Upon reflection, we all have qualities that we feel are our best, aspects of our personality that are our strong points. However, we also recognize traits in others that we admire, or wish we had. What do you think is your best quality, and how could you use it to help others? And what quality have you seen in others that you would like to have or improve on in yourself?

I think one of my best qualities is helping people. If everyone could help each other more often, the world would be a better place

I think one of my aspects is my sense of humor ha. I mean... look at keller... u can't take everything seriously ha. Just make a joke and chill. Some people really need to lighten up. I use my sense of humor to make people laugh, smile and be happy ha. There are a few people i know that are really patient and carefree, i know for sure there are times were i need to lighten up too.

Oh ya.. The quality i should work on is being nice because sometimes when i tell the truth it hurts people's feelings.

i always try to stay positive, which helps me to encourage others, and to bring others hopes up. one quality i would like to obtain more of is patience.

I personally think that one of my best qualities is my dedication to many things. for example, education is very important so im dedicated to it. one of the qualities i would like to have is, being healthy. i know i dont eat right or the right time and i know that affects me. so, i do admire the healthy people.

My best qualities are that I am kind and I don't let my emotions take over my reasoning. One of the qualities that I wish that I had was to be more organized and have better time management.
I think my best quality is coming up with good ideas, inventive ones. But I would like the trait of actually speaking up and telling them not being scared of getting laughed at.

one of my best qualities about myself would probably be the fact that i'm able to befriend others easily..i think being open minded, nonjudgemental, and just willing to talk to and meet anyone really has aided me in having that quality....one quality that i wish i had more of would probably be being spontanious, i always admire those who are willing to make fools out of themselves just to have a good time and i know alot of people who are like that
I think one of my best qualities is the fact that I am pretty open minded when meeting new people. I try not to judge people before I know them. A quality that I would like to have is organization when it comes to that I am a mess.
I think one of my best qualities is I try to be positive all the time. I want to make a difference in as many people's lives as possible, and I feel that I can do that best by being nice to everyone... :)
i think that the best quality dat we hav is our personality...our personality descirbes who we are ....i sometmies wish that i had a diferent personality....i wish i was nicer...if people were juss simply honest and humble then maybe juss maybe this world would be way diferent....=((

I think my best quality is being active.
By being active i have A TON of energy that i could use to help other people.
Even if it's like homework, running, or just like anything else, i think it would be good for me to use my extra energy to help other people.
I want to improve on my patience.
I see a lot of people who can wait
like 3 hours in line for something they want.
i wait about 10-30 min. if it's something that i can live without.

Students:
i lost my cell phone today[tuesday]
and if you found it, i want it back please.
ill give you like $10 for being a great person.
oh yea. it's a teal juke phone.
from verizon.
thanks :]
I think that everybody should just be themselves. Quit trying to be something your not. Just be you, and when you do that, you will find people that respect you and enjoy being around you for you. You will gain true friends.
I think one of my best qualities is compassion. I find that many of my friends come and ask me what they should do in certain situations and I don't always know the answer but I always offer them a hug and say everything will turn out fine in the end.
One of the qualities I wish I was better at would have to be patience. I find that sometimes I just don't want to wait. I need to work on it.
I think one of my best traits is my sense of humor. I really like to make people laugh and it's really cool when you can turn someone's day around by simply giving them a reason to come out of their gloom, put a smile on their face, and have a good day.
But I really want to be more commpassionate and kind to people, as well as being someone who has the guts to stand up for someone even if their reputation is on the line.

i think my best quality is carring for others, putting others before myself. i really want to accompish my personal challange of responsibilty. i see only a few of my class mates completing all their tasks i see even more people not acomplishing anything, which is sad. my goal is to be able to complete my own tasks.
I believe my best quality is patience. I can put up with a lot of crap before finally going insane. While most of the time it's not really the best to sit back and be patient, it sometimes is so that other people can look and you, and slow down a little themselves and become more patient themselves. I find that patience helps you think things through a lot better, and it also helps you become more self-controlling so you don't go and do something stupid.
-Jacob Haun
I feel that my best quality which has always been there for me and others is my exuberance for life. Although, it can cause some bad side effects for both me and others(Risky Behavior). The rewards though, far out weigh the negative for me and I hope others.
The quality I wish I had more of is empathy. I work very hard at this but in certain circumstances I get extremely frustrated when I see weakness.
I think one of mine is Kindness. I like to be kind to others and like to be friends to others.
One of my best qualities is that I like to talk to people and I'm not so quickly judgemental, well sometimes but I'm not perfect. Something I could work on is to not procrastinate, just GET THINGS DONE!!!
Natalie Murdock
The many things I wish to Improve upon are what the people closest to me have. I admire them for maintaining those aspects, which helps me reflect, and think, "Oh wow, how wonderful is this."
Sometimes I really wish I had the confidence level others had, but then I realize, I'm the way I am because it is who I want to be. The highlight of my personality would be understanding people's views on certain circumstances and why it is what it is; I hold on to things like that instead of letting them go
>Dani
So I was trying to think of a quality that I like about myself but I really don't know which one I like the best lol I know this is probably stupid but i can't come up with anything :) but what quality I wish I was better at is staying positive when I am in a sticky situation I really start to freak out I think if I was better at staying positive then I would totally get myself out of sticky situations faster if that makes any sense at all :D
-Priscilla
I think my best quality is being able to look on the bright side of things and having optimism, I'm usually pretty good at helping people brighten up a bit. I'd really like to be able to be more comfortable with people and get rid of some social anxieties that I have.
-Hannah Wilkett <3
one of the qualities that i wish i could have would be nonjudmental. to often as soon as i meet a person or hear something that they say i judge them. So that would be that one that i need to work on. One of my best qualities that i think that i have is sticking to something. even when i do get discouraged most all of the time i still stick with it to the end.
A quality I think I portray well is always that Im a good listener. I always try to listen to people who need advice or help with a problem; I will listen to both sides of an argument before just jumping to conclusions and I always try to stay positive.
A quality I definatly envy in other is consistancy. Turning assignments in on time consistantly is hard for me and something I really wish I could achive. Also consistancy plays out in other parts in life like sports, in softball my throws arnt always consistant and I look at the girls on my team that consistant with them I feel jealous.
-Cindi Nance
A quality of mine that I think is one of my best is being trustworthy. People have come to me and told me things that they don't want repeated and I don't tell them to anyone.
A quality that I think I need to work on is being able to take criticism and not think that it is an attack on me or my idea. I need to take it as constructive and not dwell on what the person "might have meant" by their comment.
My best quality is getting along with people. I also have a good strength in helping people out when they need it, and those two things together can go a long way in helping someone out.
i think my best quality is being open to both sides of an argument. i don't care if i believe a part of both statments. i want to change how i dispose of my garbage.

