BOLD
Being Bold allows one to take a risk and fully commit to it. While many cannot commit to a task wholeheartedly. There are many ways to show boldness, and one must understand when to do so.
RESILENCE
For some, Resilience is an attribute of life; for OC, he did not give up easily on anything he set his mind. There may be times when you must take a step back and reflect, but once knowledge has been obtained, the choice to get up again and fight reflects one's character.
ASSERTIVENESS
Assertiveness demonstrates the ability to not only communicate what is needed but to do so in a respectful manner. You must be in control of your words and who you are.
VERSATILITY
Versatility is the ability to understand a given circumstance and adjust accordingly. Regardless of what came his way, OC found a new way to achieve it and get it done.
