Un

"Un".

It dawns my me that this is the prefix that sets enterprenerial behavior apart from practiced behavior.

How so?

As in uncertain, unknown, unreliable, unexplored.

Uncomfortable.

This last one is a true demarkation.

We who teach from deeply-grooved, well practiced syllabi and methods are comfortable.

So, it seems, are student comforted by common practices (quizzes, mid-term, final, term paper, presentations).

Yet, where is the powerful fresh learning for us and them?

In that imposing "Land of Un".

I go there rather often, bringing my students with me. There is a reward. It stops being Un and becomes another thing and place we know.

Are you one who visits Un as a teacher and scholar?
