Welcome To My Blog

If you are into talking about the Kansas City Chiefs, this is the place to be. I am Aiken_Drum and I am a Chiefaholic. If you are too, great! Let's discuss this team that we inexplicably love to follow. Don't be afraid to be critical here. Positive or negative, they are all thoughts about the Chiefs. Also, do not tell ANYBODY here that they shouldn't respond in a certain way. You don't like what they said? Just stop commenting. Be the bigger commentor.

Remaking The Kansas City Chiefs--Tenacity Or Temerity?


Tenacity is normally thought of as a desirable quality. Tenacious people, it is thought, generally get what they want because they just keep trying.  They don't get put off or discouraged no matter how many failures they encounter along the way.

Temerity, on the other hand is generally viewed as rash contemptuousness.  It's essence is that of foolhardy contempt for the consequence of a decision or action. Notice the use of the word contempt.  This is not the same thing as taking a well intentioned but uneducated swing and striking out.  This is when you intentionally piss into the wind knowing full well you're going to get it right back in your face--and still you do it anyway.
