TACT - an intuitive sense (often innate, but can be learned) of words,
actions or approaches that are likely to be received well by others,
especially in interpersonally sensitive situations. An ability to avoid
social or verbal mistakes that might otherwise offend or disturb another
is most often respected by others, as long as it is accompanied by
integrity.

UNDAUNTED - to be undeterred or disarmed by external obstacles or
adversity, or by internal fear and uncertainty when facing personal,
professional or interpersonal challenges. Not easily intimidated or
discouraged from reaching high levels of achievement.

VERACIOUS - (not to be confused with voracious: ravenous eating or
reading) one who is habitually honest, as if unable to be otherwise.
Seemingly hard wired for truthfulness in all words and actions. Short
of that which is known as "brutal honesty" without filters or tact,
veracity is a quality few seem to possess or even pursue today. Still,
most individuals who do at least pursue this level of truthfulness tend
to live most fully and well as a result.

WAITING - a neutral task in nearly everyone's daily schedule, providing
ample opportunities for reflection, meditation, passive multi-tasking or
curious observation of frantic acts of futility by other individuals for
whom the same task is perceived as being tortuous, highly personalized,
tedious, intolerable, unfair and discriminatory harassment by the cosmos

XEROPHILOUS - along with every other word beginning with x this has
nothing whatsoever to do with our topic. Still, at social gatherings
one who knows what to call plants well adapted to hot, dry climates will
surely be perceived as bright, knowledgeable and a wonderful
conversationalist.

YUK - the kind of boisterous "belly" laugh capable of stimulating the
release of serotonin and dopamine in the brain to create a sense of
pleasure, wellness and satisfaction. Research has linked such laughter
to both psychological and physical wellness, including more rapid
healing and increased strength in the immune system.

ZANY - literally a buffoon, comical and silly. However, in our
contemporary common usage, it refers to a comical, spirited demeanor in
a friend or associate, generally appreciated and respected for his/her
wit and humorous nature.
