Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
The first time I heard this expression it felt like a physical blow...a literal punch in the gut. I couldn't believe anyone would ever say those words and it hurt to hear them because I've been a teacher most of my life. For me, teaching is a rewarding collaborative experience where the back and forth exchange can turn student into teacher and vice versa. I am passionate about the power of education and know the exchange of ideas and perspectives to be a thrilling experience.
