Aspire to Inspire

The seed of greatness lies in each
of us.
Its cultivation is the labor of a
lifetime.
And yet...from the moment we are
born, we inherit a gift so profound, so extraordinary, that it should never be
taken for granted.
This gift is simply our ability to
learn or to understand something today which we did not fathom the day before.
In short, we are able to learn...and
through learning, we open the doors to our most daring dreams.
--Lost in Learning, by Eva Koleva Timothy
I have long believed and taught that the beginning of any great education is falling deeply in love with learning.
The other side of this same coin is that great teaching is a matter
of truly inspiring students to love what they learn and learn what they
love.
Interestingly, however, many adults who find these ideas convincing
and even obvious when applied to children and youth struggle to relate
the same principles to themselves.
Perhaps their experience in school is
too fresh or too deeply engrained, or maybe they simply don't see the
relevance of adult education right now.
Whatever the reason, while many adults have caught the vision of
feeling truly inspired to get a much greater education themselves, there
are a number of others who seem content to just focus on the education
of their children.
