Common Sense

Common sense is something everyone should possess , unfortunately a lot of people lack it. We think this is a normal characteristic for most, but some people find it challenging to have common knowledge. When I think of common sense there is a few people that instantly pop into my head lol!! I know some people that are extremely smart, but when it comes to simple things they suddenly become brain dead. I guess we all have our moments. Everyone has certain areas they excel in more then others, were for the most part all different. So what my idea of common sense is, another my perceive it in a completely different way. Some of us are just born with it or develop it has we grow. Common sense to me is about knowing the obvious, right from wrong, black from white, up and down, type of knowledge. You don't have to be a genius in order to acquire common sense it just comes easy. Common sense is usually the easy answer and not a difficult challenge, no struggles.If a stove is hot are you going to touch it? I hope the answer is no for most. When your mom says "why don't you go play on the freeway"? Hopefully you won't take her serious lol, but hey I guess those that lack it are screwed.

Humility

Humility is about being humble, and respectful of others. Not thinking that your better then everyone else judging others, and solely putting yourself first. It's about taking the time to do things for others as well. A simple respect or appreciation goes along way. I mean I know some people that all they do is talk about me this me that. Even well having a conversation with them and they ask me something  like how have you been?, well responding somehow it goes right back to them. At the end of the day no one likes that. Especially now days it's so sad to see how some young kids act with no respect for anyone, and how they can treat people so wrong. The way I look at it is why not do nice things, try to live a honest life to the best we can. You can see someone needs help and either step up to the plate and help or turn the other cheek. For me I do simple acts as letting someone know their money is falling out of their pocket, or let someone have my parking space if I still have money on the meter. Little things count and I figure eventually all my good deeds will help me out whenever I may get stuck and need someone. Humility is a great quality to have it allows us to try and live a non-selfish life. To be courtesy and respectful to others, and keeping us good with ourselves. No one is perfect but at the end of the day I'm happy with the life I live, but I know there is always room for improvement and lessons as I grow. I rather live a honest life with some sense of morals then the wrong life.

Attitude

 

Life is all about attitudes; it can mean different things to everyone. Attitude is all about how we portray ourselves, how others see us. You can just meet someone and see they have a bad attitude, just hating life. Or others who are extremely happy with a positive attitude. I have some friends that no matter what life may throw at them, their attitude never changes they still remain happy and friendly to everyone. Sometimes you go into a store and the cashier has a horrible attitude and very rude, based off of that it makes you angry. For me my attitude changes based on situations I may come across, but in the end I find having a bad attitude really gets you no where. You come off as a jerk, and that's not cool. Apparently since I'm short it's natural for me to have a feisty attitude, I guess it's a short thing ha. Overall having nothing but a negative attitude makes people judge you too quickly even if you are the nicest person in the world. So if I'm having the worse day ever, and may have to work I will still try to put on my best face and continue my day. Your attitude can play a part in other people’s day as well; it can have a ripple effect. I don’t know about others, but I don’t want to be known as the chick with the bad attitude, that reputation can have consequences on other areas of your life. I want to live my life to my best ability and not waste my energy hating it.
