How it tends to read
The through-line is lasting victory — the win that holds because it was earned properly. Strengths commonly noted: Integrity that survives testing; Finishes what was formally undertaken; Earns trust slowly and keeps it. The corresponding costs: Rigidity where flexibility would serve; Slow to start, slower to change course; Duty crowds out spontaneity.
