You can’t really teach people anything unless they are willing to learn. What I like most is working with willing and eager learners – people who are hungry and are excited about learning new things.  These people are GHB’s (growing human beings) and are usually optimistic, open-minded and curious. Those are my kind of folks.  You must be one of them if you are reading this post so thanks for showing up!

Teachers who are GHBs make teaching and learning fun for themselves as well as their students. Teachers love GHBs who ask questions and push the envelope, GHBs who think for themselves and demonstrate an ability to spawn new ideas. Hallelujah for the GHBs of the world.

GHB’s set goals for themselves and work diligently to achieve them. This includes everything from completing all assignments and course work to establishing a clear career path to where you want to live in the world. And for God’s sake, get out of this country and see the world! GHB’s are willing to expand their horizons and explore new places, people and have new experiences.

As a true GHB, be willing to take a foreign language, study abroad and participate in the real “global economy” and set yourself apart from the mass competition. Be committed to learning any and everything you can. With information changing and increasing each year, you must establish yourself as a life-long learner and be willing to keep at it until the day you die. After all as a willing learner and a GHB, if you’re green, you’re growing, if you’re ripe, you’re rotting!
