Power of perfect manners and skills

Perfection at any level imparts a capacity for accomplishment in the sphere of capacity and subject to the absence of capacity in other areas. Wickham manages to accomplish something in spite of all his negative attributes because at the most superficial level of physical and social behavior he has perfect manners and skills superior to all those around him. He misses many greater opportunities in life by his lack of character and values but is still rewarded for his superiority to others. The power of mere manners and skills can be seen in countless examples in life from the actor, artist, musician, news commentator, and salesman to the physicist, winner of the spelling be, the chessplayer and mathematician. Accomplishment is possible at many levels. The higher we rise, the greater the need for integral perfection across many dimensions.
