Preceptor Quotes

“little inspiration, you can make them want to want to learn.  The problem is, you never really know how to do that.  You don’t know what is going to inspire them: Talent? Pride? Fear? Self-love?  Self-loathing? Acclaim? Humiliation? Praise? Reward?  In the end, you have to guess.  And when you guess wrong, you try something else.  There is no single best way to teach anything.  It depends on the student, the instructor, and the subject.  It’s a wonder we convey any knowledge to the next generation at all,” he said, cynically.”
― Terry Mancour, Preceptor

“Oh, sure, when I’m making things up as I go along, I’m a genius.  The moment I start trying to take control of the situation, I’m a fool?”
― Terry Mancour, Preceptor
