A Roadmap to Becoming a Sheepdog
« on: May 29, 2013, 11:44:35 AM »
There is a three part article on the Art of Manliness blog that I know many of you would be interested.  It's long but well worth the read about the sheep/wolf/sheepdog paradigm.
 
Part 1 describes the concepts of sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs: http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/05/14/are-you-a-sheep-or-sheepdog/ 

Part 2 tells us why we are hardwired to be sheep http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/05/20/are-you-a-sheep-or-sheepdog-part-ii-8-reasons-youre-hardwired-for-sheepness/

And the best part is saved for last on how to train yourself to become a sheepdog http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/05/28/are-you-a-sheep-or-sheepdog-part-iii-your-roadmap-for-becoming-a-sheepdog

Great set of articles.  Very real and not cartoonishly macho.
Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.

"We Americans have been a rebellious band of freedom loving vagabonds from the very beginning. Our freedom from the crown and tyranny would not exist had it not been for the gun. That's a tradition we like to hold on to.  The same can't be said for the rest of you 'Subjects of the Queen'."--said to a Canadian friend who just doesn't get it.
