Want to #Work with #Volunteers on #FREE #open #collaboration & #openinnovation
1.
Public Services?
How is it best to collaborate on building Creative Public Service Broadcasting? http://www.WEBiversity.org and http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org are two examples.
Should Government & organisation & charity spending be used in the most efficient way? The most efficient way is the most creative way as new inventions always create efficiencies that everyone benefits from.
Should Government & organisation & charity work be produced in an open way using open source software so the failures can be learnt from by everyone and the successes can be shared? Surely Mozilla labs have proven the benefits of doing this?
Should Military spending be used to prevent disease famine and extinction in an open peacefull way so as to prevent conflicts caused by lack of resources? http://tinyurl.com/yjvpg5m
http://www.TRAIDmark.org is one way for any Government & organisation & charity & business to create Institutional innovation that benefits everyone in an open way.

Any #product or #service that is used by the #majority of #people should be made into a #global #public #service & run as a #world #coop #nfp like #gov? These oranisations effectively have a growing #MONOPOLY so should be owned by the global community and run #DEMOCRATICALLY. So #facebook, #wikipedia, #google, #twitter should be owned by the community that give them their value by using them. How is it possible for the community of users to be given ownership of the sites? Should the community take ownership of the service by either buying all the shares or by making a union? Should the owners of the service donate the product/service to the world? They then can gain by being paid performance pay for running the service rather than owning it. Coop's and Not For Profits have proven this Beyond Profit model for years. Cooperatives are responsible to creating the institutions that ended up becoming the NHS and public education system so why not do this for all modern day global public services? http://www.TRAIDMark.org explains more about the benefits of doing this. If you read this join the facebook group and comment any suggestion there.

#How can #knowledge and #wisdom that #benefits #everyone (#cumulativegain) be #shared #easier and more #effectively #gov #os
How can knowledge and wisdom that benefits everyone (cumulative gain) be shared easier and more effectively than information that is used to benefit a few eg #competition #zerosumgain The knowledge and wisdom form the 000's of years of history are in libraries across the world. Academia is digitizing it so the question is how to organize the information so the wisdom and knowledge can be shared and learned by everyone so we all can live happier lives that are more productive and that help others. Organizing how information is #CREATED and #Contributed to the web is important too (Real time #Librarianship?!).
One way is for every point or concept to be started with a sentence and then paragraph that summaries the whole point (so we do not all have to read the WHOLE essay/book/thesis to get the point). The second is to reduce the ammount of #DUPLICATED information on the web so we dont waste time reading it. This can be done by linking all duplicate information together on the web using semantic technology. This needs to be done in an open way to EVERYONE that uses the web an access it free. The third is to reduce the amount of #USELESS information or #spam on the web. This can be done in many effective ways but needs to be done in an open way so EVERYONE that uses the web can access this. The fourth is to #ENCOURAGE everyone to learn the knowledge and wisdom by making it #ENTERTAINING.
TED & Tedx have proven how this can be done. The fifth help #EMPOWER everyone to use the knowledge that they have gained to benefit everyone.
KIVA has proven how this can be done. We would love to work with other to create an open source free university for everyon. Prototype http://www.WEBiversity.org Contact @whymandesign if you read this article. Also contact if you want creative help or want to help others?

#How can #everyone be #empowered to #help everyone and #enabled to #creatively #innovate? #gov #ogov #os #ted #bigsociety
How can everyone be empowered to help everyone and enabled to creatively innovate? Anyone can set up a Twitter account of Facebook group to support what they are doing which is great. However we are all limited by the limitations of software and the web as that dictates who can collaborate with who. 1 eg...you have to put text into a text comment box until someone comes up with a better way. Only those who know how to code are able to improve this which creates a minority / elite which causes many problems. 1. eg...The elite can only be aware of problems they experience so will only solve those problems. This could be called the #democratization of #technology which is important as #knowledge / #technology is #power (#Facebook has become more powerful than some countries) A solution is to find a way to enable #EVERYONE to create using a new form of coding that we all can do without having to learn a specific language (as it is easier to create an open source language than teaching the whole world to learn another NEW language). Is there a programming language that rseponds to plane English or Spanish or Chinese that anyone/everyone can speak? If not, one needs to be created ASAP so everyone can contribute to the global knowledge and creative economy and innovate above and beyond our expectations. This is a public service so needs to be funded. The analogy can be compared to writing. First the monks/academics were the only people who could read and write so they could only make a set amount of innovative work due to their limited number of brains. When reading and importantly WRITING became common practice there was an explosion in experimentation and evolution of thought and language which benefitted everyone. This same process needs to happen asap now with programming so that everyone can not only read and write but make software/systems (that are like writing but where the writing can go off and do a task). The downside is that if we do not do this we will not see or know what wonderous innovation is created and the massive benefits this would have created for everyone. Who should be contacted in order to make this happen?

