1: Work ethic, work until the job is done,even if it takes more.time than expected, without complaint.
2: Be prepared to wait. You get paid whether you are actively working or just waiting, so wait patiently.
3: It is better to be early & wait than late & unemployed. If you tend toward late, set your clock forward, or schedule as if everything starts 20 minutes before it actually does.

chain of command for one, and not my kids but at work and worst of all my VFW post. Also Communication! (both places again!) tell people what you are going to do, dont leave a poo poo trail for them to follow and hope they can, or worse hold it and leave no trail LOL.

Responsibility and punctuality. "If you're on time, you're late." I still show up to doctor's appts at least 15 early, sometimes I even get to see them earlier as a "reward".

I learned to believe in myself; that I can do more than I thought I could. That's something worthy of passing on.
I won't mention those OTHER traits, that should not be passed on. There are always some of those...

I want to add: People are not what they at first seem. Fortunately, most are much more and bettrer. Some, sadly, are worse. But all my shipmates deserve respect, just some more than others. Your life depends on you and them doing your jobs well, so help them achieve. A little scepticism is wise, but don't overdo it.

A tale to illustrate the above: I interacted a few times with a Philipino yard worker, on electrical work for my vessel. He could not communicate all that well, so my first impression was that he was stupid. I soon came to realize that he was actually pretty sharp, just coukldn't speak English too well. That was an eye-opener that changed everything, and things went well afterward. A lesson with broader application.
