19. He's smart enough to respect those who know what he doesn't know.

Somewhat analogous....the best boss I ever had wasn't the most talented or smartest. He simply had a good grasp and acceptance of what he didn't know. And relied on, respected and rewarded those of us on his team who did know.

Life doesn't always promote those who are best or brightest. Trudeau got to where he is in part due to other things. Sometimes just the life lottery. But he is smart enough to know one of his colleagues has been there, done that, and has a closet crammed with tee shirts. He's smart enough to respect and value that. Those who don't...our scribbler class....disgust me.
