do you have any experiences that contributes to make you a better person? or you have an image model that you get your character traits and good manners? did you get it from parents,family members,or friends?

i am a very easy going sof hearted person, and i cant get mad at people or dont very often, i can forgive very easily never holding a grudge, and i gave my heart to God when i was a child, and have been religious ever since , i try to keep people calm, i try to give as much as possible in little ways, i pray for lots of people that dont even know it. and i have to say i got most of my traits from my mother, sometimes its hard though i admit, feeling sorry for people all the time makes it hard to use good judgement and that is where i also have to let God help me as without him i am nothing....

Well, I think it is the combination of the three. At first, parents upbringing mold the child on who will be in the society. They are the first teachers that we encounter once we became aware of the world. Then, an indol will be your living pattern on how you want your life to be, and it is similar to the one whom you admire. You get the good things and adopt it to yourself. But I think the most influential of all are experinces. In here, you may be able to encounter different phases of life. It can include diffculties, happines, sadness, and anything in between it. You are rpone to changes and improvement. Actually, it is how you react on things that make it beneficial. If you see it on the positive side, then it is a good thing. But if it is the opposite, then you better assess yourself more. Experiences come for many reasons in or der for us to learn and grow as a person. Just be brave enough to face it and solve that matter.

Yes, experience does help in performing better and some traits are in-built or say inherited from parents, which make us acceptable. No I do not have any particular image model. I am learner and learn from others. Also, I give credit to all my dear friends at mylot......who always encourage me and inspire me to do better.
