A Good Teacher

Find a good teacher that has the knowledge you need.
Then yield to that teacher so there are no barriers.
Don’t challenge the teachings until you understand them properly.
That understanding needs to be internalised with sufficient practice .
Then challenge everything in a polite, intelligent way until it’s proven.
Keep challenging it as there will undoubtably be hidden depths each time you return to it.
Ask questions as a good teacher will be happy that you’re interested.
Questions help a teacher to improve the way they teach.
Challenge, question, but don’t argue as that will immediately break the teacher/student connection.
If you feel the need to argue with a teacher, it’s time for you to leave.
You can only learn that which you are prepared to understand, accept, work with, internalise, question, challenge and seek more depth.
A good teacher will pitch knowledge at a level that you’re able to work with and then support you on your journey with it.

A good teacher/student relationship is rare, if you experience it, understand the value.
