George Washington’s “Ten Talents” according to the letter from John Adams, now in full:
1. A handsome face. 2. A tall stature. 3. An elegant form. 4. Graceful attitudes and movements. 5. A large imposing fortune. 6. Washington was a Virginian (this is equivalent to Five Talents). 7. Washington was preceded by favorable anecdotes. 8. He possessed the gift of silence. 9. He had great self command. 10. When he’d lose his temper, people would hide it from being known to the world.
