Recently I asked my 'students' to respond to Dr. Melvin's Fitz theory, witch is idea of conceptual learning. After the last couple of weeks, this theory has become more apparent in my life. People have desire, but few have perseverance. Some times I am envious, and wish I didn't have such acclaimed attributes.
I dwell on what a life lead in such a manner might be like. But much more often I'm contemplating the most efficient way to diminish my imperfections. 'Giving up' always seems to be the most appealing, and yet.. it's always my last resort. What my student's seemed to miss when I asked for their response was that I was asking for them to look at life in (as Kezzy would put it) in retrospect.
In retrospect, life's ambitions must be pursued with humility. In retrospect, passion will never lead you wrong. In retrospect every one is naive, ignorant, intolerant, and incompetent. And in retrospect, "practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect." -Elite Tumbling. To reiterate the cold hard monopoly fact of life; it sucks. There is always uncertainty, however conceptional learning is essential to forward motion. So never surrender to the fear of uncertainty, rather take the bitterness of life and sweeten it with benefit of boldness and humanity. Drape yourself in dignity.
