The Ego of expectations

I was once presented with an opportunity to give to another my skills my attention and abilities.  I have found that the skills the mechanics are easy to express and teach, and with the use of technology fundamentally fast.  The attention that it takes to become talented and skilled in any craft is it more about the time, than that it is actually teaching.

This means I have found to give somebody a mechanic’s skills it takes both my time, and their time, it takes them time to use those skills. 

If there was one thing that I would say it’s the hardest to teach it would be the abilities.  Teaching someone how to mechanically use a machine, is far different than teaching somebody the abilities it takes.

See abilities have reference to the active exercise of our faculties.  It implies not only native vigor of mind, but the easy and promptness of execution.  This promptness and execution can only be arrived at through confidence.

The downfall of all teaching is the expectation.  Teach a child to use a marker is easy, to teach them to keep the marker on the paper is also easy but it takes time, at my house it takes cleanser to clean up the walls as they explore, as find they can use the tool.

To expect them to develop vigor so easily expressed upon execution, is the folly of ego.
