Vala Afshar, from Salesforce.com, sent a great tweet out earlier today.
It requires no talent to be:
- hard working
- generous
- polite
- positive
- kind
- teachable
- humble
- hopeful
- grateful
- honest
- mindful
Too often, people get bogged down by what they can, and cannot, do. Instead, follow Andre Agassi and focus on controlling what you can control.

It may not take talent but definitely requires effort. Perhaps that is one reason these good qualities are sometimes not embraced!
