Try teaching it to someone else !

“When one teaches… two learn.” Robert Half

It has been said for a long time, if you want to learn something thoroughly try teaching it to someone else. I have found this to be so true. Every time I teach I learn far more than any of my students.

This happens for several reasons…

1. You must learn the subject from beginning to end from history to future possibilities.
2. You must put complex ideas into simple language for others to learn.
3. You must organize your subject.
4. You must repeat the material several times…

Find something you want to learn and try teaching it to a novice. If you have a loving spouse they may be willing to listen to you teach your new subject. Believe me I have a very loving wife.
