One of the greatest talent is to make, teach, describe complicated things in the easy way. As person has magic to attract the attention of the people group, that make group to remember the subject and build imagination for complicated thing for the entire life.

I’m not big fan of the electronic, I had different classes related to the electronics at the university, electronic “looked” very boring for me. I can imagine and argue, that ~90% of the people, who attended electronic classes with me remember only the really basic of it. E.g. transistor is known word, but the main functions of it not (I’m not an “upstart”). Today I found outstanding description on the one book,

Transistor definition,

The transistor will likely go down as one of the greatest in modern history…

Transistor is tiny electronic device to control the flow of electricity. It has two key abilities: the first to amplify an electric signal, and the other is to switch on or off (1 or 0), letting current trough or blocking it as necessary.

Diode definition,

unlike a resistor, a diode is one-way street. Electricity (electrons) can go trough, but it can’t come back trough.

Well, probably if I had someone who describes the electronic in the similar way, I could be more interested in this subject. As well, such easy description stay on mind all life long, because it is an association, even then you do not touch these things at all.

Teachers are not supposed to be clowns, I agree. However, at the Latvian main technical university a lot of the teachers lack the ability to understand the fact, that some of their students have different level of the previous knowledge and a lot of classes are held in the “automatic” way, when teacher without any feelings and emotions are presenting the subject. Unfortunately usually students build just like “wall” against, so in result disrespect and incomprehension from the both sides. And students fell pretty good, when the teacher has trying to put himself/herself and best efforts to the process. Upon respect is built, two-side communication is possible, from teacher – his/her best to give the knowledge, from student – wiliness to get more knowledge.

Yes, I agree, that without any wiliness to knowledge, nothing is possible at the communication between teacher and student, however very motivated teacher is able to set fire for big groups of the students. That’s why talent is such important, that is described at the first sentence.
