What is a Teacher? How Does MyGigNet Relate?

I have always been a teacher in essence and this is the perspective that I bring. It is born of observing, of listening. It didn't matter if it was a lecture, a film, or a friend just pouring their heart out. Listening was the key. Again, this is the perspective that I bring to bear in the following:

I had an experience today that bears relating. I was at the desk in the showroom of my family's floor covering business, attending to the formidable assemblage of MyGigNet, asking questions, positing answers, organizing, implying, and applying, when the phone rang.

An obviously focused instructor at one of the local high schools was at the other end of the line. He was mentoring a class that was to present a demonstration at a trade show and needed tiles, of various sort and application, along with preparation and installation information, and other specifications. I explained to him that, while we did not stock the fullness of his requests, I could offer him a reasonable and accessible solution.

His response was one that emphasized time management (his words) and that his choice to call us was one of convenience, as we were down the street. I offered that our suppliers were equally close and would hold the easy solution to his dilemma, but he would hear none of it. He wasn't familiar with certain streets though he was familiar enough with the landmark ones. Repeating that he chose us because we were on the boulevard, he further added that he apparently had phoned the wrong people and hung up.

A man speaking the principles of time management would not take the time to listen, even when the solution was in front of him. A “teacher”. God help us.

What is a teacher? A teacher is not necessarily an instructor, though an instructor may, at times, be a teacher. An instructor will take the step by step approach while a teacher will broaden the scope of perspective. An instructor may teach by implication and application, but the teacher always teaches.

MyGigNet, to be differentiated from other Internet solutions, is the teacher. Let the others instruct. MyGigNet will teach them, too. And so, today's lesson:

There is one language that the whole of the Cosmos holds common: the language of vibration. This is music. Until the innate nature of this language, in a holistic sense, is embraced as the prime mover – the initiator of action – as well as its result, human beings will experience a lack in the significance of their being. Significance may arise, but not its full potential.

Music activates complexities in brain activity more dimensional than that of any language. These are the pathways to fullest use of our faculties, as well as our potentials for solving and avoiding problems. Music is the teacher because it changes our perspective. MyGigNet embraces the whole of music by identifying with the creative force, itself. There are no barriers. MyGigNet, therefore, is the teacher.

Let me get back to today's experience. The easiest thing for anyone to do is to go to what's convenient. The point is that everything on the Internet is down the street. The solutions are in front of us, though it takes some time for the best answers to appear. Patience and perseverance are the best solutions to time management. The question is: do we, as a community, hold the will to take to the side streets, make discoveries, share them, learn, and teach?
