Hello, it is an honor to participate in this contest again, what a wonderful contest topic organized by steem4nigeria in the Engagement challenge S5-W2, the topic 3 Best Characters Vs 3 Worst Characters". I will love to share my Good and Bad character as required by this context relax as I share with you.

I see the act of giving as a character that someone needs to possess. I hate to see people in trouble, I can assist if I have the means, and even stretch my hands where necessary. I learn this habit of giving from my Late mother (May her soul rest in peace 😭😭) who always tell me this statement;

That statement is true because, if I help people, I receive blessings in turn.

It is another vital characteristic to accommodate people. People have different characters and behavior but how good are you to take them? For you to be accommodative you must be simple and not have pride or be arrogant.

Life has thought me so many lessons that make me understand that Nothing is permanent since everyone is subject to die one day. I see everybody as my brother and I love the children most.

The truth is that not every individual associate with other people especially when their class and standards are different, but I want you to know that being above others is an un-define privilege not right, I welcome everybody that comes my way irrespective of Education, wealth, or class differences. I bring myself down sometimes so that I can flow and learn from others.

for instance, some politicians during campaign rallies come to the street to associate with common citizens to display humble status, but once elected to office, they will never have anything to do with the common man again. That means simplicity and hospitality are important because they make others a positive view of you and your personality. I think simplicity and hospitality is a character we should adapt and make part of us.

I am a goal-getter, one thing I like about myself is that I am hardworking, I separate every form of joke and pleasure when it comes to working. I am always committed to my official responsibility and dedicated to achieving set goals.

When it comes to giving, I will advise you to try it, give without measure or expectations, and put a smile on the face of the less privileged, their pronounced blessing will always be upon you not course and your memories for good will never leave their minds. And even if you did not get an immediate reward your lineage will reap your good.

From the perspective of simplicity and hospitality, I developed myself to love everyone, and I accommodate everyone in my heart, I bet if you try it, there is a lot of blessing attached to it as well. You get more respect for growing as you, you tend to grow others when you allow them into you because that allows you to make an impact.

I have received several commendations for being hardworking and dedicated to my assignment. I don't only work hard but I work smart and adequately proficient to meeting up to assigned tasks or responsibilities if opportune, I just grow up to see myself being hardworking, which I think is more of what I am made of not what I pretend to do or display. I will advise you to work hard aswell. It pays to be hardworking.

Many people do complain about my habit of missing appointments and keeping them waiting, I am a very busy person and I do have a lot of supplementary commitments apart from my official appointments. In most cases, I will agree to meet up with a particular schedule within the day so if I have a list of schedules to meet up with, I will prioritize my schedule and drop some without notifying the other party that I have decided to cancel the appointment.

The problem is, I will keep the other person on hold or waiting for me with the probability that I may or may not show up. This act keeps many people complaining about me, but I try every day to see that I reduce it to maintain my integrity and respect. If my attention is needed to discharge a duty, I can not sub-delegate the responsibility because many believe no one else can do it better than I can. And I do that act to please my client and friends not knowing that I am hurting them the other way around. I am now learning not to start what I can not finish.

At some point, I thought of seeing the doctor check if I have a short-term memory, maybe they can increase my memory capacity to 1 Yottabyt (😁 smiles). The only thing I don't forget is myself but I can forget things easily, I have lost several mobile-phone and other valuable things because of forgetfulness.

At some point, I set an alarm on every commitment I have, write down valuable notes I need, and other important things to keep track of my activities and things I needed to meet up with. That helps me a lot with reminders. But despite all that, I still forget easily.

I have short temper, when you offend me, I clarified to you at that point that you are wrong and I let it go. It is more mature to correct someone's error in love and maybe after some time, but as for me, I don't have that in me for now. I believe in quenching the fire when it is burning even if it hurt me or the other person. The problem with short-tempered people is that we allow our temper to make decisions at that point which may be nasty.

Anger is a reaction we display whenever we are upset, I see anger as a default character that we are born with. Even an infant child will get angry and will not suck the mothers, who thought him that character?. But what makes us different is how we control our temper. I hardly get angry when I am upset.

Yes! I will like to stop keeping people in suspense, forgetfulness, and anger. To some extent, it those not pottery the image of who I am. I want to affect every individual life positively, having these characteristics is always a hindrance.

What I do to stop them is I always remind myself before going out that;

This is like a pledge to me and it does help me a lot to be on track most times.

I learn every day, and I always make sure I am careful not to learn negative characters. Thank you for the privilege. I wish to invite @yakspeace @ishayachris @gimbia to come participate.
