1. Virtues: The Gifts of Character analysis.

VIRTUE THAT
I HAVE
Reliability
I’d like to think that I am
reliable in my daily life because comfortable with myself is a
I am very open and willing to
hear my friends and family out
if they have problem. In
addition to that I feel like
people can and have trusted me
in the past with their problems,
concerns, or feelings. To have
realized this virtue about
myself is important for me as
I’d like to be useful in a
relationship, where I am able to
also give instead of just take
and to have realized that people
trusted me to always be there
for them. I also feel like I am
reliable in a way that I am
trusted to finish my
responsibilities in my daily life.
Ambition
Ambition by definition is to
have a stong desire to do or
achieve something through hard mistakes and hurt others in the
VIRTUE THAT IS ON
PROGRESS
Confidence
Being confident and being
struggle that I face every second
of the day as I am not the type
of person who feel secure. All
my life I have felt like I was
never enough, be it in terms of
appearance, personality, or
intelligence. As a result
sometimes I am reluctant in
expressing and asserting myself,
I missed out on opportunities
that I never even try, and felt
powerless. Thus, I have been
trying to be nicer to myself and
to have a positive mind set as
confidence is one of the most
important virtue to have in life.
Because If I don’t have
confidence in myself then who
will?
Forgiveness
We as human are often hurt or
wronged and we also have made and realized we are very much
VIRTUE THAT I’VE NEVER
THOUGHT OF
Acceptance
Even though I just realized that I
never thought of this virtue I feel
like it is an important one to have.
I believe that most people, myself
included rarely feel peaceful in
my day to day. Choosing to be
accepting on things that you
cannot change will make you
happier and more peaceful. It will
also allow you to focus on
something more important,
something that you can change,
and something that can bring
goodness into other people’s life.
Detatchment
I thought of this virtue recently
work and determination. I think
it is important to have this
virtue as it will help you in
determining your life. Whether
it’s your study, your career, or
how you present yourself. My
ambition in life is to be happy,
successful, and impactful to
others, and to try to achieve that who wronged me. However, by
I have decided to challenge
myself to study medicine.
Something that is not easy and
require hard work and is my
interest in life, thus allowing
me to be happy, impactful, and
hopefully successful.
past. To understand and accept
that nobody is perfect allow us
to be forgiving to others, and
sometimes to our self. However,
it is a really difficult virtue to
acquire as I tend to dwell on
their mistakes or wanting to get
revenge or to resent the person
focusing on these things, we
would not be able to focus on
more important things, as well
as embracing joy and peace. It
allows us to not be defined by
how we have been hurt.
Trust
Trust is the foundation in any
relationship. I as a social being
of course need other people in
my life. However this is a
virtue that I find most difficult
to acquire. In life, there had
been many times that my trust is us. Being tranquil also allow us to
taken for granted and used as a
weapon to attack me. I dislike
the surprise when someone that
I have trusted betrayed me. This
makes it quite difficult for me to
be able to built a close
relationship with people even
though I crave it as I am afraid
that they would hurt me.
attached to other people, ideals,
and technologies. For example,
how many minutes in a day are
we attached to our phone? We
never have time to our self and to
pay attention to our mental and
physical care. With this I will try
to to allow myself and those
around me the freedom to be as
they are without being tied to the
ideals that I myself and the
society have created. Moreover,
being detached allows for a
deeper involvement as we are not
attached if the outcome.
Tranquility
Tranquility is a state of serenity,
peace, and undisturbed.
Achieving tranquility in life will
allow us to be ready to cope with
change and unpredictability and
to accept anything that life throw
celebrate our uniqueness and not
worry so much about our self
image as others negative words
would not matter to us and will
not change the person that is our
best self.
 However, I realized that I can
sometimes be too distant and
not give people a chance.
Therefore, I am still trying to
conquer this.
