For him many issues are black and white, right or wrong. He has somewhat softened in this view a little after his training with some of the great masters of the martial arts.

Perhaps maintenance of aim. Once something enters his sphere of attention it's hard for it to ever leave. He is a man who might well be aware and considering many things at once, but he often seems to key on one particular topic, or person, or action and gives it the entirety of his attention, which is considerable. Often times small things like food and sleep fall by the wayside, but such is his focus. |
