Integrity, Motivation, Capacity, Understanding, Knowledge, Experience   

The ordering of these six words speak to what I value in friends and co-workers. If I were able to choose the people to surround myself and my family I would first want them to have integrity-honesty to me falls under the same term.  

Motivation is the cornerstone to accomplishment; It doesn't matter how much capacity, understanding, knowledge, or experience you have if you never do anything with it.  

Capacity or the basic ability to understand and grow is in some ways not something an individual can control but it is important to the degree that they are able to encompass integrity. Understanding I am defining as the ability to reason and take in information, which is crucial for gaining knowledge, so therefore must proceed it.  Knowledge is important but only insofar as how one use it. Having Knowledge in-an unto itself is not enough. Experience is only as go as how it informs ones actions and increases the knowledge that one possesses.
