The best teachers are the ones who know how to make you learn whether you want to or not. They are the ones who hit you where it hurts, where it counts. They make your soul stronger; forging you in fire.

Other teachers might just be jerks.

It’s up to you to decide which is which. I wonder which Marty has…

I’m not going to talk much about myself this time. I’m getting set up for my own trial by fire in my personal life, and I don’t want to do any smack talking before the event, in case I get smacked down. That and I have a bad habit of accidentally pissing people off when I speak on the internet. Better to keep my mouth shut this time.

When you get far enough along, you might get lucky and realize that the best teacher you have is looking you right in the mirror, if you’s just listen to what they were trying to tell you.

Or maybe that’s just another jerk.
