Why: intelligence, knowledge, freedom from delusion, patience, truth, self-control, and calmness, listing an extended set of positive inner qualities as all originating from Krishna.
In life: the specific virtues you most admire in someone, patience, honesty, calm under pressure, don't usually arrive as isolated traits, they tend to cluster together as part of a more integrated character.
Teaching: rather than trying to build one specific virtue in isolation, work on the more integrated character underneath it, patience and honesty and calm tend to develop together, not separately.
