The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
The surest way to learn something valuable is through a great teacher.
Once you’ve found a teacher
— And he’s agreed to teach you —
LISTEN.
Learn to ask questions without questioning the teacher.
Set aside what you’ve learned before and listen with the mind of a beginner.
Why should he teach you if you already know everything?
Or if you do nothing with what he gives you?
