The Klingon Way
Firstly, today I officially got handed the information to learn to be the tour guide/carriage driver at Stanley Park, I did a little womanly dance of joy by the stables when no one was looking. I feel very proud of the fact that these people, who very much know what they're doing, have been working with horses for pretty much all their lives, reckon I'm not only good enough to have learnt enough that I can move onto driving carriages already, but that I can do it. I've not had anything to do with horses before 7 days ago.
A lot of people seem to have faith in my abilities and I plan to live up to their expectations.
Also, something I was thinking about recently, how the concept of family and personal honour don't seem to be something people think about much now. I think I first really thought about it in some manner last summer. Working in the same UNIT as my parents made me more aware of wanting to make a good impression. It not only reflects on me personally, on my family and I think inevitably people will compare how I behave to people closely related to me. Not only that they've also known a long time, but also who are very good at their jobs.
I wanted to keep up the good family name. Also going abroad, your behaviour comes to represent not only yourself, but also your country of origin. Let's face it, you meet someone from another country, how they behave will affect your opinion of that country and it's citizens. It isn't fair to judge an entire society and nation by one person, but people do.
I want to make a good impression of myself and my homeland, especially since most of the official representatives i.e Tony Blaire, don't help. Littering for one thing. I don't do it my country so I sure as hell am not going to do it in someone else's. Apart from it bugging the hell out of me anyway.
The idea of Family and Personal Honour maybe ideas that a lot of people think are kind of hokey. And I don't go round thinking to myself, I must be honourable, rah, but how you conduct yourself matters. It reflects on yourself, your family and your origins.
Personally I'm proud of all of the above.
