More aspirations

From this piece some descriptive words that I aspire to.

"The most important sidearm a bodyguard carries is a cellphone to confer with an associate about, say, traffic conditions on the route ahead. Similarly, training in firearms is less useful than training in CPR and other emergency treatment. "In the corporate arena, the client is probably going to die as the result of a heart attack rather than a terrorist attack," says Fitzgibbons.

The temperament of a good bodyguard is that of a calm, patient, Type B companion, happy to remain in the client's shadow while methodically worrying about everything from loose stair railings to dire conspiracies. If the client is traveling from his hotel to an office building across town for a meeting, the bodyguard scouts the route in advance, checking for choke points, looking for a side entrance to the building through which to slip unnoticed, arranging with the superintendent to have an elevator set aside during the visit."

I've thrived in such roles in the past...I'll stay out of the lime light, get things done and avoid the whole credit taking scene.
