Good question, Seth Godin. I enjoyed your list, including:
An insatiable desire (and the ability) to learn more. Forever.
Most of all, the self-reliance that comes from understanding that relentless hard work can be applied to solve problems worth solving.
It would be nice if students learned this in high school. I believe I do my best to teach this, however, sometimes I'm not sure what, if anything, some of my students do in the year they're with me. I've always thought my job is to prepare students for a job and/or higher learning, but it seems like more and more of them are interested in neither.