@Wikipedia article rating comment. can you add #crowdsource & #crowdfund on #EVERY page to #help #everyone @moka #gov
@Wikipedia trial article rating which sounds Great:) Who is it possible to propose that Wikipedia & TED & KIVA... create auto embedded video to every page AND importantly that every page has a crowdsourced and crowdfunded part so everyone can solve any problem linked to any/every wikipedia issue (so Wikipedia is a source of knowledge and a 'do good' open CMS?

#What #legal & #social #problems are there if you want to #do #good? #bigsociety #nesta @4ip #gov
What legal & social problems stop anyone do good? Entertainment is a key problem.
Entertainment can be fun AND productive. So we could all do fun things that help others. The problem is that many existing 'fun' things do not help anyone and are as good as procrastination. Legal and Social rules and regulations restrict creativity as you are not allowed to do things differently.
This means that we ALL loose out by not being allowed to help each other by innovating which often bends and breaks rules. For example.
1.
If you want to improve your local street it is not socially or legally acceptable to put furniture on the street corner so anyone can use them. If this is done the council then PAYS for people to clear things away.
2.
You are not allowed to take things out of public dumps. If the community were allowed to do this they would be recycling in the most efficient way by REUSING objects AND would use the objects to also invent new uses. This means that an important change in the way society and the legal system needs to be looked at urgently because at the moment creativity and innovation are suppressed which means that we ALL lose out (just because a small minority are not being educated to act constructively, though they could be). One key problem is that we are not aware of what we are missing out on BECAUSE we have not been able to create or invent the exciting new public services that the community would have been able to create (had the legal and social restrictions not been in place). There are many simple ways to solve this but it would need government and legal organisations to open mindedly creatively enhance the way they work. Which people in these organisations can do that? Would you like to know creative solutions to this and any other problems? If so contact @whymandesign

#Competition & #winners makes #elites which is #bad for the #majority. #Collaboration & #sharing #helps #all
#Competition & #winners makes #elites which is #bad for the #majority. #Collaboration & #sharing #helps #all The question is how to make competition 'creators' and 'winners' aware that by winning they in effect make the majority lose so their selfish act of winning makes more people lose so everyone looses. Is there a simple way to educate competitive people to collaborate as competitions makes a few winners and a LOT of people lose which is bad compared to collaboration where everyone helps each other so everyone wins dues to the increased output. The danger as always is the ignorant thinking that they know everything and not questioning their preconceptions.

#Socialmedia #enables #celebrities, #writer & #academics to #launch #tribes in the #crowd to do #good & #bad.
#Socialmedia #enables #celebrities, #writer & #academics to #launch #tribes in the #crowd to do #good & #bad. Can Celebrities and Academics now use social media to empower their followers to productively do things that help others? It can be as simple as this.
A celebrity such as @stephenfry could launch any project on Twitter then use any Facebook group to manage that activity. Flashmobbing proves that the format works. What other amazing things can celebrities do?

#How can the #community #help #Ted #kiva #wikipedia to improve? #os #app store? #tedx
How can the community help Ted kiva wikipedia to improve? os app store? How to help crowds and avoid ignorant mob mentality or fashions! How to empower everyone to contribute not just the 25% 'creators' and how to make contributions constructive? How to make this happen? Create a community apps store? Who can any member of the audience talk to about enhancing community software? We are trying to do this by enabling anyone who wants to to collaborate on a not for profit education project and would love to work with you. Who can we talk to? http://www.WEBiversity.org is the prototype that proves the potential or crowdsourced comments into projects from video. Would it be possible to work with you to make a re skinned
version of existing software so we can help the public to solve other
social issues (Ideally using that http://www.TRAIDmark.org business
structure)? Maybe working with someone like
http://www.ONEworldHEALTH.org or http://www.earth.org which
is closing so maybe this is something I could help you take on so
everyone can share local knowledge? Also can http://www.WEBiversity.org
share video’s and create http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org with you? Ed @whymandesign http://www.WHYmandesign.com

