    The ability to actually do something instead of asking silly questions is important.

    Enthusiasm is awesome, but the posts you make on here are very indicative of the way you approach your training. You over analyse and over think everything. You're asking about parallel parking and three point turns when you should be learning how to wear your seatbelt right.

    Knowing what you're trying to do at all times and seeing the bigger picture...playing chess, not checkers. The ability to enjoy hurting people, and the ability to not be a *****. Also, hard work and dedication.

    The ability to recognise your weaknesses and work on them

    Having open ears is incredibly important
