What is/was your fathers best trait? Did you inherit it?

My dad is a great guy. He's funny and very laid back. I take after him alot. He always has a quick comeback or joke to make people laugh. He gets along great with everyone he works with, he has tons of friends. I think my favorite trait about him now though is he is the best pappy in the world. My kids love him. He plays with them and has so much fun.

Choosing just one trait that I inherited from my father, I would say stubborness. He as well as I am very stubborn about everything and very hard headed to a point. It's a good trait if kept under control as well. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

My Dad , who has left for his heavenly abode in silence for more than 20 years. His supreme characteristic acumen was his nobility. The firmness of purpose ...power of command...the will to get things done...foreseeableness. I am devoiid of those qualities ...I wonder at times why I could not become the like son of a like father. Pity.....

My father has also been gone for 19 years, and it sometimes seems like forever and sometimes like just yesterday since he was here with me. My dad was the kindest, most honest person that I know. He never had anything bad to say about anyone, and he always spoiled me, I was his 40th birthday present. My dad and I are a lot alike, his house was always open to anyone who needed a place to stay, or something to eat or drink or just for some companionship. That is one of the best traits that I got from my dad. I remember always thinking he was going to get mad at me for bringing so many kids home after church on Sundays, but no, we always had such a good time and my dad always treated everyone like one of his own kids. I miss my dad terribly, mostly when I got married and when my kids were born I wanted him there with me. I try to make him proud of me, and to always keep my heart open and honest, to those who might be in need. That is what my dad always did, and that was one of his greatest gifts, finding those in need and helping them.

My father is well and alive and thank god for that as he is one person that I love and respect with every cell in my body. My father gave me the love for books (it is pity he cant read a lot because 30 or so years ago he lost an eye and now his other eye is going blind), he gave me the love for music, the love for nature. He showed me what love for family is. He showed me that people are people no matter what colour, religion, nationality, sexuality or whatever else is ther. I have love and respect for everyone thanks to him.

My Father who at the age of 70 despite so many sickness in him..He is an essence of a man who you'll look up highly with high respects. He is a complete person, being a Provinvial Manager and even becoming a Municipal Mayor in Agutaya, Palawan .. The gbreatest attribute that I do have is his determination, discipline and his vision of one's profession.

My father is the best; his number trait that I like is patience. He knows how to balance almost everything because he knows how to be patient of everything to come in good terms. I don’t know If totally inherit it hehe because sometimes I know I’m patient but there some things that I prefer not to deal anymore. Maybe what I inherit is his being understanding. I simply understand just about anything.

I do not know because I do not know who my father is?

Hello Ctrymuziklvr, Nice topic! My Father had so many wonderful characteristics. Not the least of which was the patience of Job. Which, sadly I did not inherit. I have electively opted to emulate many of his other fabulous traits, like: his sense of honor, deep love of/commitment to family, his pensive nature, his infinite curiosity about all things, his self-reliant and self-starter nature, his unwavering self-respect, his willingness to respect others, his ability to be tough & tender simultaneously, etc ... I could go on and on. But, for the sake of brevity, I'll leave it there. What was his best trait? Gee, I'm not sure that I can definitely answer that. There are just so many. If I had to choose one, it would probably have been his commitment to life-long learning. I so admired that about my Father. And, I cherish it as one one of my own favorite characteristics. Thanks for the opportunity to spend a moment or two fondly recalling how special a person my Father was. It's time well spent!

Hmmm, I believe I inherited my Fathers excellent health genes. What I mean by that is that Dad & I rarely get sick. We almost never pick up viruses. I know I inheiteed this good health from him.Apart from that, I think that one of my Fathers best traits was the service he did for the community as a volunteer. Although I haven't dome any near as much volunteer work as my Father, I know I will when my children are much older.

One of my dad's traits was being stubborn.and I am as or even more stubborn than he was.Some may think it is a fault but to me it is a great trait.

My Dad is the very meaning of hard work. He has worked since he was 15 to get what he has today. I've seen him work long into the night turning wrenches and I've seen him leaving for work as early as 4am to get his rig on the road. I spent several years as a kid working with him in his 3 HUGE gardens planting, weeding, tilling, picking and driving around delivering it to friends and family or taking it home and helping my Stepmom with canning and/or freezing it. Even now that he is retired after having a spinal problem he still works in his garden and helps out friends and family. I have looked up to him my whole life and am proud that he's my Dad. He isn't perfect but he is a very good man. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

hi again friend. as for me self discipline and passion for studying is what my father gave me from her genes. these are the positive traits because without them i think i did not even finished my college.my father thought as good moral value as well as remind as always that self discipline is his way of surviving the life he had lived and since we are his offspring we have the same trait too. the only bad thing that i inherited from my father,its not actually a trait but it is a condition and that is hypertension.good day.

My father is a wide reader. he reads almost all kinds of reading materials available at hand. He loves reading that is why even on his age, early 80's, he still have a very sharp mind. He is still thinking normally and not even experiencing memory loss, memory gap, or Alzheimer's desease. it is what I inherited on him. I am a wide reader,too. And I appreciate its importance and benefits on me. I want to be like my dad, growing old with a very sharp mind. Reading helps me widen my knowledge about different things in life. It enhances my vocabulary and construction of sentences.

My dad was firm but never raised his voice. No, I did not inherit that! But I did inherit his love of books and writing. He is still with me, thankfully. He gets a kick out of the idea that I am now a published writer! He had several things published locally when I was younger, and has kept a journal as long as I can remember in hopes of writing a memoir someday.

My father had many flaws. He was mean and insensitive. He was very closed-minded and didn't show much interest in our development. However, he tried his best to instill values and a strong work ethic in us. For that much, I am very grateful to my father.

My great-uncle(who adopted me) was actually the father-figure in my life, ctry. He passed away in 1981, and I still miss him so much. He was a very churchgoing, hard working man who did his best to instill good values in me. He used to take me to work with him sometimes during warm weather and taught me most of what I knew about cooking by the time I got married. I remember how he used to love for me to comb his hair and scratch his scalp. He had this big recliner that he would lean back in and I would talk to him about everything while I did his hair. He also taught me to count by helping him count up the money from the till he would bring home each night from my aunt's restaurant.

My Dad's best trait was forgiveness. No I didn't inherit it. But I didn't drink like a fish like him either, so I have more of a memory than that. My Dad had ESP. He seemed to know things he could not possibly know beforehand. I hear and see things that others don't. Not exactly ESP, but we all seem to have inherited some kind of powers. So I guess that. Dad was hard-working and could really tell stories. I've been told that I can tell stories almost as well as he can. You're right, this could go on and on and on. . ..

My daddy is always on my mind, as he recently passed away in June as most of you know. Daddys best trait, he did pass down to me, and for that I will be forever grateful. Daddy taught me to treat others the way I want to be treated, and to turn the other cheek as two wrongs will never make a right. My daddy was a firm believer in family always coming first. So I guess his strongest trait would have to be patience, which he did instill in me.
