"Plan to be Better..." and "Ancora Imparo"

“Plan to be better tomorrow than today, but don't plan to be finished.”
- Carol Ann Tomlinson

I read this quote today and believe that, in its simplicity, it encapsulates what many educational technologists want to see happen with educators today. You might be an extraordinary teacher...but you're not finished. None of us are.

Another, related phrase I've adopted recently: "Ancora Imparo" - I am still learning. (Michelangelo, Age 87)
This phrase reminds me of two things: 1) There is so much to learn that I need to keep the energy and enthusiasm to always be "still learning" and 2) I need to cut myself some slack - I can't know everything; I'm still learning!
