Compassion means recognizing myself in the other and the other in myself, including others that are not human. Context is everything; stay cognizant of the environment. I am one part of the whole world, and we all invent our perceptions. It's important to hear what was really said. Be supportive and helpful. It's important to protect, understand and enjoy the planet's water, ecosystems, communities, and microbiology.

Integrity means living up to my principles. Are my actions consistent with my intent? Are my decisions supported by evidence? Personal integrity includes maintenance, hygiene, and courtesy.

Intelligence means:

• paying attention, both globally and to detail.
• skill at solving problems.
• knowledge about the world.
• subject matter expertise.
• skill with tools, and with languages.

Communication means expression and persuasion. Experience speaking in public. Initiate, negotiate and close sales. Connect with people.

Competence means ability to take care of myself, and take care of others. Stick the landing financially, in negotiations, in emergencies, and in avoiding emergencies.

Generosity means willingness to give and share. Give more than enough to cover the need.

Frugality means living "Lean". Reduce, reuse, repair, and recycle in order to make the most of resources. Always look to reduce waste, and try to dispose of garbage without polluting the world.

Creative artists generate concepts and material. I feel strong when I indulge my senses of aesthetics, and of hedonism, and when I laugh. Study design. Look for synthesis, explore subjects, try different combinations, and commit to completion.

Research for data, then gather tools and resources to realize projects. Accomplishments are interesting when they improve how people live on the planet and deal with each other.

May I be peaceful and without anger; free from attachment and generous.
