And Maverick was absolutely right about being a "teacher" vs. a "do'er." They are two different and distinct skills. A good teacher must not only be able to do whatever is being taught, but also to motivate the student to learn it... to appreciate what is being taught... to communicate it in a way the student will understand as easily as possible. The joy in teaching comes in knowing you were able to motivate the student to learn... and that they did learn.
Maverick enjoyed "doing" it... not "teaching" it.
