Being aware of the needs of others (and doing one's best to accommodate them). Being willing to take the time to listen and communicate effectively.

Being able to express a point of view/opinion in a way which is polite , whilst being able to listen and discuss the views of others.
(almost forgot ... says a lot about me) ... acknowledging the positive actions and assistance of others.

Excellent principles. Let's hope we can instill these in others without getting ignored, laughed at, or shouted down...

The last time I saw a genuine outpouring of people helping others and showing real patriotism was for a period of several years right after 9/11.