#barcampbar is a #free way for #anyone to #create #collaboration #space using #emptyshops & #barcamp
Make your own bar to party in while raising funds for 'good' causes at no cost.
Who would want to go to an average bar when you can custom make your own! Party hard but Party well; so that everyone has fun and learns something (e.g. there may well not be a point to life but humans have proven that caring for others makes both parties happier than selfishness). The party/bar could be run just after another event (and could even use the same space making it easier to organise). If anyone is interested in producing a custom made website with us we are looking for programmers.
We are also looking for good locations to set up permanent Bar Camp Bar's so please get in contact if you know of a good space.

How is it best to give creators rewards to make more work?
There is so much potential with new media but the one key problem holding the long tail of innovation back appears to be how innovators earn a living and how they get social feedback on their work without it being copied.
And rewarding people in a way that encourages them to collaborate and share is key as that creates so much more public and private value if done in the right way. Financial and social rewards appear to be the two key areas.
These need to be measured in short and long term rewards relating to short and long term gains/progress. Which reward processes work for different people in different places along the production process from researcher to inventor to producer, retailer and manager? Is anything free? Surely everything costs the creator something. How is it best to give creators rewards to make more work?

#creative #commons #caution & #celebration of the #potential #cc #os
Everything can be used to do good, bad and lots more good if used by the right people in the right way (so the tool maximises its potential). Here are some points on making sure that creative ideas/products are use to do the most good and to help protect them from being stolen to be used for selfish or negative reasons (almost always unknowingly by the person who is stealing the idea and/or using it in a negative way) (this may sound obvious but it is so important I wanted to remind myself so maybe you want to do so too) If you read this content join http://www.UGCunion.org and suggest ways you want to work on collaborative ideas/projects that do good. 1.
Once an idea/product is created check that you cant think of any negative ways to use that idea or ways that others could use it to fulfil selfish motives at the expense of others. 2.
Be careful who you tell about your ideas/product. It is best to let those doing positive selfless work gain access to good ideas/products before those doing selfish work. This will enable a double positive effect to take place as you help them gain an additional advantage which boosts their work. 3.
Make sure the idea/product does good even if it is stolen so that the person who steals it will be unintentionally using it for good. 4.
Always remain open to others helping to enhance your product/idea and give positive feedback to others work too. 5.
Make sure your product/idea does not use others goodwill. Using volunteers is one good example of this. Volunteers should always get at least one positive thing out of their experience as well as the positive feeling of giving something back. This is imperative so that those volunteers are rewarded and gain something extra so that they can do an even greater job next time. 6.
Reward others good work in any way you can from positive feedback to giving them things that you don't need.

#Problems that #slow #progress so hurt us all e.g. lack of #vision, #creativity & #empowerment
Here are a few problems that will need to be solved to help progress. 1.
Duplication and confusion slow down learning/development/innovation/progress and can make progress reverse as individuals go off in the 'wrong' direction. For example if there are two sites doing the same thing then that splits the user/customer/supplier communities into two making the collaboration and partnership potential halved while enabling people to duplicate the same work. How can this be solved?... One way is to concentrate or rank organisations that are doing the 'most' good above others. So not for profit organisations that are efficient should be ranked higher than commercial organisations. So a not for profit search engine is a good start. https://www.anoox.com is one example. 2.
And finding content that you can reuse and remix is equally important. http://search.creativecommons.org and http://www.jamendo.com are two examples. If you know of a better way to solve this please add it to http://www.UGCunion.org 3.
The same goes for any form of assessment from exams to job applications.
Assessment is also a key area that needs to be looked at. How can assessment and feedback be collected in a scientific manner that does not neglect the unknown and unquantifiable? 4.
Centralised networks and organisations will fall down if the central core is disrupted. It is therefore imperative that networks and organisations are restructures to be decentralise and community based so that they can not entirely collapse. This also fosters collaboration and evolution which dramatically enhance innovation and progress for the benefit of everyone. http://yacy.net/ is one example of decentralised web search.

