These aspect that i'm about to share is very vital in ones life and all his endeavours. There’s one characteristic that separates the successful from the unsuccessful in every walk of life:
Teachability. Those who are teachable, and remain so, usually succeed. The unteachable usually fail. I’ve seen that in business, I’ve seen it in the ministry, I’ve seen it among students, and I’ve seen it in children and teens around me.
No matter how much talent and gifting we have, if we are, or become, unteachable, we will never reach anywhere near our full potential in our careers, our callings or our relationships.
The Distinguishing Difference
Think of all the successful people you know— what is it that distinguishes them all? It’s teachability, isn’t it? Think of all the people you know that never really made the most of the gifts and opportunities God gave them.
Unteachability is the common thread, isn’t it? If there’s one thing I want to to teach my children and students, it’s teachability. The ability for them to be receptive to learning and flexible in their thinking.

When I speak to young people or students, I can usually tell quite quickly the ones who will do well in their lives and callings … and those who won’t. Teachability makes the difference. Teachability gets people to the top. But if you lose teachability at the top, you won’t be at the top for long. These equally applies here on steemit, the more you teach the more you become valuable.
So what does unteachabilty look like?
• Doesn’t take notes, read books or learn anything unless it’s the bare minimum or what’s essential for exam purposes.
• Doesn’t ask questions or attempt anything that might reveal ignorance or risk looking stupid.
• Doesn’t accept responsibility for failures but blames anyone and everyone else.
• Resists moving out of personal comfort zones in work, study, ministry or relationships, but always looks for the easy and familiar route.
• Doesn’t read, listen to or learn anything that challenges existing presuppositions, practices and prejudices.

Beloved, the unteachable cannot be malleable. They're not liable to positive change because of their obstinacy and recalcitrant attitude. They are so rigid and myopic in their thinking and never consider other people's suggestions as Paramount or beneficial. If you are unteachable, you won't be Malleable and your giftings might gradually detract at the progress of time. So, Beware.
