Accordingly, one of the most efficacious ways to develop one’s understanding of anything is to try to explain it to someone else; teaching does return a reward. For explaining one’s experience forces one to give narrative form to it; and as the words come and the sentences flow, the information is organized and systematized: the facts “fall into place.”'''<br />
