I always think I will quit whatever job I do and go teach in school when I get older and approach the end of my technical career. It's a lower stress work, generally more stable, and with many holidays. cool Furthermore, I like teaching which brings me satification when someone learns.

So from time to time, I spend time thinking about teaching. This even start before I become a TA and snowboard instructor. I'm always wondering how to become a teacher and what makes me effective. I might just pick this up form my father, who used to be a secondary school teacher.

There are a few qualities I can think of that a teacher needs:
- patient, not every one learns on the same pace
- ability to explain idea, it has to be systematic that students can see the logic of how things work
- ability to communicate idea in more than one way, no single way can explain to all students

Well, I need to survive work for the next 20-25 years before myabe I may quit......
