quo+es: Second-Handers

Second-Handers: They don't live from the joy that comes through achieving what they value for it's own sake. Instead, they live secondhand from the compliments of others. They have one eye on their action and one on their audience. We simply do not admire second-handers. We admire people who are secure and composed enough that they don't need to shore up their weaknesses and compensate for their deficiencies by trying to get compliments.
