In childhood, my super power was watching other people and studying their behaviors and outcomes. I avoided a ton of trouble that way.

In early adulthood, I would seek out people who had achieved what I wanted to achieve so I could implement years of experience immediately.

I think my super power in this era of my life is aggressive accountability. I'm quite rigid and ruthless about it. I try to be a role model in this way, especially with the younger professionals I encounter in healthcare. I don't let them get away with choosing to have low standards. I'll go to war on doing things correctly because lives are impacted. It's rare, but we've had to weed out dangerous apples before.

I hope all of this leads to me being a wise old man who can guide the next generations. That's how I see my life playing out at least. We need lots of men like that in the world, in my opinion. Especially in the coming years. Things will get wild.
