"Nurturing is a strength that resembles the best kind of parenting. A manager or teacher gains satisfaction from the growth of employees or students . . .the nurturer can 'see' each increment of growth and expresses heartfelt warmth that enables employees to grow" (144).
When I read this passage, I immediately saw a connection between nurturers and gardeners. I feel that gardeners, like nurturers, experience a certain type of contentment when their gardens thrive, much like the joy an educator or boss feels when their students or employees succeed.
In your opinion:
>What are some similarities between nurturers and gardeners?
>Are nurturers better gardeners than non-nurturers? Why or why not?
