How You Might Become a Better Person.
To become a better person with you and others, is a lifelong journey. Many qualities, knowledge, and skills must be developed since childhood and throughout your life. Some may come to you naturally. Others, you must acquire through the different seasons of your life.
1. Be well educated. It doesn’t mean that you must have a degree from an accredited institution, but you must strive to attain an education that enables you to think critically and independently.
2.-Be a free-thinker. Free of dogmas, politics, religion, social pressure, traumas, symbols, myths, legends, etc.
3.-Be analytical. Strive to see what others don't see. Don't accept the system to condition your thinking. Use your senses and reasoning. Don't believe everything you see, read, or listen. Analyze further and come up with your conclusions.
4.- Learn another language. Moreover, strive to learn to read books in that language. This valuable skill will help you gain a deeper understanding of different cultures. Imagine you could read the works of famous authors in their original language. It's like opening your mind to another world.
5.-Be well-read. Yes, and this is to strengthen the above quality. Books and books, the more you read, the better.
6.- Be sociable. Be sincere. Love people. All people.
7.- Become a lover of nature. Love and protect the animals. Don't go out there to disturb their lives. Respecting nature is the best way to show your love for it. Love nature, the trees, the flowers, the animals, rivers, lakes, and the seas. Don't pollute those places with your garbage.
8.- Become fearless. Now, this is a difficult quality to acquire. How can you defeat your internal fears, traumas, those things to hold you back, hinder your progress, and impede you from being who you want to be? Exercise your boldness. Be brave, practice your willingness to go against the stream. Be a challenger, always proposing new ideas.
9.- Be Creative. Artistic. Strive for that. We all have a creative side. We all have imagination. These are tools we must learn to use. There is within you a tiny spark that may become a great flame if you nurture it. Train your imagination as if it were a muscle.
11.-Become a well-travelled person. Explore other places and meet people.
12.- Become an inventor. You may not become another Thomas Alva Edison, Morse, or Bell, but you can invent something that creates an impact. As I said, use your imagination.
13.- Be natural. Legitimate. Authentic. Be the one you feel you are. Never try to accommodate others. Being yourself is the greatest treasure of all.
14. - And above all, be humble and grateful. Don't boast about your achievements. Make them speak for you.
Notwithstanding the above, the most effective quality, knowledge, or skill to make you a better person is in one divine sentence: Love Thy Neighbour Like Thyself.
