you can learn a lot about a person if you try to accomplish something together with them in just one day - about their true character, i mean. what makes them tick, how hard they'd work to earn something, their capacity for empathy, their ability to stick to goals, how they support themselves and support their companions, what they're willing to sacrifice to get something they profess to want. you learn who can stay happy, who's a whiner, who is focused, who wanders off track. you learn who can think of conversation topics and who can make up a song out of any circumstance. you learn who looks up at the trees and who looks down at the ground. you can learn a lot about a person if you try to accomplish something together with them in just one day.
