6. Do you say "I like the way you did that!" to the mechanic who repairs your car to your satisfaction?

-If you answered yes to 4 or more, it's in your soul--you are hooked on teaching. And if you're not a teacher, you

-If you answered yes to all 10, forget it--you'll ALWAYS be a teacher, retired or not!
