My self is: Developed through my internal reflections and through my interactions with the world, simultaneously. My grand objective is: Teach to Learn to Learn to Teach. Therefore as an administrator, professor, teacher, and writer, I always learn by listening and by responding through the full use of my mind and through the full use of all my "5" senses. In a professional capacity as a worker, as a colleague, as a person: I believe that my mistakes strengthen the bone of what I do. I believe that my work should serve others as well as the self. I believe that true teams built on mutual respect encourage open dialogue and encourage members to tell each other when he or she disagrees. I believe that true teams spark creative, insightful, and valuable ideas and programs through "communicative action" to steal Jurgen Habermas' now famous phrase. I believe that change necessarily is as T.S. Eliot wrote, "The still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;/ Neither from nor towards…/ neither arrest nor movement.”
