How do pharmacists succeed in helping their patients?

In an earlier post, I asked the question, "Why don't pharmacists do more to help their patients?" It provided a list of many of the reasons why pharmacists are doing much less than they are capable of doing for their patients. I now suggest reasons how so many pharmacists succeed in helping their patients.

They have a clear personal mission to help their patients.
They take ownership of their practice setting.
They accept responsibility for their patients' health.
They keep up to date with the best methods for helping their patients.
They think nothing else is more important than helping patients.
They are more motivated by the work itself, rather than the rewards that are offered by their employer.
They have balance in their life which prevents personal problems from getting in the way of helping patients.
