So I've gotten into UBC and UNB so far; big decisions ahead. This is how a New York lawyer recently described narcissism in the American Law Profession:
“Narcissism breeds incivility and vice. Behavioral scientists derive this label from Greek mythology’s young Narcissus gazing pleasurably at his own reflected self. A narcissistic person is essentially stunted in emotional growth: he wants it when he wants it and he wants it now. For short, he is a “nacre”. Our society has more narces today than at any other time in our history. In the last decade narces have infused their narrow notions of preoccupations with self, eschewing concern for others and long-range vision. They substitute adrenaline for judgment.”
Yikes!
The thing is that I'm not a Type-A personality at all. I hope this works out.
