I'm a big fan of the idea of "The Chinese individual as a process of becoming rather than as a structure of being." Even after decades, we are still becoming, we are growing and changing. I can't stress enough to myself and my students that we must always grow and change as we learn more and listen more. We can never stop learning. When we do, we die. Even as a teacher moving into my 21st year in the classroom, I feel like I am still becoming a teacher by refining my techniques and challenging myself to do things I've never done before. I know I'm becoming a husband and father throughout my marriage and throughout my children's lives. Everything we go through helps me become a better human in the various roles I play. Love this idea.
