Although it was probably already in my nature, my tendency to boat rocking was certainly reinforced by my father's & sister's influence. My upbringing emphasized & underscored the importance of knowing what mattered to you & sticking to it.
That is not a quality designed for winning great success or financial rewards. People prefer those who calm troubled waters, not try to teach folks to surf.
Hmmm.... Interesting thought. It's never felt like I was one to stir up placid waters; my focus is on helping others ride whatever waves come their way. But it means they have to get wet & become familiar with their environment, have a well-designed board, learn how to maintain balance, and come back up unscathed if they do get tossed off. And that's way more than a lot of people want to risk.
