Pleasure
“It is difficult to imagine effective teachers who do not have an abiding fascination with their subjects, who do not love being among students, and who do not gain fulfillment from nourishing others’ minds and lives . . .

At its very best, teaching is a form of intellectual play in which students are invited to join.”
