How Does One Help?

I feel that my knowledge cannot be easily transferred. I was self-motivated after certain age. Students that come to me without prior motivation have a hard time getting something out of my work. My colleagues seem to have more of a clue how to get everybody working on the subject matter. When my students are mature, there is less of a problem, but the younger they are, the more of a challenge it is for me to get them interested in abstract work.

I have to find a place where my knowledge and attitudes are useful, I am not in a good place right now. The students and I did not synchronize well.
