Well, I seem I have misunderstood, I thought she was speaking of prior knowledge to their bloodline, which is what I was referring to, of course through our time together we got to know each other better and I got to trust both of them. I even let them feed my dear Astro, can you tell how tight we got? Archy winked at Tyrion before he continued However, thank you for putting me back on track. Of course to each his own, but I believe that those 2 positions are very vital to the family, that some leaders would prefer the tight boundaries or relationships to hard work, but in some cases for the best of the business you chose the ones that work hardest and will benefit the family most or that's the way I see it. |

I've never understood why hard work gets pushed aside so easily. What benefit is there to working hard for your leader if they just pick their tight relationships? |

Yes, you do seem to have trouble understanding that Melis. You see, the tight relationships you speak of.. they work hard too. Very hard, usually. In fact, normally in my experience they work harder than anyone else because of that relationship, which is why it makes them a perfect fit to be by your side. I know its hard to imagine that someone can be both a trusted friend and a hard worker, but it happens. |

Yes well in some cases that may be true. I know that is not every case and there are exceptions to everything. There are different situations and different views of every situation I suppose. |

How can you expect there to be a clean slate with all the relationships stuff coming into play? I honestly don't think you can. It seems a bit far fetched which is where people believe that because of their parents, uncles, brothers, cousins etc that they should hold the same weight. There is no way to balance something like that properly. There will always be exceptions by someone at some point in time. As for hard work this can be argued both ways. First it can be argued that everyone should be working hard. It's true that if this was the case it would certainly benefit the family. It can be argued that hard work will gain you positions. Now on the flip side we have heard that hard work doesn't necessarily get you anywhere. You could be one of the hardest working people and still not rise up. Instead you could watch your leader's best friend rise up instead because that's who they trust more than their hard workers. And yes some friends will work hard for their friend leader and others will just ride the coat tails because they can. There are always two sides of the coin. You will not get everyone to agree with just one side of the coin because as always there have been sightings of both instances in our community. If one is remembered more dominantly in memory then it is the side of the coin you are most likely going to argue. |

I'd say that there is a fine balance between trust and hard work, the percentages of the two would depend on the leader I guess. |
