The best gift you can give to students is NOT your knowledge. Knowledge is immediately available.
The best gift you can give is an explanation of how to ask questions in order to discern what knowledge is needed and how to evaluate the credibility of that information.
The best gift you can give is an explanation of how to wield, use, and apply that knowledge for their personal betterment or the betterment of others.
The best gift you can give is the ability to create new things and share them, to communicate clearly and kindly with all whose paths you cross, and to embrace failure with interest and humility.
The best gift you can give your students is to be a learner.
