Browsing through the Used Career Bin


We all have as our passion a talent or devotion to excellence that in some manner we will hope to share with another - a son, daughter, friend, student, among others. Does completion of a project or assignment as mentor seem to be, at the very least, perfection? To be sure, who can recount one's own such splendor in accomplishment without identifying a notable person of awe-inspiring influence -- a Lehrer, German for a teacher of the highest order?

"Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself" a Chinese proverb

"The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening ..." Anatole France

"Teaching cuts right into your being; essentially, it takes over your spirit. It drags it out from where it would hide". Sylvia Ashton-Warner

Of all the uncertainties we face each day none is more daunting than reflection over how I may be remembered. Fashion a legacy that brings further investigation not simple complicity. Unveil your story, your signature, your moment in the world when at least one other may see it in a way never before viewed.

When faced with the reality of perhaps never finding a place in our world that defines us, years become months, months become days, and days become fleeting moments. How shall we capture the opportunity to make a difference, to find something to stand over and profess as our own, assuring its self-expression for all to see?
