How do you value yourself?

[Lestat]

What do you think are the things that make you most valuable as a person? Killahbee brought up and interesting point. What are the things that you really think make you unique or interesting? I know there is going to be no way to answer this without feeling conceted, or seemingly stuck up, but try, its not bragging, its just stating facts.

I'd say I'm most proud of my body and mind, I wasn't obese, or too short. I'm hung, fairly athletic, was able to compete in sports most my life, etc. Somewhat asthletically pleasing.

Mind wise, I'm intelligent enough to make it through grad school, hold a great job, and basically keep my shit.

I'm proud of my job, its a job I set out to get in high school and made it reality in my early 20s.

Areas where my life could have been improved. Stronger family. It was basically just the 5 of us, I knew my grandmothers, but only when I was a child. Dad was an only child and my mom's sisters only had one other child. So not many cousins. I see friends that have larger and much tighter and close families. That is something I see as a very positive thing and people tend to be stronger and more secure when they come from a large loving and supportive family.

Work ethic. There are times where I slacked, did the minimum to get by. My first Undergraduate years were like that, and I'll probably pay for that slightly the rest of my life.

 

[stilleto]

i think i'm generally cheerful, witty, and sharp minded. as you know, i WAS fat, so i worked on my personality.
now that i'm not fat anymore, i'd like to think i still have that personality.



i also think i look and act way younger than i really am. not in an immature way, but a fun way.

 

[KillahBee]

If it's one thing buddhism taught me, it's that holding your value in anything external or transient is the incorrect path. Because it inevitably means that once that "thing" is gone/lost/taken away, your value is lost. This is essentially materialism. Jobs, family, friends, car, money, house..the list is endless.

I value myself for my soul and my mind. My constant desire to better myself and to seek the truth, no matter how painful, lonely, or difficult that journey may be.





Not sure where a big cock fits in there, though....

 

[heatherrae]

hmmm...

1. I'm an extremely loyal and devoted friend/family member. I'm the one to turn to when you need someone who will take the shirt off their back for you.

2. Almost everyone who gets to know me and doesn't prejudge me, likes me.

3. I overcame extreme poverty and worked my own way through law school.

4. I'm a great dancer.

5. I used to be attractive before I gained weight. I was Ms. South Beach in 1994.

6. I'm a great cook.

7. I'm a great trial attorney.

8. I'm laid back, fun, and accepting of other people.

 

[stilleto]

wait, first and foremost, i value myself as a great mom. nothing can take that away from me.

hahahaha, i get your point, and I agree with the Eastern school of thought when it comes to how they view the mind/body and what they consider the spirit. But that's where I take issue, I feel that my soul, spirit, essence, is simply a manifestation of the brain, a physical piece of flesh and blood. Once that is gone, or damaged even, so is your entire being.

What you say about pinning your hopes on any one thing that can be taken away is bad. I say you should hold a great many things pertaining to yourself in high value, so that yes, if you should lose one, or more of any specific things you'd still have something left to hold onto.

Having a big cock is just something that no matter how your day goes, you can go to bed with a smile knowing you've got that punisher tucked away with you for the night ready to take on another day with you tomorrow.

I am obsessed with going that extra mile or 10. I am tenacious, far beyond driven and want to be retired in 5 years. I make everyone around me better and more successful. I am very giving and want to do well for everyone around me.

Not a cheap shot at all, but your posts on elite say otherwise.

just sayin who are you hiding your *true self* from?

 

[KillahBee]

you into astral projection? meditation?

Meditation, yes. Trying to study it and become better at it.

[calveless wonder]

cool thread.....was thinking about something similar right as you created (my best friend called me out on a bunch of shit in my life the other day)

Eh for me...i'm proud of my unique mix/background. Not too many people can say they're japanese and cuban. I like to think i got the best of both worlds (cuban looks and penis lol, japanese brains). i used to hate it when i was younger, but as i got older i embraced it and it makes me different everywhere i go. The japanese mind gave me great business sense and i guess the cuban side made me a hustler/gave me the gift of gab.

The one thing i can say is that whatever i've given 100% of my attention to, whatever goal, i've always reached, no matter how unlikely. from my pro video game career (lol), to my social life, to my ebay business when i was 18, to my body, to my career (although that needs alot of work right now). I've also overcome alot of adversity and tend to make the best out of bad situations.

was very lucky to grow up with a family that was well off. was able to get a great education, allowed me to travel alot and see all sorts of different culture when i was younger and see most of the world by the time i was a teenager. i'll always have great connections, and opportunities...i just have to make the most of them.

