Attitude

Achieving success by the way you behave
Touching the lives of others with love and consideration
Treading water sometimes but determined to survive
Initiative, imaginative, inclusive, inviting
Taking time to talk and to listen
Understanding the other's person's point of view
Duration of a pleasant positive response (like cologne)
Everlasting effect on self and others

Excellent write here and I had to laugh when I got to Line 7 ... reminded me of Avon and how it is "so loud" when you first put it on and then "fades away" to nothing after an hour ... LOL ... great selection to be featured this week at the Soup. Congratulations, Rhea!
