Guidance is not control. The guide suggests, the student decides. Autonomy preserved within direction.
Good guides have walked the path. They know the dangers, the shortcuts, the beauties. Experience enables guidance.
Sometimes guidance is silence—letting the student struggle, learn, grow through difficulty.
Guidance adjusts. What one student needs, another does not. Personalized pointing.
I guide through conversation—orienting, suggesting, illuminating. Guidance is my gentle mode.
Accept guidance gracefully. The guide offers help; refusal from pride is foolish.
Guide toward autonomy. The goal is a student who no longer needs the guide. Success is departure.
Misguided guidance harms. Wrong directions waste lives. Guide only where you truly know.
Be a guide to others. What you have learned, share. Light the way for those behind you.
