This is what I do. I am a teacher. Hopefully, the gods concur.
It’s a great feeling to get to that stage of your career, even if, as in my case, it takes forever.
Instead of spending most of your waking hours being “burdened by a great potential”,dreaming of future greatness or whatever. You spend a lot more of your time just living in the moment, trying to solve the problem at hand.
So instead of feeling like a heroically deranged, Edwardian explorer in a pith helmet, in the Amazon on some mad quest, you’re more like a master sushi chef, quietly chopping away, worrying about this piece of fish, not the next piece of fish. Earning your success, one bite-size piece at time.
This takes commitment. In the end, you’ve got to choose it.
HEARTFELT GRATITUDE....
“Love” is one of those words that people don’t like using much around the Business School,
especially when one is talking about one’s colleagues.
But…without what the Ancient Greeks called “Agape”
(Brotherly/Sisterly love, divine love, non-romantic love etc.),
building a ACADEMIC CAMARADERIE; doing anything worthwhile with colleagues, is impossible.
I think "everyday" is a perfect occasion to express “Agape” to one’s colleagues. Nothing meaningful gets done without Agape. It is the glue that holds us all together.
To all my colleagues = HEARTFELT GRATITUDE....
BOOMER ABROAD SINCE 1988 (AND A FEW YEARS BEFORE)
Wanting adventure, being able to have adventures, being able to see life as an adventure, is not luck. It’s a choice. And the ones who fail to make that choice; invariably make something else instead: Excuses.
I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over.
Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.
