"I was not upset, because I cared more about results then recognition." -- Captain Abrashoff
Abrashoff had just received a mediocre performance rating. The reason was that he'd pointed out a shortcoming of his ship -- one that all ships in the fleet were suffering, but not speaking up about. In the short run, he was unjustly deemed to be inferior since his ship's flaws stood out above the others. At the same time, he could openly move to correct them, and in time his ship outperformed all others.
In time, results beat appearance.
