About This Quote

I was a teacher for a number of years, and I can attest to the truth behind this quote. The joy that you feel when you create something new is incredibly rewarding. It is a feeling that cannot be described in words, but one that you feel deep within yourself. The teacher’s job is to find those feelings and rekindle those feelings in others.
