ORIGINAL: SuaveGentleman I know this notion is all but too common in literature, but truly, do you feel good dominants are good leaders? (The opposite obviously would be a poor generalization). By leadership I dont mean a position or stature of corporate or social significance. I mean the skills to keep one's calm in the face of adversity, to be able to steer oneself and others out of troubled situations, to be able to guide, nurture and coach others without any expectations of collateral gain. What do your experiences say? Would you board a tall ship with a captain that was passive and indecisive? Circumnavigating on a tall ship is much like life... there are hazards, rewards, glorious horizons, and nightmare seas. The weak and indecisive sink, the strong and wise reap the rewards... Ad Victorem Spolias. One can decry "I iz dominate, here me ror!" all day, while looking for an /s to fix their banjanxed life, and they can label themselves as such... and always will. However, when looking for leadership and dominance, you seek the ship you want to board, not the one you need to fix... broken ships tend to sink. I have an awesome life because I make good choices, have a singularity of focus when improving my life, and don't allow anyone on my ship that cannot follow or obey. I work very hard to have this life and it is "mastery" of self; discipline and insurmountable self control that makes my life good. Ad Victorem Spolias, I am the victor of my life and reap the rewards ;) Jus sayin
