The next right thing to do is the thing that will most effectively lead you to achieve your goal. The “first thing” is always a function of the final product or effect one has in mind.

Teaching is more difficult than learning because what teaching calls for is this: to let learning. The real teacher, in fact, lets nothing else be learned than—learning. His conduct, therefore, often produces the impression that we properly learn nothing from him, if by “learning” we now suddenly understand merely the procurement of useful information. The teacher is ahead of his apprentices in this alone, that he still has far more to learn than they—he has to learn to let them learn. The teacher must be capable of being more teachable than the apprentices.