I definetely need to improve myself alot more though...to full my potential.
Everyone that meets me says i have the potential to do anything i want in this world...but there's a few things holding me back.
my work ethic can be pretty weak sometimes, i really have to get in the zone and see results for me to keep going. I got "by" on talent and luck alone for years. My best friend said the other day my biggest flaw is "apathy".
i have terrible habits and organization, and in the past few years i've sat around and contemplated too much instead of just "doing". i haven't been a doer as much as i should. i also tend to neglect my friends/become introverted during down periods of my life (like right now).
probably in the biggest slump of my life because of my failed business venture ,horrible breakup, and just bad location. hopefully that changes soon

haha.

[KillahBee]

BM, I disagree. Show me one post where I showed value in external factors. I never have, so clearly you are mistaken there.

Now, if you want to make a case for how I treat others here, I can't disagree. This is something I have worked on for a long time and have made immense strides with. It ain't over yet, Rome wasn't built in a day, ya know?

But I also don't put any value in how others perceive me. Put 100 people in a room and I will have 100 different reputations. This does not matter to me as I have no control over it.

 

[Smurfy]

I'm pretty laid back. I have a good sense of humor. I'm fair. I'm competent. I'm pretty much always in a good mood.
Oh yeah, I'm open-minded.

Now you sound like BM saying "show me one post where I..."

 

[Bikini Mod]

Not sure really what my value is to be honest.

I have had my children stolen from me. Even though I fight to the death, it may be death before the fight is over so I can't say really.

My family has grown weary of abuse from a man they did NOT marry. Nearly 7 years and they are fleeing the country to avoid prosecution for protecting my girls (amongst other reasons).

My husband, though generous and kind will most likely grow weary of it too....

I used to have the most amazing ability to make everyone around me smile and feel good about themselves. Now I just hover between life and death....

I'd feel like I'm bragging. This is just an awkward question to answer. I know what I'm told is unique and special about me, being a nerd who works out obsessively. I could probably phrase it a more flattering way but you get the idea.

Here on elite we show one face. It may be random or it may be calculated. All the posts of yours that I have seen talking about your sexual conquests of this random slut or that random ho... your hair being *on point*, this work related leg-up or that.... then you laugh as you spew some random hatred on women that point out some e-flaws....

Dude, I am so not your mother nor do I claim to be.

Shit, I fuck up left and right. I should like to think of us as peers of some sort.

I have seen you post up a lot of responsible wisdom to the board, stuff that shows you to be light year ahead of your peers.... then I see male dumbshit that drags you right back down.

Come on my brother, let us get real.

As I said, not trying to call you out or take cheap shots... I am so not casting any stones as my sin-cup runneth over.

Just sayin is all my e-brother.

you can lose your mind just as easily as your material possessions. pretty much any form of acknowledging yourself will lead to anguish or fear of loss one day

It's all about your vagina isnt it? It can't possibly rule the world, it's just not logical given the number of vaginas out there. It's like the fermi paradox. The rare vagina theory just does not stand up to reason.
Enrico Fermi's paradox is that, if there are aliens out there, then, where are they? Your vagina is not an alien!
hmm, or is it?

 

[calveless wonder]

yes, who's alter are you?

 

[nefertiti]

Hmm. I'm proud of the fact that I have more than once, without hesitation, put my life on hold for my family or loved ones. I'm proud of the fact that without any warning or preparation, I was able to provide a loving, stable home for my nephew for over a year while my sister got her life straightened out. I'm proud of the fact that I have generally been able to achieve, learn, or master anything I set my mind to. I value my generosity and my genuine compassion and kindness. I value - as I mentioned a few days ago - that in spite of what life has thrown at me, I never became bitter, hard, or cynical, that I can still be that teacher that starts everyone with an A+ and leaves it up to you to keep it. I value that I can take the lessons I've learned in my own life and turn it into - usually - good advice to my friends.

On the other hand - I wish I was less guarded. I wish I didn't try and deal with everything on my own. I wish I could relax sometimes and not give myself impossible milestones so that I am always destined to disappoint myself. I wish I didn't always feel like I had to be in complete control of myself. I wish I could be more confrontational when times called for it.
