In a race, the distance is fixed and we measure how much time it takes for each competitor to complete the course.
However this class is not a race. The time is fixed; we have a predetermined number of moments together. It is the distance that needs to be measured, and there are no limits to how far we can go!
So lets embark on this journey together and develop our character, augment our knowledge, win awards, receive grants, earn money and always make the world a better place every step of the way.
If I do not challenge you, I have failed you.
There is growth in pain. This applies in the gym, in the classroom and in your personal life. Pain is an inevitable part of the human experience and it will happen during our time together.
How you deal with stress, ethical dilemmas and challenging situations is a better predictor of your future success than any test I can make you write.
