Good point. How is merit earned? Of course that depends on the values of the person evaluating another person who is judging their relative merit(s).
Personally, I like -
*Open-minded people who at the same time still have a capacity to use common sense and express balanced judgment re: The behavior of others (which is also a relative judgment, so "here we go again" I guess)...
*People who would give other folks a "second chance", so to speak, if they screwed something up once or didn't meet their expectations to a tee (which doesn't in my mind, make them a "sucker") -but still know when to "call it a day" re: Someone else walking all over them (if they are).
*Somebody who keeps their word.
*I consider a sense of humor a real gift, and I always appreciate people who use it, if they are so inclined. Some folks are more serious minded, though, which is okay, too.
*Some people have real talents and it's always (I think) a real shame when they let them go to waste via laziness. Of course, some people are talented in so many areas they will maybe never get a chance to express themselves in all of those areas (that's always been my excuse anyway *joke). Plus, there are only so many hours in a day.
