Maybe because there could be several people like him, or maybe he is one of a kind. He has shaped my life trough a series of uncannily perfectly timed conversations about that is most important in a life, what makes a good person, what is talent, what are good instincts. He gave me confidence by saying to me "you have good instincts," and I beleived him, then one day in Miller Hall I followed him around and saw how he loves to point to random people and say "you are doing a good job," and the confused person would say "with what?" and he would say "I'm just saying you are doing a good job." (He remarks to me that it is amazing that he hasn't been punched out yet.) So does he really think I have good instincts, or am I part of his hobby of telling random people they are doi ng a good job? And as I try to answer, I feel myself falling back to earth, realizing that the only thing I can stand on is my own opinion of myself. And I guess that my opinion is that I have good instincts. Thanks, sir, I needed that.</p> I think I know who you are talking about. Maybe because there could be several people like him, or maybe he is one of a kind.
