I really like the direction of these last couple of blogs that Phyl and you have done Pumice. Like you, I think we take for granted that people understand what we are writing about when we talk about character traits. And we're not the first to discuss these. Here are a few quotes from noted people about enthusiasm as an example, one of our key character traits. Mark Twain, "Let us endeavor to live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry." Katherine Hepburn, "Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself you had bloody well find some way that is going to be interesting." Norman Vincent Peale, "Life's blows cannot bleak a person whose spirit is warmed at the fire of enthusiasm." And Mary Kay Ash, ""Mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one." One of the things that is really setting us apart is that we do have enthusiasm...and in spite of all of the world's problems...we most keep working with enthusiasm. Anybody else want to contribute.
