I have found myself, more often than not, to be in the role of advisor. This may have evolved from my career as a teacher. . Teaching, when done effectively, is very complex. As one evolves and improves (and this is entirtely necessary), little gems of wisdom become incorporated into practice; as well, one’s teaching philosophy, one’s beliefs about life and teaching become solidified.
Hence, WHAT I BELIEVE…
A favorite quote, which I share often and remind myself of even more frequently:
“To work in the world lovingly means that we are defining what we will be for, rather than reacting to what we are against.”
I read with anguish…..and delight….your blog entry on one of my old university friends, Mark Dickson. He was a freshman when I graduated with my MBA in 1983. We were good friends that lost track of each other. Be happy to trade anecdotes with you sometime if you send me your email.