well...
hmm...
let me think about this
well i think my best quality is being friendly and always having a smile on my face
(well at least most of the time :D)
this can help others by if there having a bad day and i can bring there spirts up!
a quality i think i would like to have that i've seen in others is probley punctual
im late for everything
its pretty sad but ya
i think one of the best qualities i have is i always work hard and never give up.. but the quality i would like to obtain is patience.
i tihnk my best quality is that i am very independant, i dont rely on my family or friends for things. i would like to be more motivated i see alot of students that do good and school and are very motivated, that would be one quality i would like to posess.

I think one of my best qualities is being a good listener, if one of my friends is having a bad day and need to talk I try to always be there for them. One qualitiy I think that I need to improve on is being more outgoing I am always shy and I need to break out of my shell...
i'd say that my best quality is my leadership abilities. i have had the opportunity to display this quality on the sports fields and hope to try and transfer it to the classroom. my quality that could use work is my work ethic. i know i have the ability to do somethings but i just don't show the drive to do them. the one that i see in others and wish i could have would also be work ethic, there are some people that are just born with that kind of drive.
Sam Cook
I think my best quality is being able to listen. I really like to listen to what people have to say and I like to give advice too (although I dont know how good that is..) I need to be more organized and be more dedicated to things (responsiblity).
I really admire people that are honest but not to brutally honest because sometimes that hurts people.
Another ablility I have is being able to talk a lot (I'm quiet in your class because I enjoy Science...) but if you ask people I'm a very talkative person.
I try to be positive and patient but I cant stand people who just give up quickly (like on the test) I try my best and make the most educated guess I can. I really think that everyone can work on all qualities to become the best person they can.
Canoy
i think my best quality is being a nice person and listening to people when they are in a rutt. i love to listen to how others are feeling and try to advise them what to do. i think one quality i would like to have is to better is helping people in need and giving back to the community i believe people that do that are pretty great.
i think that my best quality is not taking anything too serious and kinda just keeping things chill and i think i have good motivation. One quality that I'd like to improve on or get would be probably a little bit more diligence and patience im not a real good waiter and im not too patient
my best quality... i think it's my unique way of using my life, and i hope this can open other people's eyes.
a quality that i wish i had would be to keep temper, or be friendly. i have problem of making new friend.
I think my best qualitie is making any person i won't to smile when I feel like it. even if I have to lower and degrade myself for other peoples pleasure. I think I can use that by going up to someone sick on a bad day and turning it around for them. Some qulitys that i have seen in other people is self control and i think that i need that.
Mr, Keller why don't you talk to me during class?
I feel that my best quality is my conscientiousness, or the tendency to be self-disciplined, careful, hard-working, and to have a need for achievement. It also describes individuals who act according to the dictates of their conscience. I believe that this trait could serve me well in a the field of science, where many, often unsuccessful experiments are needed before any advancements are made. Such work requires hard work and reliability, and, as the dedicated scientists involved hope, when completed the work will help mankind, whether it is in the form of medicine, biotechnology, or further understanding of the world around us.
However, another quality that I have is neuroticism. This trait applies to individuals who experience more stress, guilt, and self-consciousness than others. In school, I often find myself stressing more than is necessary or even healthy. This is a trait that I see less of in others and need to reduce in myself as well.
I think my best quality is that I can make a joke out of anything. I use this quality to bring happiness to people lifes by cheering them up. There is nothing I would improve of myself.
my best quality?
uck i think itd be that im a total die-hard if im trying to achieve something i want..im passionate
but i wish i was more patient, and actually thought through the consequences of things that im about to do
that would save me a lot of trouble :]

My best quality is that I am nice to everyone mostly. I don't like being rude to people. The quality that I need to work on is my stubbornness. People get really irritated with me because I always stick with what I think and a lot of the time I'm not right. Ha. But in a way it's kind of good I guess. It's just something I probably need to work on.
My best quality is that I'm stubborn. Stubborn can be good and bad but I try to use it in a good way. Sometimes I'm stubborn about my grades. I fight the teachers until they give me the grade I deserve.
Some qualities I see in others that I want is kindness. Sometimes I'm mean to people but I want to try harder to be nice and not to let things get to me.
Characteristics I like in others is trustworthy, honesty, and intelligent. I don't care that they are smartest or anything but common sense! They also respect! All these are good and important characteristics to have.
Characteristics people say I have definatley respect if I'm shown it I give it until they no longer deserve it. I think I am very trustworthy and honest. I show people the best I can be! And I give 100% always!
