Virtue #2 - Action

Mireles goes on to describe the second Warrior Virtue, Action.  A true Warrior acts in the face of danger, regardless of what that danger might be.  It could be anything from a violent situation in school to a task that will divert your attention from what you want to do.  In any case, a person with a warrior mindset doesn't procrastinate.  Procrastinate is another way of saying 'lazy'.  Warriors will do what needs to be done.

Action is not the same as busy work.  A lawyer friend of Mireles' said, "Never confuse action with results."  For the warrior, and for the master teacher, actions must be toward a valued end.  Thus, action is tied in with discipline.  This makes your actions effective, which will make effective results.

A warrior also does not tell others to do a job he or she wouldn't do themselves.  Take responsibility for your actions, and you'll gain the respect of your peers.
