Have you successfully avoided being that type of person?

My family and relatives ... and yes I have avoided portraying the same negative attributes toward others.
-I reject abuse of any sort
-I encourge and are not judgmental
-I treat others with respect and dignity
-I ensure my family are taken care of
-I 'attempt' to ensure the environment for my children is free from anything detrimental to their wellbeing
-I've studied psychology and other subjects in order to understand why people are the way they are and as a result am employed and wanted by other organizations for the skills i've learned.
I hold no malice toward these people but instead I owe them a debt of gratitude because without these lessons I would be ignorant to these things, would not be the person I am today, would not have the life i do today and would not have the oppotunities afforded to me today

me! I can not say that any one person has taught me that, except for me. Always trying to improve and aspire to my ideals. Will I feel the same way about things upon reaching my goals as I do now? probably not, and I'm certain that by then, I will have learned a great deal more about the kind of person I dont want to be.

Everyone around me. You learn a little bit from every person you meet and know. When you learn something from someone, you are taking a part of them with you always. Passing it on is like saying a book is good. You let them in a something that is good, and enjoyable. Then they in turn do the same. I have learned many things over the years from people. I guess you could say that I am many different kinds of people inside. I'm the good, bad, hopeful.....To me you are everyone who has made you a someone.

My dad - Who, in my opinion is an irresponsible jerk. I never met him.
Most of my uncles/aunties - They're selfish. If they can't climb up the ladder to success; they don't want anyone else to be up there either.
My family, was never one that was filled with love & warmth. Instead, it was one that was filled with jealousy, greed & hatred. I learnt afew lessons though these people though. I learnt from their mistakes; I made sure I'd never follow in their footsteps. So far... I'm doing well!
- put others before yourself (It's not always easy)
- love everyone, but don't trust everyone. Not everyone has good intentions.
- treat others the way you want to be treated.
- help thoes who're willing to help themselves.
I believe, you tend to treasure people more when you never had them in the past. If u never had a dad, when u become one, you tend to be the best. Cause you know exactly what it's like to be without one :)

Muiery parents
My Dad had a bad temper yelled and belittled my Mom and my Brothers, And my Mom wan an adulterer and was always passive never stood up for her self.
For the longest time I was afraid to let my self get mad and took any thing and every thing people had to throw at me.
Then I finally realized I was being like my Mom, And it would be OK for me to speak my mind with out having to loose my temper first. it took me a wile but I am here.

Myself. When I was younger I acted like a spoiled brat. Now, I look back at how I acted and just want to put my head in the ground like an ostrich. Being aware of how I acted, I just hope that when I come across the situation again, I will act differently.

A girl I went to school with. She was so fake. She said she had done everything and been everywhere. She could change her personality according to the group of people she was with. But everyone knew that she was lying. Maybe she had low self esteem, but I knew that I never wanted to be that kind of person, and I haven't ever been. I don't try to change who I am just to please someone else.

My Dad. He left when I was 6.
He made me the best Dad I can be. No day goes by that I don't tell my family how lucky I feel to have them as a part of my family.
Love and blessings Don

My mother was very cold and uncaring I made it a point to say the buck stops here I let my son know he is loved by telling him, hugging him and show him how to care by example. I love it when there is a family gathering, the first thing I do is hug my mother cause I know she hates it.
