Openness is a mindset—a demeanor of not being nitpicky in interpersonal interactions, a capacity to tolerate others' flaws and shortcomings, and a spirit of letting go of setbacks and failures when competing with rivals.

They often have a long-term perspective, easily overcoming immediate obstacles to walk the smooth road to success.

I still like you, only the intensity has faded into silence.
