If there's a set of qualities that compellingly attracts me, it's definitely the triad of Grace, Discipline, and Punctuality. Grace, Discipline, and Punctuality are the observable symptoms of an individual's self-respect and self-control, a transparent reflection of an individual's personal quality. An individual who treats themselves with respect and acts with restraint is, I dare say, forced to exhibit these qualities.
The analogy of knowing a person to an unfurling flower is only apt. As the unfurling flower, with every exposed petal, reveals about itself things that were earlier masked by a veil, each day interaction with a person reveals something beautiful about them.
Whether it works or not is immaterial. What matters is whether you've given it your best. Working is controlled by luck and other forces, all of which are beyond your means. This might come as surprise to you now, but someday you'll realise that what matters the most is whether you've given it your best, and not whether it worked.
