Welcome fine readers. Thanks for being here.
It’s all about Max Gavaskar isn’t it? I mean she rose to become the most influential person, regardless of species, in the Milky Way. Certainly as a species the Fordians of the Lors have been more engaged over the long haul but even they have not had the impact that our little Max has.
Much has been written about her insights, her exile on planet Lava and her call for peace. On the other hand she has always been a private person. She never sought out the attention. She just did a few things that caused everyone to look at her.
From her first date, where she fell into the pool, making her dress nearly invisible, to her call to peace in Estonia, she has drawn attention to her self without actually seeking attention.
I think that is some of her appeal. To my way of thinking the best leader is someone who has to be drug kicking and screaming to the stage. My friend Dorian Thain is also such a leader. He and Max share several qualities. Both are self effacing, modest and more interested in life and the experience of it than they are in influencing others and how they experience it. I have never observed either one enjoying the act of being a leader. I think both of them would have preferred to life in anonymity.
I’d say both are proud of their accomplishments. Both feel that they have done their part to improve the lives of people everywhere.
So . . . this week we’ll take a look into Max’s life. What made her tick behind the scenes. What was she doing when she wasn’t on diplomatic missions and saving the galaxy from itself?
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
