Qualities I admire

I read a blog that made me think last week from the Travelettes; a group of female travelers I just recently discovered. The post was titled 8 Qualities I Admire in a Woman and the writer expressed her desire to become a woman who travels, as opposed to the travelling girl she is currently. Her list of qualities of a Woman includes:

1. Reverence
2. Perseverance
3. Ignorance
4. Living
5. Tenderness
6. Self-belief
7. Uniqueness
8. Spunk

This, of course, led me to consider the qualities that I value highly, and would like to expand in my own life.

I immediately turned, of course, to my favorite source of information, the ever-growing internet. And the Google machine gave me lots of things to consider.

Here is the list of qualities that I both admire and would like to demonstrate:

1. Well-spoken: Kind, considerate, tactful, articulate, complimentary, respectful
2. Well-dressed: Modest, occasion-appropriate, body-flattering, well-groomed
3. Well-behaved: Civil, graceful, organized, courteous, generous, polite

And in addition, I value:

• Strength of Character
• Independence
• Integrity

...

The list could really go on, but essentially I want to be the kind of person that makes other people feel better about themselves, while gaining their respect. In any situation.
