Accepting our mortality and viewing this inevitable end as a guide liberates us from life’s petty dramas and the demands of our ego. Confronting the truth that death could arrive at any moment reminds us that we have no time to delay, making us realize the true value of time. When you deeply feel the relentless flow of time, seconds are no longer things to be brushed aside; they transform into irreversible masterpieces. For when living with this awareness, you no longer have any time left for falsehood or procrastination.
It is an accepted cliché in education that the number one goal of teachers should be to help students learn how to learn.
I always saw the value in that, sure. But in my mind, a better number one goal was this: I wanted to help students learn how to judge themselves.
Did they recognize their true abilities? Did they have a sense of their own flaws? Were they realistic about how others viewed them?
In the end, educators best serve students by helping them be more self-reflective. The only way any of us can improve—as Coach Graham taught me—is if we develop a real ability to assess ourselves. If we can’t accurately do that, how can we tell if we’re getting better or worse?
I want you to know I value the gift...more than I can say.
Bu hediyeye ne kadar değer verdiğimi bilmenizi istiyorum... kelimelerle ifade edemeyeceğim kadar.
Don’t go too far. But value your emotions. They are instructive and a vital principle to others.
(Aşırıya kaçma. Ama duygularına değer ver. Duygular öğreticidir ve başkaları için hayati bir kaynaktır.)
