I would strike off

1

5
8

9 is equivocal.

10 has nothing to do with photography. I smile all the time. But my photography do not improve.

I would add

Coffee- strong coffee!
A good dose of arrogance
Individualism
Bulldog bite
Never give up

no.5 ? i always believed photography, like art, is a creative process.

as for smiling, it does help the photographer gain rapport with his/her subjects, e.g. in travel portraits. and get better photos in the process.

Individualism and never give up i fully agree with.

This i absolutely agree with but Humility is quite important as well although a touch of arrogance does help... but only a wee touch. ;)
