Confident, kind, direct, capable, and loving. I don't know if I'm there yet. But I'm trying.

Just by saying that you want to be like that, already makes you the best version of yourself right now.

As to your question: a lot...the character(s), not the person behind it (I didn't knew him personally). Like all characters in all trek. In an evil capitalist hellhole-world, this stupid silly utopia, where people exist to better themselves, is still a refreshing and creative take. A dream how humanity COULD be but never won't be.
