"The only measure of what you believe is what you do. If you want to know what people believe, don't read what they write, d on't ask them what they believe, just observe what they do." Ashley Montagu | We know how committed we are by our actions. If you want something badly enough, you will work for it. Conduct yourself professionally, do your assignments, challenge yourself in choice of material, devote real time to its analysis and rehearsal, and you will progress past what you expect. Just hang in there. Your abilities will grow faster and your work will become deeper if you honor material that moves you. I appreciate your commitment to your own growth. I am committed to it. The teacher and the taught become the teaching. "The brick walls are there for a reason... to show us how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other people. "  Randy Pausch, author of The Last Lecture |
