Positive Qualities: Thrifty & Capable

A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. — The Boy Scouts’ Law, 1908

You have Capabilities: both past and future. Build on what you have learned and earned. As Thrifty would suggest, stay between the extremes, that is, use prudent judgment and progress will be made. But remember it is also prudent to push the boundaries occasionally.

Peace,
Jim

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing what they could and should do for themselves. — Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) 16th President of the United States
