One of my favorite brand is Patagonia. The brand was started by a band of climbers & surfers. It was inspired by their minimalist/utilitarian approach to style. Founder Yvon Chouinard is a rock climber and alpinist who quickly became a trailblazer in conscious business and a hero among environmentalists. His motto is “don’t buy what you don’t need”. I think that is a refreshing and honest look at consumer culture. Most of their products made from recycled materials or raw organic cotton. The founder of Patagonia also wrote a book about his journey on building his business.

I need to improve myself to be more spontaneous and yet cautious.

On the other hand, the  example of descriptive behavior can be when someone is more calm and collected, someone who will assessed and observing the situation first before reacting.
