>> I would say, looking at -- watching the hundreds of corps members I've watched,
the probably number one thing is keeping a strong positive outlook.
Being able to -- regardless of the challenge, being able to look at any challenge
as an opportunity, being able to see something and be able to focus and remain calm and look
at your assets, and acknowledge that you have deficits, or acknowledge that there are things
that are going to be tough but focusing on your solution.
So being solutions-oriented, being positive and optimistic, that will get you through
and really support success in anything.
After that, I would say a strong perseverance, you know, just diligence,
being able to work -- you have to work really hard.
There's no shortcut.
You just have to work really hard.
But always looking for the positive in things because, when it gets tough,
there will always be a lot of people venting and there will be many moments of realization of,
"Wow, it's pretty obvious why there's an achievement gap."
And there is a lot to complain about and a lot to get negative about,
and there will always be negative things around you.
So being able to stay positive and influence positivity in others.
