TACT THRU STRENGTH -
"We should be sensible, tactful, considerate and humble without being servile or scraping. ... we stand on our feet; we don't crawl before anyone. If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are halfway through." (The Big Book, p. 83)
WE STAND UP AND TELL IT LIKE IT IS -
"Strong, confident, and well-rounded people have formed values and principles to live by and believe deeply in their rightness. Such people live what they believe and share those beliefs with others in a non-critical way when asked." (It Works, How and Why, p. 45)
"This is for all of those still in the military who are languishing - not able to come out to themselves ... so I hope that this really stiffens their spines"
West Point Grad., Lt. Dan Choi (1981 - ) Response to the end of Don't Ask, Don't Tell - 12/18/10
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
