I got another one: competency and versatility. A man should be competent enough to do a variety of tasks, and converse intelligently about a variety of topics. Few things annoy me more than someone who looks a task and gives the, "I don't do that" look.

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze new problems, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - RA Heinlein
