I think so too. My father was a teacher and then a school principle. He is a very likable fellow and had an ease with most all of his students in relating with them and getting them to listen to what he had to say, particularly the difficult ones others didn't like, probably his high likability factor helped tremendously and very happy disposition. It is having that bridge or way over to relate to others or hook them in that really allows advice or words to have a deeper meaning in terms of sinking in knowledge or advice. Years later I've seen fairly often students of his past recognizing him and thanking him for things he told them. Pretty cool.
