Potential New Logo Update. My last name is 潘 “Pan,” but the 元 “Yuan” is the Chinese character unique to my name. Growing up, my Mom would explain how 元 meant “number one” or “first place.” In the days of Chinese emperors, there would be an annual Imperial Examination. Local province tests would culminate to a national test. When the dust settled, the highest honors would be awarded to the 狀元 “zhuàng yuán” - the top scholar or “champion.” With the title and rewards came an advisor role to the emperor, an immense privilege and honor. While I grew up as the youngest of three siblings, my Mom and Dad wanted to empower me with the belief that I could become the best. It wasn’t until much later in life did I realize the narrative they had created for me, from Day 1, helped side-step many so many limiting beliefs. My parents gave me an injection of self-confidence and self-efficacy, and from Mom’s limitless reservoir of patience and encouragement, I have rarely felt like anything is impossible. - I have since come to interpret 元 as my approach to becoming the best, but not in a predetermined competition with anyone else. Rather, I see it as a reminder to achieve my own personal best, an idea I often share with my students. You are simply competing to achieve a better version of “you” from the day before. Hope this symbols serves as a reminder to always keep moving forward, “2 steps forward, 1 step back,” or “3 steps forward, 1 step back.” Offer your best effort. Elevate yourself and those around you. Think and perform with a 元 mindset.

😌 I remember being blown away the first time she made a cube by herself. I also distinctly remember the first time she made an original structure. Everything else up to that point had been her imitating something we’d shown her. Since then, playing with these tiles has introduced many life lessons to her. For example, the bitter taste of the intended structure crumbling to pieces before completion. She would get so angry. Now, she just regroups and tries again. We’ve learned that failure is a necessary part of the process for learning. To iterate on the previous design is where we experience progress, and if we persevere, what follows is the sweet, sweet taste of success. Tonight’s build, our tallest yet, came after two failed attempts. She’s come a long since her first cube! 👌 What I’ve learned from her: the unconventional choice can turn out to be the most interesting part of the design (her little side extension near the top). It’s not about making a right or wrong choice, but the willingness to explore and not be restricted by “what you can or can’t do.” Cherishing this time where she still wants to hang with her Dad 😊😘

What content creator business meetings look like from this side of the smartphone 😎 Working and hanging with my PIC, @karldrumtech #marchingpercussion #percussioncommunity #drumlineblueprint

Lunch date with my ladies @eatnorthitalia ♥️

Walking by UCLA Medical Center, where both our kids were born. Much appreciation for the staff, nurses, and doctors that work here and continue to take such great care of us!

Good morning, who’s ready to crush this week? #santamonica
