Why I admire him.........................................
An insatiably curious approach to life and an unrelenting quest for continuous learning.
A commitment to test knowledge through experience, persistence, and a willingness to learn from mistakes.
The continual refinement of the senses, especially sight, as the means to enliven experience
A willingness to embrace ambiguity, paradox, and uncertainty
The development of the balance between science and art, logic and imagination. “Whole-brain” thinking.
The cultivation of grace, ambidexterity, fitness, and poise.
A recognition of and appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things and phenomena. Systems thinking.
