The Two Most Important Qualities Every Person Should Have

When I was at the university, I asked some random people: What two qualities should every person posses? although the answers were varied, one did stick out: Loyalty. In all honesty it was mostly women who gave that answer more often than men. I don't think loyalty is as important as women like to think it is, although I'm pretty sure they are thinking about the most wanted qualities in a mate, where I'm talking about the general population of the planet. I mean North Korean troops have loyalty, so did Nazi troops. So for the general population, loyalty is not as good a trait as most people would like to think.
I think the two most important qualities any person should have are: Compassion, and Ambition. Compassion is the ability to feel for others, to actually want to relieve the pain of others. Ambition makes a person want to achieve greater goals, greater heights of achievement. Although ambition is a trait most often coupled with a person's lust for power, it is also a vital part of day-to-day decision making. A homeless person can be compassionate, however that homeless person would not have the ability or opportunity to demonstrate that compassion for the benefit of society. Ambition can be used for evil, but when coupled with compassion, than it can be used to greatly benefit society.
