Hi Danny:
Using a business edxample is a good idea. When students can picture themselves as succesful workers in their chosen profession they are much more likely to want participate in their studies.

I look at it from the point of being a happy and sucessful employee or owner of a business. Meaning, enjoying my job, mastering whatever my skill is and supporting myself.
Hi Ronald:
Good thoughts! We do have other younger generations coming up behind us. Hopefully, we can teach in such a manner that we inspire for greater achievements and outcomes for our students. That's how progress will be made, and ultimately, the real test of how effective we've been in our responsibilities.

Barry,
To me the goal of educating students is to bring forward the next generation of skilled worker to replace me. I don't want them to have to redo all the mistakes I made to this point in my career. I want them to be able to take what I have learned and go beyond. What I have acquired is but a stepping stone to the future and I can forsee greater things in the evolution of technology within my field.
