Look for somebody who listens and when they are told, stays told!

Dont tell them too much at once!, I have seen a few people create these "instant experts"

A little knowledge is indeed a dangerous thing but more than you know how to apply is even worse :!:

Belirve it or not, I have found that someone who is really quite quight, but very observant seem to make good pupils, they seem to repeat what has been said, and copy what has been shown,once, uncanily,, but a deep rooted passion must shine thro somewere, someone once said to me, that you cannot really say what makes a good falconer,,they just are, and you cant really put your finger on why, some people are I beleive born like it, but they seem to be far and few between.