#Introducing the #web!? As simple as 1 2 #Infinity / #Singularity
Consumer habits continue to change with web usage creating new opportunities for even better customer service and ethical trading. One key problem is how web usability is still not accessible for novices and often is infuriatingly restrictive for all users due to a lack of careful usability design. If only those websites were aware of the loss of trade caused by this lack of usability they would instantly improve their service. Over time this will happen and we are interested in assisting and measuring how this process of change occurs. This nice game is one example of how things many people take for granted need to be taught in a clear educational manner to certain types of learners. http://www.getonlineday.com/challengegame/index.html Which leads on to the government service called http://www.myguide.gov.uk which illustrates many more. Once on the web the first big choice users face is, 'Which service do I use' when there are so many similar offers? Most users learn from their peers choosing the fastest services that are easiest to use. Then they choose to use ethical products/services provided by Not For Profit and Social Enterprise organisations which are nicely listed on websites such as http://www.idealist.org and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-profit_organization.
#creating the #BIG #long tail of #Innovation for #everyone
How can we modify structures to maximise the long tail of innovation. How could it best be facilitated so everyone can contribute without comments being lots in the depths of the web? It seams that there is SO much potential for government and the public to achieve using new media. The key appears to be how to communicate this potential and empower everyone to take that step down the rabbit hole of independent innovation and collaboration at everyones own grass roots (though this has been done outside of new tech since just after the beginning of time:). Is there a way to reward individuals to take risks by trying new things and fail/succeed? The dot com approach of rewarding successful innovation by buying it out appears to work for successful innovation. How best to reward innovators that try things that fail is unclear. It may be best to enable lots of innovators to innovate without rewarding success so that peer review enables success to be rewarded socially while larger volumes or innovation can be facilitated by funding lots of people with smaller amounts. The http://www.Traidmark.org business structure aims to illustrate how this can be done by funding innovators to create products within a not for profit that then invests any surplus funds in other innovators who are working on different products/services. This enables commerce and government to interact with the public while safely funding innovation that fails and succeeds with interesting outcomes that exceed expectations. More details are on the http://www.whymandesign.com Innovation research blog.
FREE LOVE GIVEAWAY (and happiness too just help others and give your love away:)
Make yourself happy and content by giving. Please share your experience of making yourself happy by giving (takes 5 mins and will help someone else)... Is pain and suffering almost always caused by selfish minds? It appears so.
That appears to be one main cause of suffering as many people think they are going without so take from others.Take a look at any selfish or 'evil'/'bad' person. They are always selfish and dont realise that they could give others happiness if they took time to step back and look at their life. Instead they think there is no time to look at their life (takes 5 minutes) so miss the chance to make their life happy and content. I keep forgetting to appreciate what i have and keep getting wound up by life's little problems based around things like my Career.
All of these anxieties come from comparing myself to others so it is inevitable that i am unhappy at least 50% of the time as i (and everyone else) expects to be getting at least above average out of life if not to at least 90%! (meaning i am unhappy 90% of the time!!!). Several different people suggested going for a walk whenever I feel bad (which works amazingly) and also to look on life not as a task but as a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to see how many other people we can help and make happy. After all if you make someone else happy it makes you feel good so that can only be good. One other way is to look back at the simple things in life that I HAVE rather than look forward at the things i think i want. When i forget to appreciate these things i look up a video of someone who does not have one of these or try to find someone in the street who is missing one of these and try to help them a little. Below is a list of these things (if you cant do one move on to the next please)... I can Breathe (breath in and out 10 times slowly concentrating on the air flowing into and out of your lounges) [hold your breath for a bit]
I can Touch (move one part of your body very slowly and concentrate on the sense) [sit still then move a tiny part of your body]
I can See (look at one small object or your hand and enjoy being able to see this) [close then open your eyes]
I can Hear (close your eyes and listen to the quietest sounds and enjoy them) [put your fingers in your ears;p]
I can Smell (breath in slowly through your nose and see what you can smell) [breath in through your mouth then nose]
I can Taste (What does your mouth taste like, the air or your skin?) [Eat something tasty]
I can Give (find someone who needs something and give it to them...Hug, Kiss...) [Dont forget to give yourself something too by hugging others] Do you know any other ways to remind yourself to control your EGO so you stop thinking about yourself and concentrate on helping others who are less (and more) fortunate than you are? Please share this information and any other ways to enjoy life (no matter how obvious) to http://www.FREEHUG.org
We are also looking for people to collaborate on this project. Are you interested? Books that give lots of great advice on this are listed below as are lots of GREAT TED talks which explain about the benefits of selflessness (it makes YOU happy:) plus lots of free books can be downloaded from Project Gutenberg htt://www.gutenberg.org/

