Have you ever felt someone is better than you are? If yes, in what aspect?
Yes, feeling that someone is better than you is not bad it helps you to work more on yourself and improve. So on several occasions, I have seen people better than me and I wish I could be like them at some point.
In my school, during my undergraduate days, there is a friend of ours who is extremely very good in all the academic side. I admire him so much and wish to be like him because he comprehends easily and he is good at doing research.
My case was the opposite because I spent more time on my studies since I was a slow learner. I wanted to be a fast learner just like this friend of mine so I admire him greatly. I made an effort to be like him but I later discovered that we are all wired differently so the level of our comprehension must always differ.
So I accepted my fate that way but I admire him and wish to be like him because I needed such knowledge or brain as the case may be. So the answer to this question above is yes. Everyone who wishes to grow must always admire and wish to be like someone else.
Mention 3 personalities or features of your life you don't like and would love to change
Everyone I guess has some bad side that he or she would continually work on to ensure that they eliminate to make them a better person and my case is no different.
One of the features I wish to change strongly is the feature of anger. I get easily annoyed and I have worked on this for a while but all efforts to eliminate it have proven abortive. Because of this, I like staying isolated from others.
Another major feature I don't like is the feature of laziness. I'm a lazy person when it comes to doing research and further studies and this has limited me so much. I wish the feature of laziness will leave me for good so that I can confidently and tirelessly study even more do more research and also know more.
Lastly, the personality or feature I wish to eliminate is the feature of low self-esteem. I have a very low esteem and that has made me not grow at all. So with all the three features eliminated in my life, I guess I will be a better person.
Do you think it's healthy thinking or reflecting on your Imperfections and mistakes?
Yes, it's good to think about your imperfections once in a while because that is what will make your strategies work hard to eliminate them. Once in a while you take a break and examine your life for a while that is the only way you can grow more.
According to Socrates "an unexamined life is not worth living" This means a life that doesn't sit once in a while to check themselves is not living. So we all need to always take a break and then check our lives and see if they are good or not.
In this way, we can improve them by working on all the faults we find in ourselves. This will make us a better person to ourselves and the community we find ourselves.
If you were given an opportunity by God to change your looks, would you or you'll maintain?
No no no, I love my looks and I wouldn't want to change it for any reason. People like me the way I look too because they always say I'm unique and wonderfully made by God.
So I would like to maintain my look and won't want any changes aside from the features I have listed above. Those are built things that if given opportunities I will want to change but my physical looks I won't want to change it for any reason.

Your understanding of the importance of reflecting on imperfections and mistakes is wise. The Socrates quote adds depth to your perspective. Continuous self-examination is indeed key to personal growth. Well-articulated thoughts..
I had come to accept the fact that, there are some things I'll have to put ×2 the energy every other person does and I feel like accepting that made it easier for me to deal with the feelings that come with seeing others not struggle for some things.
It's a struggle many people have to deal with, but I feel like knowing this fact does a whole good.
