List 3 characters of yours that are the best or good characters that you have. Explain them and how you display them

---

• Hard working

• Mind My business

• Self reliance

Hardworking - This is one of the greatest character of mine, nothing even comes close to the level at which I dedicate into working hard, especially when I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel i'm working on, then nothing can stop me from achieving that dream.

At times when I don't get the commendations, I commend my self with the word "I'm trying" , from my little age, I have always strive for whatever I want, and one way or the other, I make sure I get it, I make sure I work hard towards it, not that I'm doing it for a show off or something to get praise about, but do it because I definitely need the win.

Minding My Business - I have always tell people that they don't know how peaceful it is if you choose to ignore unnecessary things and focus on your business, to me , not minding my business is a distraction, it's something that has made people slipped from the price and let them loose focus.

Minding my business character doesn't neccesarily justify that you shouldn't care about others, it simply justify that you should know what you care about, I have developed this character ever since I read the book "The subtle act of Not giving a ****" , this book made alot of changes to my perspective and relations, nowadays, I choose what should take my time and what shouldn't take my time.

By minding my business, I get to ignore unnecessary attention and focus right on the price of what I'm aiming at, and the moment you are focus, then , nothing is stopping you from getting your goal.

Self reliance - Self reliance and my level of independence has been one of the things that led me here, I grew up among friends and families who are used to getting whatever they need from their parent or there close ones, but I genuinely desire not to have that kind of life, and choose to create my own path, and hopefully be successful at the end.

I enjoy the habit of self reliance, it breeds independence in me, it's what I love doing, it sort of gives me the freedom to do what I want whenever I want it, when you are self reliance and not dependent on anybody, you tends to work harder knowing that you have no back to fall on.

My self reliance has been something that has always push me to success day to day, I often don't seek help from others, so in the case where I'm having problems with some situations, I'm used to getting it solved on my own, I enjoy been the tutor not the Tutee, I love helping others not others helping me, so for this, I have always try to work myself towards succeeding on everyday task, thou it doesn't go without a say that everyone needs help in a way or two, but what matters is how you seek the help and extend it to others as well.

---

Would you advise others to display them?

---

To some extent, yes I would advise people to display them, but not everyone have the perfect mindset to such situation , as it's not everyone who loves being self reliance so in this case, I might not advise them to do so especially if they are used to getting things done through others as well.

My character behavior doesn't neccesarily portrays good or bad, it only portrays what I feel it's good or what I feel it's bad, but the above character are considered good enough for me, and it would as well do others with the likely mindset as me to enroll in such character as well.

What are the 3 worst Characters that you sometimes display that even you condemn?

---

• Not easily Forgiving

• Don't like keeping Friends

• Laziness

Not easily Forgiving - I am not so easy to work with, I don't fancy people or much staying with others especially when it's not in my comfort zone, I hardly forgive people, reason why I don't like keeping Friends either, when people do wrong to me, it has always been a chance with them, which afterwards, I stay far away as much as I can.

Don't like keeping Friends - I'm used to being on my own, even when I was in high school, I got a hostel room of single, right from time , I have had a bad experience with wrong set of friends who thus led me to a huge trouble, I believe the experience ever since still sort of traumatized my interest in keeping Friends.

I don't like people's company as much, I just sort of prefer staying on my own which most people have always tag this as a bad choice, but regardless, I'm finding it very hard to let such character go as I'm used to it, and the character sort of leave Me in peace, I'm still trying to change towards it thou.

Laziness - This is also one of my worst character which I'm gradually trying to get rid off, I'm too lazy attimes when doing jobs, reason why I have always gone for the easy ones.

My laziness still get the better side of me whereby I just overlook some condition, especially when it's not in my comfort, I don't make further effort or strive to get it, this is a terrible character I also plan on getting rid of someday.

---

Will you like to stop them? What efforts have you been making toward stopping them?

---

Yes, I would love to stop some of this character as I believe I am in full capability to change however I want overnight except for the laziness part.

I have been making some adjustments to my social life, which thus improve on how I relate to people and I make them feel welcome as well, not as if I enjoy the idea of keeping Friends either, but I just need to do it regardless as it's one of the things grown ups are expected to do.

Regarding laziness, I have been making some great achievement tackling that, firstly, I have made some list of things I need to accomplish, and therefore , I have set some timeframe for them, and also I have beginning to have some sort of interest on how to keep doing better and giving my all to any situation I might find myself.