Saying #Yes / #No to #happiness in 8 hours?
No No No Yes. Saying Yes / No Happiness and 8 hours!
1.
What is the unmeasurable negative effect of people saying no or being negative on you me and society? Is it worse to ignore someone than say no to them? Probably... Here is a list of obvious ways to handle any situation from bad to good... BAD - Insult, Ignore, Say No, Suggest something, Encourage, Congratulate, Say Yes, Recommend - GOOD So it takes less effort to say to someone that they are doing well and makes you feel good too.
It appears to be all linked to the EGO that makes some people confused and think that they are better than others so don't want to care or help them which leads to the BAD reactions to any/every enquiry. As these people are negative to other people they get negative responses too leading to a cycle of negativity which makes the egotistical person feel worse and worse. The person who has control of their EGO and acts selflessly helping others gets rewarded many times over as others are nice back to them creating a cycle of GOOD where everyone wins. Often stress creates the negative cycle but this can be combated by looking at others who have 'less' making you feel humble and by laughing at ourselves as in the grand scheme of things nothing we do (nor our lives) appear to matter. 2.
This leads on to how you live your life. To enjoy it or to reach some goal that your parents/society has imposed on you? The TED talk below makes me step back and think about what is important and how money and status are worth less than self belief and pride...
Do not look for happiness but create it with what you have got.
When people have no choice they change their preferences to make them more happy about what they have. When they have choice they are always comparing what they have to others so are less happy as they compare with the average. On average nothing is average! 3.
Which leads to what you do with 8 hours of your life! well 3 sets of 8 hours.
8 hours working... If one person can do a job better than someone else should they take ove the job? How does that apply to what you do? Would you step aside if someone could do your job better than you? If you step aside then you would be able to do a different job that you are even better at. So everyone should keep looking out for someone who could do their job better than them. When they find that person they should give them their job so that they can go on to work in areas that they excel in.

What is the unmeasurable negative effect of people saying no or being negative on you me and society? Is it worse to ignore someone than say no to them? Probably... Here is a list of obvious ways to handle any situation from bad to good... BAD - Insult, Ignore, Say No, Suggest something, Encourage, Congratulate, Say Yes, Recommend - GOOD So it takes less effort to say to someone that they are doing well and makes you feel good too.
It appears to be all linked to the EGO that makes some people confused and think that they are better than others so don't want to care or help them which leads to the BAD reactions to any/every enquiry. As these people are negative to other people they get negative responses too leading to a cycle of negativity which makes the egotistical person feel worse and worse. The person who has control of their EGO and acts selflessly helping others gets rewarded many times over as others are nice back to them creating a cycle of GOOD where everyone wins. Often stress creates the negative cycle but this can be combated by looking at others who have 'less' making you feel humble and by laughing at ourselves as in the grand scheme of things nothing we do (nor our lives) appear to matter. 2.
This leads on to how you live your life. To enjoy it or to reach some goal that your parents/society has imposed on you? The TED talk below makes me step back and think about what is important and how money and status are worth less than self belief and pride...
Do not look for happiness but create it with what you have got.
When people have no choice they change their preferences to make them more happy about what they have. When they have choice they are always comparing what they have to others so are less happy as they compare with the average. On average nothing is average! 3.
Which leads to what you do with 8 hours of your life! well 3 sets of 8 hours.
8 hours working... If one person can do a job better than someone else should they take ove the job? How does that apply to what you do? Would you step aside if someone could do your job better than you? If you step aside then you would be able to do a different job that you are even better at. So everyone should keep looking out for someone who could do their job better than them. When they find that person they should give them their job so that they can go on to work in areas that they excel in.

What organisation structure is best? #socent #charity #coop #gov #volunteer #nfp or #ltd
Organisation structure in order
(Which is best? Charities can generate their own revenue to donate and companies can 'do good') Inventor
Volunteer organisation
Charity
Government
Cooperative
Not For profit
Social Enterprise
Commercial Company Which do you prefer and why? Is it not possible to get investment for a charitable and innovative enterprise that donates large funds to new innovative charitable work? http://www.TRAIDmark.org is one way of doing this and well run cooperatives have been doing this for years. Why not create or invent your own better way.

