If You Are Not Prepared To Resign

I Think That Every Educator, Indeed Every Human Being, Is Concerned With What Is True And What Is Not; What Experiences To Cherish And Which Ones To Avoid; And How Best To Relate To Other Human Beings. We Differ In How Conscious We Are Of These Questions; How Reflective We Are About Our Own Stances; Whether We Are Aware Of How These Human Virtues Are Threatened By Critiques (philosophical, Cultural) And By Technologies (chiefly The Digital Media). A Good Educator Should Help Us All To Navigate Our Way In This Tangled Web Of Virtues.

If You Enjoy Reading, Writing, Learning, And Sharing What You Have Learned, Don't Hesitate To Look For A Life Where You Can Continue To Do Those Things. It Could Be As A Scientist, An Educator, An Editor, A Journalist, The Founder Of An Organization. You Only Live Once, And It Is A Tragedy If You Deny Yourself These Options Without Trying To Pursue Them.

Now Intelligence Seemed Quantifiable. You Could Measure Someone's Actual Or Potential Height, And Now, It Seemed, You Could Also Measure Someone's Actual Or Potential Intelligence.
