RP this is an OLD Post, but one that just keeps giving - join in brothers and sisters!

I've got my list of (10) Things in the picture above.

What can you add to this list to describe things that take zero talent when it comes to you waking up in the morning and you decide to take on the world, the job market, your own business, and your own individual goals?

Self what can I do that doesn't take training or talent?

I can think of a lot of things but I'm 65 and retired now after Navy I drove truck for 20 years. These days it's only the urge to go to the head that gets me up then the cats have to be fed. Work hard, play hard and love Family harder. Wherever I go I always try to Smile at others and be polite to all. Some days the reactions I get are GOOD but other days it's bad.

I Smile.

Be on time. Do not lie. Give it your best shot. Volunteer for the hardest jobs. Wait to get married and have kids. I did not even look at your list. This is my list.

Many people in society can take some lessons from this picture! I teach this to my youngest who will be 18 next year and it still hasn't sunk in yet. We also need to hold people accountable to these basic standards and explain why they're important.

Ok Col Mikel Burroughs, here's my list (but these things are priceless)
1. A genuine smile 2. A warm hug 3. "Please" "thank you" "You're welcome"
4. Punctuality (if you are early, you're on time- if you're on time, you're late)
5. Appropriate attire
6. Respect (leave the trailer park there)
7. A sense of humor 8. Can laugh at oneself 9. Can take criticism 10. Takes initiative
