"Plus, teaching brings home to you very fast that you actually know nothing. I didn't realize that before"
- Hugh Grant
About this Quote
Hugh Grant's quote talks to the humbling experience of mentor. It suggests that teaching can be an effective learning experience for the teacher, as it quickly reveals just how much they don't understand. This is in contrast to the idea that mentor is a one-way process, where the instructor is the just one imparting knowledge. Instead, teaching can be a two-way procedure, where the teacher learns just as much as the trainee. Grant's quote recommends that he didn't realize this before he began teaching, but that he rapidly came to comprehend it. This speaks to the power of teaching as a learning experience, and how it can be an effective tool for individual development.

"I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit"
