I can say that I have three important traits that made me survive amidst all chaos. I must say that im proud that I have them and those traits describe the real me. I am hardworking, persistent and always hopeful. I would always go for the greatest lengths in order to ensure financial and emotional security. I am persistent to things that are included in my list of priorities. More often too, I work for long hours just to make sure that no job is left behind for the day. Pretty sure , I wouldn’t put off things for tomorrow when I know I can do them today. Tell me yours too.

i can say that i am such a patient person and i'm proud of this traits. I also have traits of being a hardworking and loving person as a mother and as a wife. I am sensitive to other's persons feeling, that is why i think i have no enemies since i was young i don't like to hurt someone's feelings and i felt guilty if somebody is hurt because of me that is why i am more sensitive to other.

yes i noticed that too in you.sensitivity to others is one of your traits that i like the most. Unfortunately, sometimes people are often unintentionally insensitive simply because we are unaware of what others are experiencing.It’s not only insensitive words that can inflict pain. Sometimes saying nothing hurts too.

yeah you're right, i am the most sensitive person in the whole world i think, that is why sometimes i can't show my real me, and it's bad also... sometimes we have to let everybody knows how we feel towards them even though it hurts, but until now i don't have the guts because i can't sleep well if i argued with anyone... in short i'm good...lol!

Wow, I do admire you for that. It isn't hard for you to achieve your desires because you have these traits.
I guess those are the traits that I lack but Im so much willing to develop. As for me, I have merited a lot of affirmations from people because of my talents. I am very artistic (according to them), and I have a sense of humor that some people do really appreciate. I am also a flexible person and can find myself mingling with different kinds of people and their personalities. In other words, I can easily adjust to the people around me.
I also have a bit of everything like when it comes to singing, dancing, drawing, playing some instruments, wow, the list goes on. I suddenly realized how gifted I am. Thank God! May all of these give him glory.
I hope I didn't appear to be bragging. But you asked, so I answered!

i envy you.i wish i had those characteristics like yours too. i can sing and dance but it's not really about reaching the performance level. i only sing in the bath room and dance in my own bedroom in front of the mirror. I thinks some people have some natural talent, but I think hard work overcomes talent every single time.

those are great attributes.i assume you have lots of friends for having those characteristics. i am alos open minded to things that are out of my perspective. When someone expresses opinions that differ from yours, there is good reason to stop and listen. After all, you can be wrong! this is my principle:Think back; how many of the ideas that you held ten years ago have you changed? It's impossible for us to improve without CHANGING for the better. Our thoughts, opinions, and beliefs also need changing. Sometimes they need to be replaced. Other times they merely need to be broadened or improved by commingling the ideas of others with our own.

I am proud that I am for who I am...I am happy that I can look in others eyes..because I don't pretend and honesty is always first for me...I may sometimes a fragile one, but behind that there is sweetness and love in my heart...and even if some people hurt me, I never could do the same to them because thats just me...I feel proud too when my lovedones are proud of me...most of all I feel proud to know that God is always in me

I believe some of my traits I'm proud of having are the fact that I always try to find the positive in every situation. I'm also a romantic and very loyal. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and I'm genuine. Another trait I have and I'm proud of is the fact that I try to find contentment in the simplest of things. I'm not materialistic at all. I tend to be happy over the smallest things.

that's better. i agree with you.living a simple life always make everyone contented of life. "Not that I (Paul) speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Philippians 4:11
In being a disciple of Christ, we can learn to be content with what we have in life because God will give us those things which we really need in the life.

I like that I'm a creative person who loves to learn new things.
I'm not sure if I entirely like the responsible trait in me, or the stubborn one, but often all these traits combined can create some cool things -- even if it does bring me trouble with those I know. xD

While I'll admit I am a bit of a procrastinator, once I set my mind to things, they get done, and QUICKLY. I'm a very efficient and hardworking person, but I'm also myopic about details, so things do get done well. I don't sacrifice quality for speed. There's always a happy medium.
I'm intensely loyal to my friends and loved ones, but as the years go by I'm definitely more choosy about who deserves that unwavering loyalty and who doesn't. However, even acquaintances have my loyalty if they have been undeservedly slighted or wronged in some way.
I'm very patient. I like to do things quickly, and I lead a very fast-paced lifestyle, but when I need to I can literally wait all day for something I deem worthwhile. Unfortunately it means I've also wasted a lot of time sitting in fields while my ex-boyfriend checked out old wrecks to bring home. I guess I'm a bit of a fool when it comes to love, too. ;)

As I get older, I am more aware of my own personal strengths. I am a hardworker (realizing my family depends on me makes me this way), I am hopeful ( I know things have to get better) and I am self motivating. I think this is my best trait. I know when something has to be done, so I do it. I know we need food to eat, I have to go grocery shopping, I know the laundry needs to be done, so I do it so we have clean clothes to wear. At work, I know things need to be a certain way so I make the changes even if those changes are slow in the making. I don't need someone else to tell me to do it, because I know it needs to be done! I work long hours too, because I know my boss wants me there later in the day. I arrive early and stay late because I know she is counting on me to follow through. Even though I am tired from working all those long hours, I put a smile on my face (most of the time) and do what needs to be done.

I many traits that I would not consider myself proud of but there are a few that I am proud of. I am hard-working, independent, practical, and very much a realist. I will not tell you about the traits I have that are less than desirable.

I am a responsible and trustworthy person. I know what my responsibilities are and I do them sincerely without complaints. I am a kind of person that you can trust and lean on but I only have few friends because I don't easily trust people. LOL
