What are the good qualities people have?

Punctual

In my opinion being punctual is one of the most important qualities. If you are late for an interview, a meeting or work, then you say negative things about yourself. If you are punctual, then people will think that you are reliable too. They will trust you and it will be easier for you to get promoted at work. I like to be punctual. If I promise to meet someone at 5pm for example, then you can be a 100% sure that I will show up at exactly 5 o’clock, if not a little early. Should something come up unexpectedly, then I’ll give the person a call and tell them I’m running late.

Modest

My neighbor is extremely modest despite the fact that he is rich. He never shows off, although he could. He could also afford to drive a Mercedes or a BMW, yet he chooses to drive a Ford. He could buy a mansion with 12 bedrooms but he has a house with only four bedrooms. When he comes over to celebrate one of our birthdays, he hardly accepts anything we offer him. I respect him for these things so much that I vowed that if I achieved some great things in life, I would remain modest too.

Patient

I always try to be patient and I don’t enjoy being around other people who are not. There’s no point in winding yourself up and making yourself nervous. In the end, you will realize it anywaythat it’s absolutely unnecessary. I see people getting angry easily if there is a line at the cashier or in the post office and they have to wait. I take things easy. I don’t get emotionally involved. I know that sooner or later the line will move and it’s going to be my turn. I use public transportation quite often, and most people start to get impatient when they can’t find a seat. I think it’s absolutely unnecessary. If you complain, you will only do harm to yourself. When I’m driving and get a red light, I wait patiently till it changes, although sometimes it seems like hours before it does. I am patient at work too. I don’t like to rush or get flustered.

Reliable

I am reliable. That’s how I was brought up. If I promise something, I’ll do it. You know I am a building contractor and it’s a must that you are reliable. If I wasn’t reliable, I wouldn’t have work. I know a person who is a building contractor too but he hardly has any jobs. He’s managed to earn a bad reputation for himself because he cheated many of his customers. He asked for money from them upfront but then he was late on the work and the quality was bad as well. Some of his customers even took him to court.

Good-hearted

One of my cousins is a very good-hearted person. If she receives a bar of chocolate, for example, she will share it with the other people around. Everyone will get an equal share. She owns a cafe in town and whenever a family member or a close friend comes in, she will treat them anything they want, for free of course.

Generous

Someone who is generous helps others in need immediately. He doesn’t wait until he is asked for help. I know a person in my town who is very generous. He is rich of course, but not every rich person helps others. He donates lots of money to charities. He actually gives 50% of his income away through different aid programs. He would give even the shirt off his back to anyone in need.

Helpful

Our neighbor is extremely helpful. Whenever we need help, he is always there for us. When we ask him for something, he comes to our aid at once. Last month, for example, our car broke down on the highway. We called him and he came to our rescue immediately and towed our car to a service center. When something goes wrong in the house, he comes over and fixes it right away. He doesn’t expect anything in return. He does everything unselfishly. Our relationship is so good that even if there is some kind of spiritual problem, we try to help each other.
