Giving Back

"Two of the best ways to learn are to mentor and to teach." - Dr. Prediman Krishan Shah

The dim prospect of being a head coach is enough to plant me in front of a monitor studying basketball footage. My guitar-playing skills ramped up in direct proportion with the opportunity to perform for a friend and later, for a congregation.

It's nice to mentor as a form of giving back, too. The lessons I've learned from a hundred errors occasionally help someone along who's facing a similar hardship. More than analyzing data, it's the ability to learn from mistakes that might be the stronger trait.
