Liao: Effective teachers can take on many roles, which can be symbolized by the hands. An essential role is leadership, respresented by this gesture.
Satoru: Many hands, many roles. Sort of makes sense. What other roles do you envision, oh Venerable Great Master of Diamond Bull Shit?
Liao: We could count hundreds – but vision, compassion, discipline, and fearlessness are primary ones.
Melissa: Notice how one hand has a closed fist, expressing determination. Another is pointing upwards, expressing aspiration.
Liao: Yeah. In ways few teachers realize simple hand gestures help us "lock" various mental states.
Satoru: Body language is an important aspect of teaching. We're constantly teaching through our bodies, often in ways we're hardly conscious of.
Tim: Perhaps that's almost better. Too much knowledge pollutes.
