The Instructor's Paradox

The instructor's paradox is this:

You will spend your entire life pouring your heart into others, striving to bring them to their personal perfection and inspiring them to grow beyond their imagination.

Day and night you obsess over figuring out how to make them surpass you. 

You will simultaneously spend your entire life striving for your own personal perfection, searching for that next step to bring yourself closer to a goal that can never be attained.

Day and night you toil to avoid being surpassed by those you love to inspire.
