    Teaching is one of the finest professions you can have, and it is honored in our household. I did not go into it primarily because of the money, and, if I may be perfectly honest, the ingratitude of the vast majority of one’s students. I did not think I could handle trying to educate people who do not want to be there in the first place. People may not want to hear about one’s being a teacher because it brings them face to face with their own intellectual shortcomings – born largely of their own indifference when they were in school themselves. I have never understood why people brag about how much they’ve forgotten of what they learned in high school or college. That would be a badge of shame for me, but then again, I am committed to lifelong learning, read voraciously, travel to interesting places when I can afford it (this year it’s Amsterdam), and seek the company of people from whom I can learn something. Weird, eh?
