Hi Daniel;
===========================================
You said something of great importance that few people pay attention too. But you left out one thing. These people never quit or are they swayed by the nay sayers. They always look forward even in times of trouble,and self questioning they hang on to the vision and they will get on their soapbox even when criticised. People with vision are not easilly swayed
===========================================
You're very right.
The funny thing is, people who are driven by their convictions don't stop to think about whether they should quit or whether they can be swayed.
Aristotle said;
"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.
We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly.
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."
We are what we repeatedly do.
That sentence is omnipotent - at least in the right hands. And thus;
Inspirational people inspire.
Liars lie.
Cheaters cheat.
Whiners whine.
Disrespectful people disrespect.
Hurtful people hurt.
Helpful people help.
Rebels rebel, and...
Misfits don't fit into the mold.
Telling them to stop being who they are would be like telling them to stop breathing and try something else for a change.
