I will be dropping my entry below as touching to the given engagement contest titled my 3 best characters vs 3 worst characters. So sit tight and I wish you happy reading.

It will not be proper to delve into the given topic without explaining in brief what character implies, so as such I will be defining the term character to give us a guide to the contest topic.

WHAT IS CHARACTER

Source

Character can be seen as a natural phenomenon in which an individual exhibit consciously. It is practically the behavior of a person which he or she portrays in the society, his family, and beyond.

Character can also be seen as the attitude which a person showcases as an individual in the community. Character can also be be regarded as a habit because it is seen constantly in a person.

From one's activity, and his behavior towards others, one can tell if a person is good or bad, if a person is polite or rude, if the person has respect or lack respect and so on.

MY 3 (THREE) BEST CHARACTERS

According to this question, I will be answering it by telling us all abour my 3(three) best characters and they are as follows.

This is the first on my list. Bring so simple has been my thing for long, and that's what has made me to learn greatly, things that I do not know and I am still learning today.

I do not take age as anything but a number and that has made me to achieve good and benefiting things in this life. I am a calm headed person and as such, it makes me to be teachable and not to be proud.

There are things that I do not know for sure and as the class rep in my class, I go to my subjects and plea with them to help me out, be you old or young and I also give others listening ears should anyone have something to say, I am always available to them.

This is the second on my list. Respect is reciprocal they say, and as such, I give respect to everyone irrespective of your age, size, and height. So it doesn't matter if I am older than you or if your are older than I, everyone get respect from me.

I am a teacher and also a business man, as such, I often come in contact with people of different calibre both old and young. And I have learned from my home to always respect my elders but I was never taught to respect my younger ones truth be told.

And that is a good moral upbringing. Teaching them practically to respect both their elder and younger ones is a good character that is embedded in me.

I have come to realize that telling lies is not worth it especially at my age. I always tell the truth no matter what it takes and I don't regret after telling the truth.

There are cases whereby people do confront me on some particular information, probably wanting to know what is going on and then come to me for the truth, without hesitation I will tell the truth even If it will affect me.

If I did a thing and I am being questioned about that particular thing, I always come out plain to tell the truth be it am guilty or not. Just the way it is, in same way will I speak it without adding or subtracting an information from it.

In my place of work, I have seen people coming to work late and then in the staff sign-in book, they always indicate that they came earlier and then sign in by inputting the an earlier time. This is a wrong behavior done by most of the staffs.

But whenever I come, I always indicate the exert time I came in without lying, and as such, most of my colleagues hate me for that act. They always regard me as a man of God who doesn't have a skeleton in his cupboard. But then, I careless about them and do my thing by telling the truth because it's worth it.

WOULD I ADVICE OTHERS TO DISPLAY THEM?

Sure I will without hesitation. These attributes are good and they are healthy not just to you but also to the society where you come from, in as much as you have the above characters, then you will sure be loved by many and you will always be used as an example to orgers.

The above characters shows that good people still exists in this world, if you decide to stand out today and be the good person you always want to be, then I tell you, the world will sure be a better place for all to live in.

MY 3 (THREE) WORST CHARACTERS

Just as I have shared my 3 best characters, I will also share my 3 worst characters that I display which I am not proud of and they are as follows.

It is shameful and pathetic to say, but I have to say it. I am quick to anger and this I strongly condemn. Whenever I am wronged or talked carelessly to, I get angry easily and pour out whatsoever that comes out from my heart without considering the person I am talking to and this is a bad character.

Ir does not speak well of a person and that, I have been working on. Ir has been causing a lot of problems between me and my loved ones and that is what I hate. So this is one of my worst characters.

This is another worst character that I have. I do not forgive easily whenever I am hurt intentionally. Don't get me wrong, I do forgive but it not that easily especially when I know that someone offended me on purpose.

I normally take 2 to 3 weeks depending on the magnitude of the offence commited by the individual to me, and U often wait until that person come to apologize. And not just that, I have to see the sincerity in the apology before I can think about letting it go.

I am still trying in working on myself to be a better person because this character also scare people off my track.

Trust issues is also part of my bad character. I hardly trust people because of the things I have seen in life. In fact, this character has become a problem in my relationship with people and my spouse. I hardly trust people because of my experience with people in the past.

This character is so bad that, whenever I travel for either an event or an important thing from my location to another, I often call my spouse to know her whereabouts. So you can all see that it is bad and I am trying to stop it for good.

WILL I LIKE TO STOP THEM?

ofcourse I will like to stop them. These characters are bad and we all know that bad characters only scare people away from us most especially our loved ones. The people around us get affected mostly and are always the victims of our characters, and as such, it will be better to stop them as soon as possible.

WHAT EFFORT HAVE I MADE TO STOP THEM?

Currently, I am starting to trust my spouse even when I am not available. I have been away for like 2 months now and we have been communicating so well and things have been working out well, so that is a plus.

I have also began to let things slide whenever someone make me angry even before they come to me to apologize, for I have realized that holding grudges is not the solution and does not speak well about a person.

Now I am working on my emotions, not allowing things to bother me so well. Looking past other people behavior towards me is the goal presently, for I know with that, I will careless of what anyone do to me from hereafter.

So I have been making judicious use of the above steps mentioned to curtail my worst characters and I know with those, I will finally let go of them for good.

CONCLUSION
