Lacking in skills

Motivation. I have no idea how to motivate people. Well I suppose that's not true I mean I do have ideas, but to convince people to do things they don't want to... Well there's where I'm lacking.

Case in point, students' parents want me to talk them into continuing. Well honestly at their age I didn't have the choice myself. So, I know how great it's been in my life, but as for telling them that. It's what you get for dedicating yourself to something, which when you're a kid you can't see that. So it's up to the parents in my eyes.

I can tell you we have a lot to offer, but unless you come you won't know what it is. Really, honestly, I doubt most that come to class catch as much as is there, if any at all. I know for a fact people have problems leaving ego at the door. Also in this country we are overly competitive with others and very little with ourselves. Thus when I tell someone to be more humble with higher ranking, it doesn't sink in.

The higher you go the less you know, but that's not something most can grasp.
