Incomplete Manifesto for Growth No. 1

I'm hoping to quote and then comment on each of Bruce Mau's items in his brilliant Incomplete Manifesto for Growth. Sometimes, in order to really absorb something, I just need to copy it down and repeat it to myself. Mau's manifesto is a concrete inspiration both personally and to my pedagogy.




"1.) Allow events to change you. You have to be willing to
grow. Growth is different from something that happens to you. You produce it. You live it. The prerequisites for growth: openness to experience events and the
willingness to be changed by them."


It's difficult to be open to growth. I spend a lot of time trying to keep e/thing the same. Growth is difficult and painful.
