the trickiest lesson for a teacher to learn

(or the most elusive lesson) is that

not every student is teachable

similarly (for a writer) it might be that

not every story is writable

if youre used to teaching (especially if youre good at it) then youre used to success in that area—you might forget that sometimes youre going to fail !!

if youre the doctor then have fun healing (but dont forget that some patients cannot be healed)

if youre the artist then have fun expressing (but dont forget that some feelings cannot be expressed)

in mastering the how of a thing—remember that youre a limited being and you cannot do everything you imagine you can do

finding your edges is part of learning the landscape of your field of endeavor

remember that sometimes you will fail

it is natural
