<p>Well, it seems we're doing it for other short takes and they've been interesting to read so far, so what did you guys put for qualities you admire? :)</p>
<p>I put: Kindness and passion. If someone lacks kindness, all his other qualities mean little. If he lacks passion, he is not being kind to himself.</p>
<ol>
<li>How some people can nearly always make people laugh and feel better</li>
<li>The ability to consistently make wise, reasonable decisions</li>
</ol>
<p>Those are nice choices, Eiffel. I think it’s good when the two are related in some way.</p>
<p>I chose determination and resourcefulness. I wrote little blurbs for each but I can’t remember what they are. :P</p>
<p>Thanks, Redmondo! I’d like to read your blurbs if you ever remember them. </p>
<p>I like yours too, yoda!</p>
<p>ability to smile sincerely and engage in playful banter</p>
<p>Nooo, I should’ve wrote blurbs. 
I just put the 2 qualities down. Oh well, less for them to read. </p>
<p>Audacity and sincerity</p>
<p>Open-mindedness and argumentative precision.</p>
<p>Cheerfulness and eloquence.</p>
<p>Passion and determination? Too serious?</p>
<p>Haha, those are just two qualities I admire, I’m not applying to college this year.</p>
<p>ambition and integrity :)</p>
<p>Something about people having the vision and initiative to pursue their goals or something.</p>
<p>yes, ambition is a good quality in my opinion.</p>
<p>I wrote that I admire people who are intelligent, but don’t feel the need to announce their intelligence to everyone within earshot.</p>
<p>patience and understanding…because I lack them both</p>
<p>Blind belief where it isn’t ignorance but an increasingly uncommon trust.
Inquisitiveness/exacting examination</p>
<p>I think I liked the first one so much because I just watched Mr Smith Goes to Washington. “All the good that ever came into this world came from fools with faith.”</p>
<p>BAMFs: there are few at Yale but are much appreciated</p>
<p>It never fails to impress me to see demonstrated maturity and passion in others.</p>
<p>I had honesty and humor</p>
<p>I wrote about the ability to respect everyone without judgement and the ability to make the best out of not so great situations.</p>
<p>@Bens, The first one you have was the compliment domeinen had gvn me, coincidence</p>
