I love to mentor students and help them to fulfill their dreams. One quote that really speaks to me is from Irvin Yalom who said “To love means to be actively concerned for the life and the growth of another”
“Practice civility toward one another. Admire and emulate ethical behavior wherever you find it. Apply a rigid standard of morality to your lives; and if, periodically, you fail as you surely will, adjust your lives, not the standards.” – Ted Koppel
“We have much to learn from lobsters. As they only shed their exoskeleton, that which may have served them well, once they experience the discomfort of a too-hardened shell. They know that the stimulus for change and growth is discomfort. Once they feel it, they must retreat to a safe place to shed and grow a new shell, over and over again throughout their lifespan.”
“I follow the Rule of the Three Rs – adhering to reason, rigor, and relationships. I see these principles being especially useful at the grand contemporary social junction where Adler’s Individual Psychology responds to a call for community actions and personal responsibility for the fate of humankind.”
