The other day I had someone tell me about a time when I taught him something 30 years ago that was very meaningful to him. He remembered it clearly in detail.
Then yesterday someone told me that they made the biggest decision of their life and decided NOT to do something based on a track on my Blueprint CD.
You can be a teacher. My great friend Mike Lane was the ultimate teacher.
A teacher sees people not as they are, but as they could be, and works to fill the gap so the student may fulfill their potential.
“A teacher affects eternity. He can never tell where his influence stops.” Henry Brooks Adams
You don’t have to have special training, or a classroom or a stage. All you have to have is care to help someone. Look for opportunities to teach. They are all around you.
It never fails! When a subject is on my mind you seem to touch on it in you TD messaging. Thank you for the affirmation Larry!
LJ,
Both my parents were teachers an life-long educators. There must be something about teaching in our DNA, because I feel like I inherited their passion ad hopefully, some of their gifts. Helping others grow is how we earn eternity!
I am grateful for those who have taught me. My dad and my mom from the beginning, many great teachers from K-12 and college, many business mentors and wise friends. I’ve been blessed with many.
How true, being an effective teacher is so important. It is probably one of the easiest but most overlooked things in life. Simply slow down, and care about everything you do, the efficient teaching will follow.
Amen!
Larry, I want to thank you for all you’ve taught me! With business and life. Through all the experiences I’ve had with you, I’ve learned so much! I’ve been developing my own business the past 2 years and couldn’t have done that without your teachings. I am truly grateful for the opportunity and time I had to work for you. Thank you!
Miss ya buddy!

Teachers can make such a difference in our life. My mom was one of the best teachers I ever had, and she taught at my high school, too – her students still talk about what a difference she made for them! Take the time to share your knowledge with others and you will bring out the best in them.
