What are the best traits that you admire on other people ? Why?

I think you are correct, caring for others is the most important trait. I think that most of the entire world's problems would be solved if everyone simply cared about the people around them. They wouldn't have to be friends, or even have to like their personalities, just care about their well being, help when they can.

I admire wonderful parents. They set an example for me as I work to raise my son. I admire the people who work continuously to teach their kids through example. I hope that I can provide a loving, stable, christ like environment for my kids as well.

Straightforwardness, Honesty and Respect. There are some of the traits that I try to find in people. Although you can find it, but it's usually in some other sense than you usually imagine. They are straightforward about criticism. But not about praise and encouragement. Most people will always tell you that what you are doing is bad and wrong, but only few people will tell you that you are on the right path and encourage you to do so. Honestly, very few people are honest. When it comes to their deals, they expect your honest, but if it's something related to you, you can bet that most of them are not honest and try to dupe. Respect. For all the wrong things. Makes me sad to see that many people do not have such common traits which would make them feel more better. bourne
