It is not possible to discuss learning and teaching without mention of a human beings talent, passion, capacity and seasons. These four elements became the focus of my thinking in the later years as I attempt to put in perspective the variables that influence learning and teaching.
Talent
Talent is mostly a natural inclination to do something better than most people. I would say probably the top one to three percent. For people who are talented usually I see them as becoming even artistic in their work.
The teacher has a higher responsibility to identify talents and foster the development of the learners talent.
Hard work will always overcome natural talent when natural talent does not work hard enough.

Passion
Since childhood he has always wanted to be an astronaut. He grew up completely engrossed in space. He ended up going to space.
Stories of childhood dreams realization abound. Passionate people we call them.
She was a freshman in college. She told me she wanted to be a human rights activist to fight for the rights of women in developing countries. Her eyes and facial determination tells me she has passion. She has chosen a course that will bring her closer. Each vacation I would hear that she is somewhere in some place few people would consider to vacation.
She is passionate. Every road she chooses will only for her passion, including her vacation. No more just childhood dreams.
Passion is a natural drive to do and desire to stay on a subject, a strong desire, being extremely enthusiastic, and enduring.
What is your students passion?
Capacity
Some people struggle with managing three people, some flourish with thirty. There are those who have multiple projects in their hands in multiple locations and still can raise some great kids. I know of some who have done neither well even though they have regular jobs and not much responsibility. .
Some are thirty, some are sixty and the rest of the pack, one hundred.
My students are not all one hundred so I treat their learning differently.
Seasons
I have only learnt this recently. Everything has its time. There is a time to teach and a time to learn. When the time to teach and the time to learn meets. This, is the right season.
Is your student in a learning season?
