One Nice Thing About Me LOH contest#64

If somebody asks me what thing makes a person worthwhile. I would say “The more dependable a person is, the more valuable s/he is.”

A person who comes to your mind when you are in a need of help is a valuable person. A person whom you can hand over a responsibility and be assured that it would be done on time is valuable. A person whom you don't need to explain the same duties over and over again is valuable. A person who keeps his/her promises is valuable. A person whom you can trust undoubtedly is valuable. All these valuable qualities makes a person dependable.

To answer the question “what is one nice thing about me” I would say the nicest thing about me is “I am a trustworthy and dependable person.”

You may come across with people whom you need to dictate something over and over again to get it done. This is something I really dislike. I don't want to repeat the same thing more than twice (giving the benefit of doubt for the first time). If my words are neglected, I simply get the message that my words had no meaning or value to that person. Now, keeping someone else in the same situation and assuming the same emotional discomfort, I try my level best to respond positively to what has been said to me. Of course, we cannot respond to everyone's desires all the time. Here, I meant those relations that are my responsibility one way or the other such as spouse, parents and kids. And also other important relationships like friends and siblings.

I don't want anyone to feel embarrassed or ashamed because of me. If I take a responsibility I try my level best to be on time; and if in case it becomes difficult for me to fulfil the responsibility I don't keep the person in dark. Instead, I inform him as soon as possible, so that he may arrange some alternate for the accomplishment of tasks.

Besides, what I say has tremendous importance to me. I don't need to make special promises for working on my words. Instead , I feel me responsible for doing what I have said I would. For instance, if I tell my kids to cook or bring something for them, I do. In case, I couldn't, I explain them the valid reason and fulfil the promise later. Like, I had told my son a couple of days ago I would cook macaroni for him, but I couldn't because I fell ill and didn't have enough strength to cook anything. I let him sit close to me and told him “I had to cook for you but because of the illness I couldn't. Once I regain my strength, I would surely do.”

Moreover, I stay loyal and faithful to all my relationship. I won't go on cheating or conspiring against them at their back.

Further, I know the importance of keeping secrets. If someone has shared his/her personal information, I don't let those things out from my side.

Furthermore, I am someone who can easily be banked on my those people who are close to me whether they are friends or relatives. We may not be in connection for a long time, but whenever they approach me for help, I do provide whatever I can.

This way, I add my part in creating ease in people's life. In return, I expect God to create ease in my life.
