*John Malkovich scowl*

On what subject(s) are you an authority?

Why are you here? Ah-ah-ah. Don’t move. Don’t move. You move, I get nervous because I don’t know what you’ll do, and you know what will happen then? Things will get messy. You don’t want that. So, again. Why are you here? No, Matthew, this is not about me. It’s about you. Why are you here? Just answer the question, Matthew. Na-ah-ah. What did I say about moving. There you go, moving again. Why aren’t you answering the question? The question, Matthew. See, now you’re making me nervous. And I told you, Matthew, don’t make me nervous. Now, things are going to get messy. All because you couldn’t answer a simple question, Matthew. *sigh* You disappoint me. *click*

Hindsight

Who was your most influential teacher? Why?

A good education is like a harvest of plenty:

Many hands have to help in the planting. Many moons have to pass in the growing.

And many days are spent taking in the harvest, one life lesson at a time.

It is all a constant, communal effort.

And yet.

You won’t know just how much you needed that harvest until the Winter of Discontent arrives.

For then you see its necessity: The storms may rage, the snows and ice may isolate, but you are not alone and do indeed have plenty.
