This is my "what it takes" list, where I put what it takes to do something.
What it takes to...

kill zombies: friends, guns, and catch phrases

be a good person: be kind, respect, and strive for your best, not excellence

prosper: do the vulcan sign

not die: don't do anything stupid

be called comrade: be nice, show sympathy, show comradery (no duh), and be moral

be brave: don't wuss out if it's you against the crown

speak another language: study that language for 4 weeks, this goes for letter script languages, such as Spanish, Latin, French, German (Latin Script), Russian, Ukrainian, and Kazak (Cyrilic Script). To write it (this goes for letter script), study it for 2 weeks, this goes for Latin, Cyrilic, and Greek. To speak character script languages, study for 3 months (to be fluent, as well as comprehend slang and inproper grammer), this goes for Georgian, Aribic, Zaza, South Chechen, Traditional Indian, and Hebrew (Aribic, or Aribic like script), Chinese, Vietnamese, Japenese, Korean (Asian Character script, being the hardest, with some of them containing over hundreds of characters), Aberiginie, Native American, and Old Egyptian (Personifacated Character script), to write character scripts, study the characters the same amount of time you try to learn the language itself.
