Touching Lives with Life
If you want students to build a ship, motivate them to long for the endless sea. If I want the students to commit to service, I can’t just tell them to be kind. I have to let them stand in places where suffering and resilience meet, so they can decide what kind of dentist — and what kind of person — they want to become.
