Everyone admires himself and sometimes we expect people to love us the way we are, because compromising looks like giving up on our original person. But then, can we say the same if we have to deal with a replicate of ourselves?. "We are only humans", a statement that portrays us as imperfect beings with strength and weaknesses and these we see in the children we birth. Personally, I'll be glad if I give birth to children like myself, especially if the trait is exactly like mine with no extremity to any. It was my childhood programming and background that led to this conformity in traits, I probably may have had worse traits to deal with.
I have my bad, but I've been able to work them out until I saw little or no signs of them. There are two traits I considered negative about me, the first was anger and the second the fact that I never gave up on whatever I wanted. The second may look like strength until I had to chase negative things that only destroyed me. But then I didn't relent, I knew I needed to work on them and I did and there is significant progress.
One trait I admire about myself is the habit of constant evaluation. I sincerely judge every of my actions and words and find ways to amend. I made it a habit of analysing my day, the wrong and good, ask myself where I had gone off the hook and try to fix it and things I should adjust. This had made me grow and avoid making the same mistake twice. So imagine my children analysing every of their daily activities and making adjustments, I'd be at peace that their wrongs are being dealt with in secret and there's room for them to grow faster.
Another of my traits are flexibility, forbearance, intelligence, calmness, and patience. I'm flexible in adapting to change and demand. So it's easy for me to switch between whatever I want and what people want. Just tell me and I'd be what makes you happy as long as it's safe for us both. Forbearance is another trait I developed while growing up, as a long boy who grew up in a certain background, I learned to understand people by their situation and forbear offenses. Intelligence runs in the brain, the only time you beat me is when I care less about it, and you see calmness and patience, they'll also help the children survive in this world better.
