The best and worst
Permalink  

What is your worst personal habit? What thing about yourself would you change if you could?

AND...

What is your best trait or talent?

I have several, which are admittedly related:

Vices:

Pride
Envy
Impatience
Pessimism/Cynicism
Critical-ness
Procrastination

Virtues:

Hmmm... gotta think on that for awhile.

Oooh, for bad habits, definitely pride and procrastination. For my best? Mmmm. I don't know if it's my best trait, but I am pretty much happy no matter what.

A prideful, procrastinating Pollyanna... --I guess that's me.

Well, let's see:


Worst



  • Perfectionism (meaning I don't want to do something if I can't do it perfectly the first time)

  • Procrastination

  • Disorganized

Best



  • Optimism

  • Uh, well, uh--optimism

I guess I'm optimistic that I can overcome my bad traits.  I think we tend to sell ourselves short by seeing the bad a lot easier than the good--but that's human.

My Best:


I'm practically ready to be translated...


 


My worst habit:


From what I hear from heaven, I'm still FAR too humble to be accepted in heaven quite yet.

Worst:


I'm too much of a doer and not enough of a thinker. I get soooo impatient in planning meetings with all the minutiae. So I usually jump into things without a lot of prior planning, hoping to "figure it out as I go along."  I usually end up reworking things that could have been done right the first time had I spent a little more time in planning. 


Best: 


I can examine issues from perspectives different than my own and find value in them, even if I don't agree.

Yep, I'm digging in the basement of LDS Discussions today. biggrin

I've been thinking about this exact thing lately.

I have a lot of vices, but I think the top two are:
fear, the anti-faith
personal pride

My virtues seem harder to nail down, so I'll just say:
desire to do good

Man, there's a lot of threads that came around before I joined/paid attention to Bountiful!

I would say my best is my ability to teach and my cheerfulness despite my depression.

My worst is that I am a complete lazy slob. And a chicken. And I have a hard time forgiving when someone REALLY hurts me badly. And...

Yes, that was the time when Bountiful was the quintessential virtual male bonding experience... out in the virtual woods, beating virtual drums around a virtual campfire... Ray and our Bountiful Jason running around in virtual loinclothes... back when the men were men, and the women were too...  wink.gif  rofl.gif

I think this place is still a lot like that...  you guys have some bizarre (wouldn't touch that subject with a 10-ft pole) discussions...  Not to mention I doubt there are 2 of you politico types that even come "close" to agreeing with someone else... That's a fairly "guy thing" to do... (disagree just to disagree...)

Course I am pretty sure I am a woman so I can't be trusted to actually be a man... weirdface
