Question for April 2nd-5th

After a little break from blogging, we are ready to go again. Our next chapter is about "nature versus nurture". Can you give me one or two examples of personality traits that you got from your parents? Also, do you think these are good traits or not? For example, one of my sons is a serious thinker like his dad. He never accepts an easy answer. He wants to know who, what, why, when and how for everything we are doing. I think this is a good trait although it does drive me crazy sometimes!

In my case, I sometimes insist my opinion very strong like my father. This looks very good when I decide my way or argue some subjects in discussion. However, my stubbornness personality causes trouble my family with non-important things, so my mother dislikes my personality. Therefore, this persistence is weaker than before. By the way, I want to make this personality appear in proper time such as saying my belief or truth, although I know these actives are very difficult to me, but I think this is best way to my old personality.

I’m a reticence and strict person exactly like my father. Outdoor, I’m a very quiet person. For instance, most of my friends said that they felt like they couldn’t get along with me at the first time they’ve seen me. The reason for this is that I didn’t talk to them or take a look at them. Sometimes I just want to watch or think about something and say nothing. Like my father, if I care or worry about something, I just take a quick look at them and ask one or two question for the cause and the result. Indoor, I’m very strict with my family members, especially for my younger sister. For example, she has to obey other members because she is the youngest person in my family. I believe that these characters make me become an unfriendly person. Even though I know it is not good traits, I cannot change my personality. Everyone call me a perfectionist. I’m not sure about that, but it’s true on some particular aspects. Because I admire my father the most, I want to keep these characters which I am inherited from my father.

I am often angry something easily though it doesn't matter, and people said my anger inherit from my mom. Sometimes i don't calm down to solve my problem, i only seem angry. My dad said that is my biggest imperfection. He advised i should be more patient when having trouble. He said i had to face my trouble, calm down and find proper solution for that. If i am just angry, i cannot think out any things, and everything can be worse. I should correct it right now. I think this characteristic is not good for me. Now i try to overcome my imperfection to be better.

For me, my parents teaching give me
good things and bad things. When I was young our family are believe in confucianism. And I strictly learn about propriety. Time passed by our family become a christan. But propriety still remained in me.
It gave me good things such as strong patience,respect and undersyanding others. But it makes me shy and introvert person too.
These days I do my best to be a extrovert person. I think if I complement its bad sight, I can be more better person then before.

One of my good traits is patience that I got from my father. When I have hard things take much time, I'm not hurried to get it done. Step by step I finish steadily toward the result I want. It is really sigfinicant in important things such as goals, relationships. For example, two years ago, I was pretty fat so I worked out everyday instead of taking diet pills to lose weight. Furmore, my patience help me in facing with difficults that I think I might not manage and almost give up. By the patience I could then figure out ways to sovle its problem and continue to reach goals. In sum, I'm very happy to have this useful trait of my father.

I am really an easygoing person which got from my father. Usually I don't have anxiety for something, and I have an optimistic view of my life. My mother, on the other hand, has a short temper, so she doesn't like this trait actually. Even though sometimes this might make a little problems, like being slow in my work or making other people worry, I think it is a good personality trait because I never feel under stress or be easily annoyed.

chris said...

Actually,I'm a stubborn person same as my father.If I really want to get something, I have to do it untill finished. when I went to my uncle's house, he always said that my father was extreme obstinacy person.On the other hand, my mon doesn't like my traits because she uesd to suffer from my father's behavior,so she always worried about me, but my father always said to me " I know you have a same as my trait,but it's good for the man who will manage their own company". So I'm still continue my trait, but i will never cause any problem with relationship.

I got put-going personality traits that I got from your parents. It is really good for challenge something because I can make simplify easily than other people. Secondly, if I failed something, then i can start right away without disappoint. Therefore, I think these are good traits for me. I always trying to have fun when I doing something. This is really good for relationship.

I am a worrier like my mom. When I start to do something new, I start that from worrying about that. Worrying about something makes me prepare that thoroughly. Preparation is very good to settle something, so sometimes I did a good job. However, the problem is that I get stress too much during working. Since all the while I do something I keep worrying about that, even though I make a really good result after all, I am really exhausted. I think, worrying about something is not that bad if I can control worries. Therefore, I need to practice to control my worrying habit.

Huan said...

Almost of my friends said I'm an easygoing girl,I think I just like my mom. I always smile to people, even when I am walking on the street.Sometimes it can helps me to make friends easily. Just like my name "Huan", in Chinese that means happiness,I like my name very much,thanks my grandpa to giving me a wonderful name~:-)

I resemble my mother in that both of us are a serious worrier. My mother always asks someone's advice whether she could do something or not. Similarly, I’m not sure about not only renting a house, but buying a pen. However, timid personality is not always bad. I never regret my decision because I think very carefully when I decide important something. In short, I’m very happy about to be similar to my mother’s personality.

Betty said...

I think obstinate and buying stuff that traits like my parents. First, sometimes I am obstinate. For example, if I think the event is right. I think no body could persuade me unless it has any evidence. The other thing, I like buying stuff. I like shopping and see advertisement that is about shopping mall. In taiwan, there are many gifts that I could change if I go to shopping mall. sometimes I notice what gift I could change this week, or I just buy some stuff I could change a gift. Therefore, there are two traits likes my parents.

Sometimes, my traits like my mon, a small thing makes me feel angry very easily. i don't like this trait, because this character makes me easy to excite to do the wrong thing always. I try to change myself, and let me express more friendly and get along better. On the other hand, i am always according to the rules on my work, this is like my father.

I don't know myself because I sometimes have good opinion and always have a bad opinion. I am weak person because my father want to protect me about everything,so I have a few independance. I don't like it. My father and my mother have given a lot of loving. He didn't want me to do some job because he want me to study hardly.However I'm crazy if he commended me to study hard and I can't study hardly. I went to go out my house and played something with my friend before. I have had to insist my opinion.I want to change myself,but this is so hard. Now I Love my parents but don't commend something hahaha.

Actually I think there are not many traits alike between me and them. Therefore, my parents used to say sometimes they really doubt that am I really their son? We just look alike, but our personality and some habbit are very different. Such as none of my family members play Ma-Jong, and no one can smoke. However, I usually do the stuff they never do. If I really have to say there's one thing we are similer, I think all of us are stubborn sometimes.
