In an age where we expect to see thousands of new programs, technologies, and systems released during the course of our lives, the ability to comfortably integrate new ideas with personal passion is an absolute necessity.

Because we must make money to support ourselves and our families (a worthy and legitimate goal), we sometimes confuse the tools that help us achieve this goal (eg., mastering customer service, spreadsheets, management techniques) with the values that feed the soul (higher order goals like self-discovery; the pursuit of beauty and truth; love).

The idea is that all aspects of business and, eventually, human life will become adaptive, dynamic entities akin to living organisms. This includes everything from the tools we use, the processes we follow, our documentation, and our WHOLE businesses. Even our literal employees.

an integral part of what drives education is a fostering of a culture that values it. In order for education to thrive and evolve, it must be part of our culture and valued by those who live in it. If not, those who try to walk the path of personal development will also become devalued and marginalized by our society.
