"[Human] history is pervaded by the question, How can I live up to my potential as a human? The question's simplicity contrasts with the complexity of the answer. Question's about living up to one's full potential are tacitly question's about happiness. The concept of happiness has always been associated with, in one way or another, the flourishing of humanity. Classical descriptions of human flourishing are often expressed in terms such as ends, means, and teleology. Ultimately, this is a discussion of what it means to be truly successful as a human being." (from Education for Human Flourishing)
All truth is God's truth. In the pursuit of fulfilling our potential and that of our subordinates we are really struggling with the issue and definition of success. Glean the truth of God in the wisdom of Wooden.
