Empathy helps in making better decisions by allowing individuals to understand and take into account the perspectives and feelings of others. This can lead to more inclusive and fair decision-making, as well as an increased ability to anticipate and address the potential consequences of a decision on those it may affect. Empathy also helps in building trust and cooperation with others.

Integrity can help an individual fully rejoice in their achievements by providing a sense of self-respect and self-worth. When a person acts with integrity, they are making choices that align with their values and beliefs. When one achieves something with integrity, they can be confident that the achievement was earned through honest and fair means, which can increase the sense of pride and happiness in the accomplishment.

Perseverance is the ability to persist in the face of adversity and to maintain motivation and determination in the face of setbacks. Without perseverance, even the most passionate person may give up when faced with obstacles, while a person with perseverance and grit may continue to work towards their goal despite difficulties. In other words, Passion can ignite the fire, but perseverance keeps it burning.

Autonomy is necessary in learning because it leads to greater engagement, motivation, and ownership of the material. When people have autonomy in their learning, they can set their own goals, select their own activities and manage their own time, which can lead to a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the subject as well as their ability to transfer their learning to new and unfamiliar situations.
