Strength of will and stubbornness can sometimes overpower official authority, and often wins where there is no official authority.
Some people I encountered in NS have very strong characters. These people have the ability to bulldoze their way through life and remain absurdly steadfast in their stand and views even when patently wrong by contemporary standards of logic, morality or ethics.
These people may not always be well-liked by those who lack such disregard for what is right, but I have seen how such strength in character can help them get what they want or avoid what they do not want.
While I do not wish to emulate their example entirely, I believe that cultivating some of that strength in my character will help in my personal life and career in future.
In addition, erring on the side of being slightly pushy is favourable to being slightly too eager to please when the ideal compromise cannot be reached, as is often the case.
Ie. Be more thick-skinned!!!
