"At my age, you are naturally inclined towards teaching"

- James Levine

About this Quote

This quote by James Levine suggests that as one grows older, they become more inclined to teach. This might be translated in a few various ways. First of all, it could indicate that as one ages, they end up being more educated and skilled, and hence more capable of teaching others. Second of all, it could suggest that as one grows older, they end up being more knowledgeable about the value of passing on knowledge and wisdom to the next generation, and thus end up being more inclined to teach. Lastly, it could indicate that as one ages, they become more familiar with the delight and fulfillment that comes from mentor, and thus become more likely to do so. Regardless of the interpretation, this quote suggests that mentor is a vital part of aging, and that it is something that should be embraced.
