The Power of Self Discipline - Part 2
1. Three people, living or dead, I admire. And one quality each
- Robin Hood. Admittedly, he is (largely) fictional, but I admire him greatly. He was virtuously cunning.
- My uncle. He is wise. Like my grandfather was, and like how I hope to be.
- Hard to pin down the last one. Storytellers who spin something amazing out of resistance. Nalo Hobkinson. Tracy Chapman (often). John Varley (sometimes). Bruce Sterling (sometimes).
I really don't have many concrete role models. Robin Hood was the one who came to mind the strongest. This shows an odd disconnect from the real.
2. The virtue I strive to practice or emulate
- Resistance. The unwavering ability to stick to principles.
3. When do I feel the most confident; like the best person I could be
- When I just gave a speech to an audience.
4. What situations make me feel the greatest self-esteem or personal worth
- Applause. The admiration of the group.
5. What would a junxi version of me do differently from today
- She would spend more time on concrete punditry.
6. What quality would I like to be known for, and how could I make this happen?
- Speaking truth to power. Delivering an honest, resonating and actionable critique of the status quo.
7. Where do I need to demonstrate more truthfulness and integrity?
- My own work habits.
