  living on less than $2 a day per person – never leave your mind.  You know them, get them, have shared a
  meal with them (or would be happy to in the future).  You would never shrink back from shaking
  a parent’s hand or picking up a crying child, no matter what the person
  was wearing or looked like.  Every
  decision you make considers their customer benefit, experience, and value.
• A life-long learner – You believe you can always do
  better.  You welcome constructive
  criticism and provide it freely to others. 
  You know you only get better tomorrow when others point out where you’ve
  missed things or failed today.
