Aunt Peggy standing next to JFK.
-
As a kid, that was pretty cool.
-
But, it was a lot to live up to.
-
Which is why I never told anyone we were related.
-
I asked her once
-
how she managed to master diplomacy and espionage
-
in a time when no one wanted to see a woman succeed at either.
-
She said, compromise where you can.
-
But where you can't, don't.
-
Even if everyone is telling you
-
that something wrong is something right.
-
Even if the whole world is telling you to move.
