Steemit Engagement Challenge S5-W2 - My 3 Best Characters Vs 3 Worst Characters ".

Our character are those behavioral traits that can be used to describe us , more like characteristics . These characters have been formed over the years as a result of past experiences and teachings from someone ,most times from even peers or someone in the society that we look up to.

These traits good or bad are what forms our base truths and we tend to respond to events based on them , but like stated , some of them are “bad” and end up causing us or the people we love or people around us a lot of pain.

One interesting thing I will like to point out is that there is really nothing like a bad character , some character only become bad when exhibited in the wrong scenario or shown to people we shouldn’t. A serial killer is a serial killer because he killed people he shouldn't , this same person would be a hero if he killed a lot of terrorists.

SOME OF MY “GOOD ”CHARACTERS

Tolerance : Over the years I have found it so easy to accommodate people’s beliefs and not get into unnecessary arguments . I am of the opinion that people have a right to their opinion and as such at least give them a listening ear without looking to counter their voice, although when necessary I give my own opinions but not in the manner to counter theirs.

I can also take harsh words from people and resist the temptation of talking back, especially from elders.

TENDENCY TO HELP: How do you feel when someone asks for help from you or you see someone in need of something you have or can offer , something they may or may not be able to pay for? In these kind of situations I tend to find it hard to turn a deaf ear . I try to do my very best whether it be appreciated or not , even if it causes my a high level of inconvenience.

LOYALTY : If everyone deserts someone during a trying time , I am that friend that will still find a way to stick around. I have a great sense of loyalty to people I consider friends . I am also not the kind of person that tends to use a friend as a bad example when things go wrong for them , the “I know a friend that …. , syndrome”.

Would I encourage someone to emulate the above characters? Absolutely ! The above characters are gold .

SOME OF MY “BAD” CHARACTERS

Procrastination : Unfortunately I tend to procrastinate a lot, especially I things I don’t really like to do. I school I tend push my homework till the last minute before finishing up , especially in practical that are poorly organized. I tend to delay a lot if a finish time is not very clear. I have been among the last few persons to submit tasks on a lot of occasions.

Carelessness : This is one character I dislike the most but haven’t still been able to effectively shrug off. There are times when I find it hard to pay attention to people or even remember agreed arrangements or pay attention to certain details that I am being expected to observe. Sometimes it even gets to my dressing and grooming overall.

Commitment : If there is anybody that that finds it hard to get familiar to new things or routines then that is me. It just takes time for me to commit to things or even relationships and expectations in general.

Would I like to stop the above behaviors/characters? Oh yes , I would like to shrug them off within the shortest possible time.

SOME EFFORTS I HAVE TAKEN TO STOP THE ABOVE CHARACTERS

Procrastination : I am trying to stop this by splitting my tasks into small easy bits to make it easier to complete.

Carelessness : I try to not think about too many things at the same time and be more aware about myself and my immediate environment.

Commitment : I try to overcome this by creating a sense of belonging in any environment I find myself , and try to enjoy it.
