Once a month, all the seminary teachers attend a training meeting. At a recent one, Brother B. had a big bag of limes. He gave one to each of us, and said, "I am giving you one minute. Get to know your lime."
We turned them all around, noticed the bruises, dots, bumps, various colors, etc.
After one minute, he had us all put them back in the bag. Then he dumped them on the table, and we each had to pick out our lime. It was so easy! Mine was light on one side and dark on the other. I knew exactly which spots and bruises it had, because I had studied it and paid attention to it.
He went on to give us a lesson on paying attention to each student, their personalities, their interests, how they learned, etc. If a teacher spends time getting to know the student, the teacher can serve that student better. It was a good analogy.
