1. Determination - I certainly lack in many areas and thus don't really have that much, but I do have determination. When I find something I see meaning to do, I will naturally find motivation to do it and see it to the end. Nothing can stop me even if I really push myself to my limits or even past that. My determination is really a strong part of me.
2. Perseverance - I guess this comes with my determination as a by product. Self explanatory really, once I find my passion, my meaning, and hope I will persevere through anything to achieve my goal.
3. I'm never how I seem - at times when you think I'm strong and confident, I may be vulnerable and self doubting; at times when I appear introvert and shy, I may be just preserving my power to lash out and shine at my best.
4. Family - I may not need friends, but I need my family. They're an important part of me and my life, and make me who I am. Without them, I wouldn't be lost, but I'd definitely be half empty inside.
5. Art - Whether it is fashion, art, literature, music or dance, I'm a strong believer in creativity and expression. But not just any expression; not the attention seeking that derives from insecurity, but the bold (or even subtle) acts you mean to make through confidence and uniqueness. When you truly believe in what you do because you believe in it and you're confident to show the world regardless of their reaction; a true expression of yourself. Doing something that makes you comfortable, feel like yourself, and make you happy is much more important than doing something to gain recognition or acceptance. Of course, it's a bonus if you achieve recognition and acceptance... only if you are being yourself. No? Art is an unique but universal language of the soul and mind.
6. Lack of Jealousy - I don't get jealous. I feel admiration and I see room for improvement and what I see in other's that I feel I don't have I turn into determination and motivation. But I don't ever feel jealousy. I always think there is a reason for things. People who have high levels of jealousy sometimes irritate me... why can't they be grateful for what they have rather than constantly be jealous? Use it and turn it into something positive... Jealousy is such a negative thing.
7. Karma - People say all silly things to question this, like: what about natural disasters? Well, idiot, you just explained it, it's a natural disaster rather than human fault or human caused. Actually a lot of natural disasters could possibly be human doing, what with the greenhouse effects causing the Earth to change rapidly. People like that are just closed minded and pedantic, needlessly. Or perhaps they feel uncomfortable knowing they do lots of horrible things and one day they'll get it back. It's logical though, if you treat someone badly, it's highly unlikely they'll be your best friend. And if you treat someone well, they'll eventually love you for it. It's true.
8. Open mindedness - I open to all new things and enthusiastic to learn, improve and explore. More importantly I'm able to be comfortable with questioning myself and doubting myself. You can only learn by being open minded. What I can't stand are closed minded people who are stubborn, arrogant and selfish.
9. Boyish & EQ? I guess I'm quite boyish, having inherited traits from my father. Although that's not to say I'm not a girl. I guess I'd say I'm very boyish because I'm very direct and able to handle tough times fairly well. Perhaps EQ comes in to it. My IQ is around 124 (probably got worse since haha) but I'm definitely not an all round person - I'm not very quick with maths, I can do it, just not quick. I'm definitely an EQ person.
10. Happy-go-lucky and Spontaneity - Although I like having plans and being prepared, I'm not one to be boring and stubborn about it. I like spontaneity a lot and also just going with the flow and see how it turns out. Sometimes things cannot be planned and people generally worry themselves too much. Why not mentally prepare yourself and then sit back and enjoy it?
