A wonderful question everyone of us should ask ourselves each and every day.
I try to listen more than talk.
I try to be more compassionate for others.
I try to be humorous but not comical.
I try to be understanding.
I try to be helpful.
I try to identify my enemies and distance myself from them.
I try to think and speak of positive things in positive ways.
I try not to comment on conversations that are confrontive or conflicting.
I can go on and on but you get the idea.
List out what you think will work for you,
Good Luck

Well 17. It's very simple. For a start U've got 2 spend some time everyday 2 evaluate urself. U've got 2 think what u did or said had hurt any1 or come up with other alternatives which would b better. U've alwiz got 2 ask "what if I had done this or said this".
Beware of the tongue, coz it's in a slippery place!!!
Do not do unto others which U don't like others 2 do onto thee.
What goes around, Shall comes around!!!
IT is better 2 give than 2 receive!!!
Alwiz put urself in other peoples shoes.

Becoming a better person is a challenge for everyone of us. I might say that I am happy that you took the time to reflect about this. You are on the right track and you are on the first step on becoming a better you. There is no exact formula for personal development but here are my suggestions. 1.Know yourself and acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses. 2. Develop alternatives to battle with your weaknesses. 3. Appreciate others, life and yourself

You already took the first step, you asked for help and you identified the need to become a better person. I would say follow your heart and you will become the best person you could be (I).

Surround yourself with friends and family that are good role models. Become active in a service organization where you will make friends to help others. Watch Oprah. Just go out there and do the right thing. Maybe church will work for you.

be yourself... if your will is to do good then your actions will follow... being good is not a fabricated idea... it's a nature of your being...if your truly a good person, you wont have to try to be. However good people do bad things ... just like bad things happen to good people... it's the nature of life... there is a line between good and bad... depending on where you place that line in your own mind will determine if your a good or bad person... of course the determination being amongst yourself.

Take a look at what you don't like about yourself and what others say about you they don't like and work on those areas. You may have to get counsling or read a book or ask others for input. But keep in mind there will always be something you may not like about your character that is normal for everyone. People may say they 100% love themself, but not like somethings about themselves.

my advice, be true to yourself. always think ahead if your action will create a good or bad impact to your being. respect other, elders especially, be kind to humanity, be honest and always consult your heart. your feeling is your true guidance to do right.
i can tell you about myself, especially what i do when im alone, i do pray to cleanse my thoughts. god is the only one that i know i can talk to in my mind without clogging my brain with wrong idea, solution or whatever needed if im encountering issue. i just close my eyes and only think of him..
also, i check with my conscience all the time, ensuring im not hurting or harming anyone, i always think of other first before i think of myself. meaning, not to be selfish...
i love to please everyone, i feel bad if i can't accommodate people. cause i think, they will not approach me if they don't need me. make sure that im the first one to assist...
im ready all the time to lend a hand, moral support, financial wise, a shoulder to cry on, ear to listen, im that kind..i think people agree that im an angel on earth that look after needy people, by the way, angela is my middle name..
