GZ’s supervisor expressed his heartfelt gratitude to GZ in his speech during the party last Saturday (refer Another successful story).He said, “Although it might appear to be appropriate for a student thanking his/her supervisor. But this is not quite true. It is not only the student learning from the teacher. But at the same time, the teacher is learning as much if not more from the student.”
Yes, this is so true. This student-teacher relationship knowledge and skill acquisition is not a single way; it is a two-way direction.
The student is not only learning whatever is passed from the teacher. But the teacher is learning new perspectives from the student during the process of passing his/her skills. The teacher is also learning how to be a teacher in order to pass on the “lineage”.
Learning is never a one-way ticket. Parents learn from the kids. Older siblings learn from the younger ones. Senior coworkers learn from the new bees. Couples learn from their spouse/partner. Everyone is learning from everyone, every day every moment all the time. We just never realize that this is happening all the time. Thus we have to be thankful to others for letting us learn directly and indirectly.
“A wise man, though possessed of immense perfections, will learn from others. By such practice, he/she will at last become omniscient.”
