An important personality trait, my opinion Options

[jgreening]

I had this thought after reading all the cry-baby threads lately and have chosen to share it.

There are a number of qualities or personality traits that people whom I admire greatly have in common. One of those qualities is the ability to gracefully address stressful situations in a productive way.

Lets deconstruct that sentence for a bit. 1. "stressful situation" - i.e. any situation where you do or SHOULD feel concerned about the outcome. 2. "address" - someone who actually engages in the issue - not simply just blows it off. 3. "productive way" - i.e. resolves the issue and maximizes the result. 4. "gracefully" - is calm, reassuring, humble, and positive in the process.

Think about the people you know who possess this ability. I would bet they are pretty good folks.
