No shortcuts

It's such a rre privelege to hear about what can be done by someone who has done it; and someone who knows it doesnt happen overnight or because one is following a recipe or a mandate. Sometimes the fastest way to get to what George Wood describes is as fast as you can go, but no faster! There isnt a shortcut when it comes to creating the kind of adult/student/family relationships he describes.