#Technology & #society are #helping #progress but how can it be #improved (how is IT getting in the way)?
#Technology & #society are #helping #progress but how can it be #improved (how is IT getting in the way)? The structure of technology/society restricts humans from experimenting and evolving in many ways so urgently needs to be addressed as it currently is stopping individuals from achieving anywhere near their potential. We have seen how much has already been improved but if we continue on the 'S' curve of cumulative growth and development it is a fundamental mistake to expect (and dangerous to put up with) similar growth in the future. We should always expect higher rates of growth and demand them from service providers. As it appears to be a human trait to leave things if they are just good enough ("If it aint broke dont fix it") a culture of improve and assess needs to be encouraged so everyone can benefit from continually increasing development. Repetition in technology/society is a MAJOR hidden problem as it creates a wide array of almost identical services to choose from which causes...
1. Confusion with too many similar products leading to apathy.
2. Duplication (in a bad way where skill and effort are wasted duplicating) Open Source can stop this if everyone uses it.
3. Segregation where many different groups of people can not interact as they are divided by different technology/software/hardware. How to stop repetition?
Create only open source software.
Run as a not for profit so others can collaborate and not compete.
Make organisations/technology continually evolve so they do not rest on its laurels and stop providing good service.
Copywrite and Patents need to be reassessed for the 21st centure with the WEB, Open Source and Creative Commons. As we should expect the best we should also PLAN for the WORST.
How to plan for the Worst? Please RT your responses.

If #negative feeling can be channeled in a way that #motivates you to #help others then all #vice can be turned into #virtue
If any negative feeling can be channeled in a way that motivates you to constructively help others then all vice's can be turned into virtues (prob easier said than done!). The question then is how this can be done. Vice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vice
Into
Virtue http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue Dantes Vices Which of these Vices are you most guilty of?! (We all are of at least one:) And how can you turn it into a positive thing so you can use it to help others? 1. Pride or vanity — an excessive love of the self (Create Awards for all. We should all deserve and earn awards for our own individual skills)
2. Avarice (covetousness, greed) — a desire to possess more than one has need or use for (Philanthropy makes Avarice do good)
3. Lust — excessive sexual desire. (How? Society and family have made the sexes compete to impress each other. Make Virtues impressive.)
4. Wrath or anger — feelings of hatred, revenge or denial, as well as punitive desires outside of justice. (Channel negative energy into motivation to do something constructive.)
5. Gluttony — overindulgence in food, drink or intoxicants (Food/pudding as a reward for doing things. The less you have the more you enjoy so less is more.)
6. Envy or jealousy - resentment of others for their possessions (Envy motivates and reminds us that success is relative and not important)
7. Sloth or laziness; idleness and wastefulness of time and/or other allotted resources (Laziness is a mother of Invention) Roman Virtues! Which one of these Virtues are you most Guilty of?! And how can you enhance that and also improve the rest (we are all good at at least one of these). * Auctoritas — "Spiritual Authority" — The sense of one's social standing, built up through experience, Pietas, and Industria.
* Comitas — "Humour" — Ease of manner, courtesy, openness, and friendliness.
* Constantia — "Perseverance" — Military stamina, mental and physical endurance.
* Clementia — "Mercy" — Mildness and gentleness.
* Dignitas — "Dignity" — A sense of self-worth, personal pride.
* Disciplina — "Discipline" — Military oath under Roman protective law & citizenship.
* Firmitas — "Tenacity" — Strength of mind, the ability to stick to one's purpose.
* Frugalitas — "Frugality" — Economy and simplicity of style, without being miserly.
* Gravitas — "Gravity" — A sense of the importance of the matter at hand, responsibility and earnestness.
* Honestas — "Respectability" — The image that one presents as a respectable member of society.
* Humanitas — "Humanity" — Refinement, civilization, learning, and being cultured.
* Industria — "Industriousness" — Hard work.
* Iustitia — "Justice" — Sense of moral worth to an action.
* Pietas — "Dutifulness" — More than religious piety; a respect for the natural order socially, politically, and religiously. Includes the ideas of patriotism and devotion to others.
* Prudentia — "Prudence" — Foresight, wisdom, and personal discretion.
* Salubritas — "Wholesomeness" — Health and cleanliness.
* Severitas — "Sternness" — Gravity, self-control.
* Veritas — "Truthfulness" — Honesty in dealing with others.
* Virtus - "Manliness" - Valor, excellence, courage, character, and worth. Vir meaning "man". (Man being generic now:) Add your improvements/advice in the comments below.
