Hi Julie:
To me, even with experienced teachers, everyday is a new and unique opportunity to learn, expand my thinking, be open to trying new approaches and ideas. Einstein said "insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome".
I may be insane, but I do know that by not willing to try the new, I'll never get much improvement. And if it doesn't work, that'sw okay. There's always another day.
Regards, Barry
