“A leader has a cool head and a warm heart. He is even-tempered. He thinks things through instead of jumping at conclusions. He takes responsibilities and cares about other people’s happiness. He is kind and unselfish, generous and forgiving. He is hospitable, and accepts hospitality with graciousness. He has humility, mutual helpfulness and teamwork, and loyalty to family. He is self-effacing, cooperative, has a soft voice and courteous manner. He has courage, industry and achievement.”
—Mary Kawena Pukui, Hawaiian Scholar
