I often feel that I achieved literacy while getting my MA from the University of Chicago’s Divinity School where I focused on the history of Chinese religions, that I achieved numeracy while getting  my PhD from the University of Chicago in measurement, evaluation and statistical analysis, that I achieved efficacy as Director of Performance Measurement for Accenture.* As for achiing a legacy, well, that remains to be seen.
