No one pushes my sister by telling her what to do. She often has what I consider to be brilliant ideas that are elegant in their simplicity. What she takes as obvious, many of us see as something like genius. And, yes, she's a big-time problem solver. About her neglecting her physical and mental health, I can only wonder that this is part of the way she functions in the best possible way for her. It's a huge blind spot that I believe many people who approach life in the way that she does suffer from.

She acquired her professional status and achievements without the benefit of a complete liberal college education. Never studied banking or business. She taught herself to speak French, and studied philosophy on her own after having had a good experience with a philosophy professor...and with a little prodding from her brother. She's been to Paris several times, and has offered her expertise in setting up itineraries for people making their first trip.

I'm happy that things are going well with her so far.
