This is real life story from my father. My father started his teacher career at late 60's. His main subjects were mathematics and physics. He feld himself very confident with those subjects and he told that he was very top of those. But the chemistry was another story. He did not like that at all, he almost hated it but it was mandatory so called minor-subject in university so he passed only those mandatory courses and that was it.
Then came the day of first teacher job and the school principal told to my father that he will be teaching also chemistry! My father was not pleased. He has barely passed those mandatory cources and did not like chemistry at all. Principal noticed that my father was not pleased and he asked two questions:
- Can you read?
- Do you like being a teacher?
My father answered "yes" to both questions. The principal replied: "Ok, then there is no problem. You can read couple of chapters ahead and know a little bit more than students. You like teaching, first you teach yourself and then students".
With these advices my father started his teacher career and carried it out with success over 40 years. I think these advices are good for our business also. We need to learn all the time and we need to be ahead our competitors. And what ever we are doing we need to do that with passion and not to be afraid of new or complicated issues.
