Quotes by Teaching I think what I do differently from a lot of TV chefs is that I break down barriers and make fine food more accessible to the regular person, who might be intimidated. I try hard, particularly with wine, to make it not intimidating. It's sort of a teaching job. Ted Allen wineteachingjobs I try to be realistic with students. And say that there's a good chance that they're not going to get a creative writing teaching job, that there aren't enough jobs to go around and the university faculties are cutting back on staff and that they may have to get some other kind of work. None of them wants to hear that, but it is true and I think I'm a good example for them of somebody who took the other route. Ted Kooser cuttingteachingwriting People whose talents are not exploited become disenchanted and disruptive. Terence Conran learningteachingpeople If you see a child with autistic-like behaviors at age two and three, the worst thing you can do is just let them sit and watch TV all day.

You need to have a teacher working with that child, working on teaching language, working on social interaction, working on getting them interested in different things, and keeping their brain connected to the world. Temple Grandin teachingteacherchildren Children should be led into the right paths, not by severity, but by persuasion. Terence teachingteacherchildren The Tibetans have many teachings on how to die, consciously, and how to remain in the clear light, and it works. You can see it working, and they can stay in that state for hours, days, or weeks. Tenzin Palmo weeklightteaching Traditionally, women didn't have much a role in Buddhism. The books were all written by monks, for other monks. So the general view of the feminine was rather misogynistic, with women playing the role of the forbidden other, waiting to pounce on innocent little monks! In that society, it was hard for women to become educated and get the deeper teachings and really become accomplished. Tenzin Palmo buddhismteachingbook In fact nothing is said that has not been said before. Terence silenceteachingfacts If the writing is honest it cannot be separated from the man who wrote it. Tennessee Williams teachingwritingmen An artist’s work is almost entirely inquiry based and self-regulated. It is a fragile process of teaching oneself to work alone, and focusing on how to hone your quirky creative obsessions so that they eventually become so oddly specific that they can only be your own. Teresita Fernandez artistteachingself My mother was always expanding my art skills and getting me to paint different things. You always got to push some. And, I mean, I learned basic things like getting up on time, how to shop - you know, you don't touch things in a store you're not going to buy. These things were taught very young. I don't see today enough of this basic, you know, basic skill teaching. Temple Grandin teachingmotherart If you have a 2-year-old who is non-verbal, don't wait until you get a diagnosis at 4. The child needs one-on-one teaching with an effective teacher now. This can be a grandmother or a teacher or someone from the community. Grandmothers are especially great.

Temple Grandin autismskillsteaching Don't be thinking that this lama over there is giving better teachings or that this lama over here is giving more secret initiations. Leave that. Just keep the practice very simple, try to stay in the moment and try to stay mindful. Tenzin Palmo simpleteachingthinking Even if the hermits do not appear to benefit other beings with their presence or teachings, still they are enormously inspiring to many.
