To be a good one, you have to be (and to raise a good one, you have to teach someone else to be):
Strong and gentle.
Proud and humble.
Enthusiastic and calm.
Fun and serious.
Bold and cautious.
Self-aware but not self-conscious.
Candid and discreet.
Discriminating and democratic.
Loyal (when it's called for).
Generous, but not to a fault.
Self-loving, but not self-worshiping.
Aggressive but not violent.
Intellectual and musical.
Good luck with all that.
