Some of the historical figures that come to mind are Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, and Victoria Woodhull. I love women with an agenda. Persistence, honesty, and humility. Honesty may not always get you what you want, but I believe it should be a core value in all aspects of life. And humility is self-explanatory.
Arrogance tends to alienate others.
I ve been working on discrimination clauses within the Senate and was previously fired up about it. When I decided to take a step back from it all and not take it quite so personally, my bill passed with ease. The message I received was that passion can facilitate change, but it can also be a hinderance. It s true that people are more responsive to rational thought than emotional thought, even if the emotion is rational. Remember you re replaceable while remembering you re not.
