Building Blocks of Human Life & Personality (Part 3)
17. Truthfulness
Having a double agenda in your approach, thoughts, views, opinions, relationship, expression of love would never bring peace, harmony and trust in any relationship. A person must have the personality of “calling spade a spade”. This special personality might make some feel uncomfortable, especially from those conservative society and thinking; but most of the human who understand freedom and being honest would appreciate you being truthful all the time. Yo must look for the bigger picture, rather than buttering few people to satisfy them by neglecting the noble truth.
Kid with truthful personal would always favor freedom over autocratic, equality over discrimination, cooperation over personal selfish goals, candid opinion over satisfying others all the time, living to their dreams over living to achieve dream of others all the time etc.
18. Wisdom
A saying goes—— “Never confuse education with intelligence or knowledge with wisdom. They are not the same!”
(source twitter – @ProfFeynman )
A person with Ph. D. degree would have a lot of knowledge and higher education, but might lack the wisdom and intelligence to use it for himself/herself and for the benefit of the society. In contrast, a farmer with minimal education might have great wisdom and would impress you with his/her deeply touching thoughts and ideas.
Always seek for wisdom along with getting knowledge and education. Wisdom comes to those who have purity in their heart and mind, who favor helping people over gaining only personal goals, who are not biased (based on your personal interest/likes and dislikes) against any religion/race/gender/views/country, who seeks to use their knowledge for their own success and for the whole humanity, who consider every human as their friend.
Keep yourself far from anger, arrogance, selfishness, revenge to achieve the wisdom. Parents have to clean themselves of negative feelings to teach their kids about the importance of wisdom and its application. A biased/full of negative emotions person can never teach their kids to seek wisdom in life. Cleaning of negative energy must start from adults and it would be transferred to kids automatically.
19. Tolerance
Life is full of challenges; pain suffering, making mistakes, repeating same thing again and again, failure and fighting with negative energies to keep yourself clean and positive.————— This all needs high tolerance in your mind and body.
Examples————–
A small challenge appears in your life, and you have zero tolerance; you would never be able to cross that challenge and focus to find solutions.
You get hurt, you need a sound mind to get the bleeding stop and get a help. Only a tolerant mind would be able to do that.
You are in a situation where a person is upset with you, tolerance would make you calm and help you understand the grievances of the other person, listen him/her, explain your side and solve problem. Intolerant person would lambaste against another upset person.
A group is bullying you, and being tolerant, you would be able to find a subtle way of replying to bullying without getting hurt. Getting physical is the end point. Using your sane mind to give a befitting reply should be your first priority.
20. Imagination
All humans are born with some imagination—– It is people around us who nurture or kill that imagination.
Human imagination has led to some many inventions and innovative things around us. The society and people who appreciate imagination have become successful in the world and have given hundreds of inventions to mankind. Societies who have crushed imagination of people have suffered with colonial power, poverty, hardship, unproductive rules and laws, unproductive management and dullness.
Kids are the powerhouse of Imagination——— Parents must nurture and let that imagination grow so that the kid and human can benefit from it and humankind would take one more step to prosperity.
21. Friendship
A friend in need is a friend indeed”
To make friends, a person has to deserve friends. It means, you too have responsibility of learning skills and knowledge of preserving friendship and nurturing it. That person would make a lot of true friends in his/her life.
Not many people understand the true meaning of friendship and give effort to nurture it. Kids can learn the basics of friendship to share their LOVE, KNOWLEDGE, STRENGTH and PROSPERITY. It will make them as well as their friends successful in life.
22. Kindness
Kindness is a special personality trait which we all have by birth——– some families nurture it by allowing kid to play with animals, let them show their sadness and love for them………. And others hinder it by calling animal love a dirty job and being sad a weakness.
Kindness means being empathetic to any organism on the earth and give equal freedom to that organism and show love.
23. Caring
We care about people and animals, we love. We show our caring behavior by understanding our loved ones and helping them in their path of success.
caring does not mean to poke loved ones all the time, interfering in their matters without an invitation, showing authority, forcing them to follow your advice/suggestions, expecting them to come to you all the time to seek advice, getting angry with them for not following your dream path, expecting something in return for your care for them etc.
Many people consider above written thins as part of “CARING” their loved ones, which is completely wrong, if you have better understanding of personal space and freedom.
24. Fairness
Fairness brings happiness, equality, peace, strong bonding, cooperation among people. Some times, the solution of fairness might not be likes by people in the group, it is wise to let them understand that the ultimate goal to create an equality among all members; to achieve that goal fairness is the only approach.
Once you understand the meaning of freedom, your would always seek fairness in your job, thoughts, approaches for yourself as well as for those you love.
Example ——-
Learning fairness from an early age would teach kids to share their part to create equality, to enhance friendship bonding, to share their happiness and to maintain justice. In the long run, it would led them to be a productive and responsible human being of the society.
25. Restraint
Control on your emotion, body, mind and self-discipline would make you calm, much more focused, positive, more understandable and problem solving oriented.
This trait would help you to have a situational awareness, understanding of the feeling, aware of the objectives and hardworking.
You can learn new skills, solve problems, understand others, find possible solutions easily, have deep understanding of things, achieve objectives in time, have a prosperous life, when you are self-disciplines and have good control of your mind, body and emotions.
27. Compassion
Compassion for yourself.
Compassion for other people.
Compassion for animals.
Compassion for those who have emotion, sense and feelings.
And, expressing that compassion to those who need it without expecting anything in return.
28. Integrity

a. Keeps his/her promises.
b. Honors his/her words.
c. Follows his/her principles.
d. Fights for the justice.
e. Would not compromise with the idea of freedom and equality.
