The student becomes the teacher
I have recently been visiting with my friend's elderly neighbor. He is quite a kick. So I decided to teach him how to do Sudoku. Since he had never done it, much less heard of it, I started out with a simpler version. To my surprise and delight (his, too) he loves it and caught on right away. He isn't quite ready for the full version, so I have made up blanks and filled in some of the numbers, myself. Yesterday he flew through the six puzzles I made for him in a record amount of time. I even made a couple of puzzles with symbols instead of numbers. Today I find myself rattling my brain to come up with new ones that will take him more than a minute a piece to do. My point is that many times, the student becomes the teacher. By the way, he corrected me about his age, he is only 93! Make a ripple, be willing to learn, see what happens.

Its always such a gift when someone takes the time to show you something new no matter what the age and I love learning new things.
