What makes a good FA?

[flapsforty]

Inspired by a rather silly statement on another thread, I wonder what we consider being "good" at our jobs?

Is it the ability to smile until we drop dead? The high speed meal chucking? Remembering 6 different drink orders on your way to the galley? Having an eye for pax too timid to press that call button? Being able to crack a joke to defuse tension? Your superior "blinkered walk through the aisle" technique so as not be distracted from something you really must NOT forget?
Lots of things come to mind here, what do you consider your strong points, and do we really know what our passengers want?
Cheers.
