humility

humble: not proud or arrogant; modest: to be humble although successful.
I personally try to be humble about most everything that I can be humble about. I feel it is necessary and definitely a good thing to be humbled occasionally. If we are not humble then we become to prideful and cocky. I personally do not think it's very good to think that you are superior to people. We must go through many experiences in life to gain experience in life and I think it is only right that we gain some humility along the way. I believe that if we are humble then we can also be empathetic to a broader community. It's so important to have empathy for a broad range of people and I believe that we gain empathy through humbling ourselves. It is best if we try to imagine what it would be like in another's shoes and be much more understanding of their situation before we try to judge them.

postive or negative? you choose

My personal attitude toward almost everything is optimistic. I try to always see the glass as half full. I think it is pointless to have a negative view toward anything. Sometimes it is very hard to not think of a certain situation negatively, but I always try to find something positive about it before I let it become completely negative. Most of my friends are this way too. I feel it is much better to try to surround myself with a bunch of positive, happy go lucky people. This keeps me happier and more care free. Obviously if you surround yourself with negative people who are all emo and not trying to have a good attitude then you too could potentially get sucked into their way of life. Negativity is just a toxic environment that I do not want to be part of. I like to think that I help out my friends and family by keeping up a happy positive out look on life and hopefully inspire them to have my same views. :)
