I agree with Alon's principle of individualism:

"I do believe that we are the best evaluators of our accounts and our 
Ontology. If we manage to sincerely convince ourselves then others will 
be influenced and if not then we have done our utmost and should be 
contented, leave it be and just let it lie."

Really, how can I communicate with others if I have not my opinion which 
emerges from my unique individuality? What can I offer to them if I do 
not have anything for myself. As Alon I also do not think that "going 
inward into our personal and personality is the equivalent of 
narcissism." Contrary, it means that I am free person, who wants to do 
the best, to rejoice at myself if I have done the right; who wants to 
sorrow over myself if I have made a mistake. (Fichte, 1956, p. 38) My 
first intention should not be to convenience others but myself. If I try 
to preach with intention to persuade others that my way of thinking is 
the only right, it really could lead to the ill pedagogy. But what if my 
words, feelings and actions find resonance in other person(s)? What if I 
influenced somebody else? Is it the end of story and fulfilment of my 
duty in all its aspects? I do not think so. For me it could be the 
beginning of cooperation, friendship, love ... action research. But for 
cooperation, friendship, love ... action research have to be present at 
least two persons who freely and passionately accept to be involved. It 
is not just theoretical consideration but first of all practical 
activity where they use all their human strengths.

I also agree with Samia's statement:
"No one will tell you how except you who would have analysed the 
different changes happenning to you as you mature and change in your 
career. You then tend to produce a living educational theory."
I would like to add that I do not see myself as alone persons on that 
journey. I would like to share my ongoing ideas, problems, reflection, 
feelings, and educational theory with my friends and associates who 
freely want to cooperate with me on realisation of shared values. In 
that sense it is not only my individual responsibility but it is our 
shared responsibility. But it does not mean I lose my individuality and 
individual responsibility for my personal development and for 
realisation of educational theory, or there exists abstract shared 
responsibility which is opposite to individual responsibility. I find my 
individual contribution as realisation of my social nature in Marx's 
sense of word:
"Therefore, the social character is the universal character of the   
whole movement; as society itself produces man as man,   so it is 
produced by him. Activity and mind are social   in their content as well 
as in their origin; they are social   activity and social mind. The 
human significance of nature only exists for social man, because only in 
this case is nature a bond with other men, the basis of his existence 
for others and of their existence for him. Only then   is nature the 
basis of his own human experience and a   vital element of human 
reality. The natural existence of   man has here become his human 
existence and nature   itself has become human for him. Thus society is 
the   accomplished union of man with nature, the veritable   
resurrection of nature, the realized naturalism of man and the realized 
humanism of nature."   (Marx, 1961, p. 129)
"Even when I carry out scientific work, etc. an activity which I can 
seldom conduct in direct association with   other men, I perform a 
social, because human, act. It is   not only the material of my activity 
-- such as the language itself which the thinker uses -- which is given 
to me   as a social product. My own existence is a social activity.   
For this reason, what I myself produce I produce for  society, and with 
the consciousness of acting as a social being."  (Marx, 1961, p. 130)
