1. Attention – the ravenous, focused and insatiable curiosity;
2. Acceptance – the cultural abstraction and belief in a common genius;
3. Empathy – the vivid vicariousness and ability to emote;
4. Rigor – the intellectual discipline and capacity to articulate;
5. Range – the tactile feel for history and logic;
6. Courage – the preparedness to gamble the dreams;
7. Validation – the pre-posthumous praise.
