My take on the ones that are tips/advice.

The ability to speak your own language well is a huge asset - many don't.
If you can speak another language that is a bonus.

Be able to make a reasoned decision in a reasonable timeframe. Shoot from the hip makes for bad decisions.

When I get a headache I ask myself whether there is anything serious the matter, and if not I just get on with it. Too many 'Cry-babies' around these days who think the answer to everything is "pop a pill".

If I talk to myself it's because I appreciate an intelligent listener.

You don't need therapy - you need maturity.

If everybody else seems like an idiot you probably need to look in the mirror.

"On time" is when you should get there. You expect this of others don't you?

Toilet before you leave the house and know where your next 'Pit-stop' will be.

You may need to start sentences with "Tell me if we've had this discussion..."
