~ Personality ~
In general, I have tried to take the best of both my parents’ traits: my mothers calm, consideration, and my father hard-working generosity and sense of humour. Another thing my parents showed me was that being a good person is the only thing that really matters; I don’t care if you are a rich, smart, and handsome, or if you are poor, illiterate, and failing school – if you show me you are a good person then you have my respect. I don’t like fighting, even with words ~ it’s pointless to argue, instead I prefer to listen and discuss, and I generally never get angry. The one thing however, that makes my day, is if I can bring a smile across at least one person’s face. I love to talk, but more so I love to listen; generally I find those who love to listen also have the most to tell afterwards. Someone once told me, “Those who say the least, have the most to talk about”, which kind of stuck with me. Also, as you may have noticed, I tend to rant on, so if you feel the need to, let me know and I will move forward =)
