Heroes, Friends and Personal Pride

Will you tell me the truth about yourself if I let you do it from behind a mask?

I'm collecting impressions today and I'm willing to share my collected data with you. My hope is that we'll both will get a glimpse into how we measure ourselves, our friends, and our heroes.

Want to give it a try?

Which of the following characteristics do you most admire? Which trait is number two?

Physical Ability
Outstanding athletes, highly skilled tradesmen, the marksman who can hit a target from a great distance.

Physical Appearance
Persons with striking features, enhanced by hairstyle, clothing and the way they move.

Financial Achievement
Successful entrepreneurs, savvy investors, wealth creators.

Intellectual Prowess
Geniuses, bestselling authors, Nobel and Pulitzer prize winners, persons with advanced degrees.

Spiritual Clarity
Inner confidence, people who know who they are and what they believe and are willing to identify themselves as such. (Can be religious or non-religious)

Famous Name
Distinguished by birth, relationship, or any other achievement. Recognized around the world for who they are.

Now before you go to the survey landing page and rank these six in the order of their relative importance to you, I want to remind you that your anonymity is guaranteed. It's going to be fun. It's going to be enlightening. I promise.

Immediately upon ranking your sixth and final characteristic, the website will tell you what percentage of the population sees as you do.

Soon I'll tell you exactly how you and I are going to use this information.

Thanks for coming out to play when I called your name.

Ciao for Niao,

Roy H. Williams

Random Quote:

“In James Michener’s 937-page epic novel, Hawaii, (1959) we hear rip-roaring, red-blooded, hell-raising, whaling captain Rafer Hoxworth tell his favorite grandson, ‘…what a man’s got to discover is that there’s no gain in loving a particular woman, it’s the idea of woman that you’re after.’

Three pages later, at the exact tipping point of this 937-page book, we read the conclusion of the old man’s instructions. “There was a moment of silence, and then Rafer said, ‘When Noelani’s mother died, she weighed close to four hundred pounds. Your great-grandmother. And every day her husband crawled into her presence on his hands and knees, bringing her flower chains. That’s a good thing for a man to do.’

A few hundred pages later in that same book we read of a pivotal moment in the life of Rafer Hoxworth’s grandson’s grandson, ‘…and as the palms toward the shore dipped toward the lagoon, Hoxworth Hale had a strikingly clear intuition: ‘From now on whenever I think of a woman, in the abstract… of womanliness, that is… I’ll see this brown-skinned Bora Bora girl, her sarong loosely about her hips, working coconut and humming softly in the shadowy sunlight. Has she been here, under these breadfruit trees, all these  last empty years?” And he had a second intuition: that during the forthcoming even emptier years, she would still be there, a haunting vision of the other half of life, the womanliness, the caretaking symbol, the majestic, lovely, receptive other half.”
