When I first came to teaching from newspapering, I assumed that the best and most
successful journalism student would be the smartest.
It didn't take many years to learn that, while smarts was important, it
wasn't at the top of the list.
The most important thing, in my opinion, is the kind of personal
courage it takes to recognize and accept the occurrence of events and the existence of
forces that run contrary to your own views.
