By the time I knew her, she had been teaching for 20 years, and she knew that she would never be able to totally change her students into model Chinese. She did try to help us see her point of view. <BR/><BR/>In the West, we're trained to fight windmills, and I think there is a time and a place for such a spirit. My teacher understood Western culture and just tried to help us see that there is always a different way to look at things.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831169405732892599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607441034503290367.post-62932618467319788362009-03-15T22:29:00.000-07:002009-03-15T22:29:00.000-07:00Very interesting. your posts always make me think....Very interesting. your posts always make me think.

I'm not sure about the latest round of madness that I got hit with in Saturday's mail, but I guess we'll get through it.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831169405732892599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607441034503290367.post-2235575373646387822009-03-15T13:16:00.000-07:002009-03-15T13:16:00.000-07:00What an interesting story.

It took me a long time to accept that there are some things I can't control, like whether or not someone will buy my books. Being in the middle of both Eastern and Western philosophies is probably a good place most of the time. I think you've handled the recent disruptions in your life very well and with great wisdom.Linda McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15291670592316021851noreply@blogger.com
