Finding my goodness and power

[Jack_Three_Beans]

Bworl,

I was hoping not to offend you. The brainic comment was most certainly not directed at you. Yes you are intelligent but you do not sit on your laurels and just read.

A cycle exists here, and unless Frank changes something, he will be here next year in much the same spot.

In a conversation Frank mentioned that he enjoyed driving to Las Vegas, I told him to get out of his Frank Cave and drive. Hence my earlier post. His response, 20 minutes to pick up daughter.
That could have been 20 minutes of driving prior to picking up his daughter.

Given an opportunity a reticent man will find any excuse. I prefer not to provide one for him and a large book or reading list provides a great one not to leave the Frank Cave. I would rather call him to task.

He hears us, but does he listen? If you personally seek out advice aren't you required, if you agree with it, to try and put it into action? If you don't agree with it, fine, but do not give lip service or blow smoke up my orifice. Disagree with me!
Do not waste my time I am choosing to spend with you with false words.

I am by nature the Beta. I enforce the Alpha's rule. When there is no Alpha I fill in the role. By my nature, I know when there is an Alpha and Frank is not it. Not yet.

Talking about becoming the Alpha does (excuse the pun) Jack and shite. You don't become it by reading, you don't wish yourself into the role. You simply step up and do.

I don't discount the movitational aspects, I just do not want provide an excuse. I don't want anyone to provide an excuse.

Don't tell me you have a spine.
Don't tell me you are honest.
Don't tell me you respect me.

Show me.
