Aloha Charles,

Insightful response! Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much — Hawai’ian style) for sharing your hard-earned wisdom.

Ironically, the class you float (above) happens daily for me. Over the past 12 years spanning over 275K students — the discussion I invite students to have is — with themselves — first. Civil discourse requires a discipline to release judgment. To journey to release judgment — has proven for me — one of the most reward Teachers I’ve come to know. The more I release a craving to analyze replacing it with a two-year-old’s capacity to explore — the more I fry my internal judge. Fascinating to watch — to say the least!

May you allow yourself a moment to savor the positive impact you had, have and will have on those who choose to embrace your wit and wisdom.
