on his own opportunities. I have found over my life that if I try to structure learning for others that I fail because the way I learn myself is too different from the way the majority learn. There are some of us who intuit great leaps between seemingly unrelated concepts then try to learn how to fill in the steps between them. But most of us learn by taking one step at a time. The kind of people who make great leaps also, only need content, and for me to answer a few questions. The kind of people who learn step by step are harder for me to reach. In part because I reach the ‘steps’ at the end of my journey – not the beginning. So I can’t really ‘think backward’ until I’ve thoroughly solved the problem.
