Excellence, then, i..."We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." Aristotle<BR/><BR/>So here is my explanation for why you were in the classroom mere days after surgery. You simply are not ever NOT a teacher. I've seen you in action, remember, seen your great mastery of the duet played between those who teach and those who learn, and witnessed your deep affection for your students and your fretfulness over whether you've reached them, whether they've "gotten it."<BR/><BR/>And I don't mean just the law students and the freshmen in enrolled classes--I'm talking about the great flow of humanity that you touch--the attendees at leadership seminars, the lawyers at ethics CLE sessions, the friends who come to you for advice and solace--is there anyone who has ever fallen within your orbit that HASN'T learned something deep and meaningful from you?<BR/><BR/>No mere brain tumor could ever stop such a force of nature.Big Sishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10644551937494962842noreply@blogger.com
