often substitutes for both.John Andrew Holmes

Most people are in favor of progress; it’s the changes they don’t like.

TrepidationTrepidation
It's not so much that we're afraid of change or so in love with the old ways,
but it's that place in between that we fear . . . . It's like being between trapezes. It's Linus when his blanket is in the dryer.
There's nothing to hold on to.Marilyn Ferguson

QuandaryQuandary
Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for
things to remain the same but get better.Sydney J. Harris

You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.

PerspectivePerspective
The challenge is for us to see beyond the innumerable fragments to the whole,
stepping back far enough to appreciate how things move and change as a coherent entity.
Margaret Wheatley

A system is a network of interdependent components that work together to try to
accomplish the aim of the system. A system must have an aim. Without the
aim, there is no system.W. Edwards Deming

Evaluation of the WholeEvaluation of the Whole
Method consists of two correlative and complementary processes: 1) Analysis 1) Analysis
of complex totalities into their parts; and 2) Synthesis 2) Synthesis of parts into their totality.
However, the two processes by themselves are imperfect and require each other for the full development of
knowledge and understanding.Joseph L. Esposito

1) Functions as an indicator of educational quality and effectiveness by which institutions are evaluated; and
2) Provides guidance for continuous improvement.
