Good. Noted. ~Jocko Willink
YouTube suggested some videos by former Navy Seal and motivational podcaster, @jockowillink.
A short yet powerful video I watched was entitled “Good” https://youtu.be/IdTMDpizis8 and the gist is that when things go bad—good. Short of saying that there is always something good when things go bad. And that the mere fact that one can utter “good” means that one is still alive and have the opportunity to get up, dust off, and recalibrate.
Related to this, I briefly scrolled down and the cover photo of an episode 3 weeks ago had the word “Betrayal” https://youtu.be/kGCGEWKGTOs and what I learned is that regardless of the nature of the wrongdoing, one can state “noted” to oneself. Jocko does mention that if the betrayal is something that involves liability then it should be elevated to authorities. But if it’s something that you can let go of then you can say “noted.” That’s my take on betrayal.
A few posts ago, on hindsight—I should have started a formal process—there really should have been repercussions. That was probably the correct way and would be akin to respecting the integrity of science. But it’s not an isolated case and unfortunately, many people do similar acts and get away with it repeatedly. Again, if careers and lives are at stake and I can swallow the little pride I have that’s been trampled on (despite the other person’s absolute and complete disregard for my career and intellectual property), what I can say is “noted.” Your devious character: noted. Will trust be regained: slim to no chance. Will I remain professional: always have and always will. Noted. I stand up, dust myself, and recalibrate. Good.
