I have many shortcomings, I would like to get rid of them. I understand there are no ideal people, but there are very good, decent people with minor flaws. I would like to become like them.
To do this, I must cultivate in myself qualities that are opposite to my main shortcomings.
I lack determination, so I should cultivate this quality in myself. Decisiveness is a characteristic of courageous people. Therefore, it is necessary, starting with the little things, to overcome indecision and cowardice in oneself. My friend, without hesitation, rushed into the middle of the roadway, grabbed the kitten from under the nose of a rushing car. She took risks, the adults scolded her, and I was delighted with her decisiveness.
I do not have the dedication necessary to achieve my dreams, I often get distracted by other things, I get carried away by them, and the main goal remains unattainable. I also need to cultivate purposefulness. For example, while working on a computer, do not go away from business to the vastness of the internet.
Lack of discipline is the reason for my late vigils for homework and being late for my first lesson. You need to make a daily routine and try to follow it.My tendency to laziness means the need to educate such a human quality as hard work. I like to "hang out" on the couch with a book for a long time, while boring household chores and lessons remain abandoned until my parents arrive. Then everything is done in a hurry. We must give up this practice, first do everything necessary with a conscience.
I realise that I lack responsibility, and this is a necessary quality for adult life. I think I should work on it. If I have undertaken any obligations, I must be responsible for them. Irresponsible people are not respected. Once, my mother instructed me to pick up my younger brother from the music school, and my friends and I went to an ice cream parlour and forgot about him. Then I was very ashamed.
I would like to become an optimist. Optimists succeed in everything, people are drawn to them. If I fail, I start whining. And you need to be able to find something good in unpleasant life situations. This is taught by the book "Pollyanna" by Eleanor Porter in which a girl of a difficult fate knows how to find joy in everything.
I also need to become more responsive, less selfish. They say that if in the absence of love for people you start to do something for them, then love comes. When a person is not fixated only on himself and his problems, his life is fuller.
