1. Courage
Be willing to take risks. Don't live the life of a worm, who simply does everything for the sake of comfort. Be driven by a purpose, beyond accumulating objects of comfort. Take risks, live dangerously.

Courage (Resilience)
Resilience is also a part of courage. Persist through tough times. Use past failures as guides, work through them logically, find what you must change. Remain unwavering, in the toughest of times, have the calmest of minds.
Do not get angry or frustrated, accept the situation as it arose, understand that it is simply in the nature of the universe that this were to happen, and that to get angry at this is against the nature of the universe and of man.

Temperance
Do effective things, eliminate the unnecessary. Have necessary things, eliminate the extravagant. Say less, say only the effective things. Eat less, eat healthy in so far as it allows you to work tirelessly toward your purpose.

Justice
Be just to others. Be tolerant of others, see their side of things. Be strict with yourself and be tolerant with others. Forgive more.
Read both sides of an argument. Eliminate any bias as far as possible. Act out in a just way, in a moral way, and even a kind way. Being kind is a trait of the divine.

Wisdom
Between what happens to us, and what we react to it, there is a gap. This gap is where wisdom presides. A wise man uses this gap and reacts appropriately to the stimulus that the outside world offers us. What is appropriate, the wise man decides based on the knowledge he has, the wisdom of the people of the past, that of the people around him, of old men and of children alike, that of rocks and pebbles too. Standing atop shoulders of giants, he navigates through life.
The wise man is ever learning, and absorbs wisdom from the universe like a sponge.
