Common Sense
Ever have one of those moments where you just feel so uneducated and slow because the answer to whatever problem you were facing was so simple? Like forgetting where you put down your cell phone, calling it and being like "AH! of course, why didn't i check the fridge!?". Well maybe that's just me , but we all know the feeling. That's the common sense feeling. But how does one classify "Common Sense"? Well most everyone would agree common sense is something that everyone should know, hence "common" as in its knowledge that's common among everyone. But we as people, for being so highly evolved among the other species of this planet, sometimes forget to use our common sense. There are times in our life where we all have that deep knowledge of something screaming at us from within not to do something, but somehow we do it anyway. But that's part of being human. Maybe that's what truly separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom; not being exceptionally smart, but being too smart to where we sometimes ignore our basic instincts, or our "Common Sense". Way to go freedom of choice! :D

Humility
Lets see, what to say about humility. Well generally we view humility as being modest, not boasting or showing off. Humility is actually derived from he word humble. When someone shows humility it is a very mature and modest gesture. Similar to being humiliated, which has a different effect, for being humiliated is someone showing your weakness, where as being humble or showing humility, you're choosing not to show your strength, which should not be viewed as showing weakness. Humility is something we all should show more often, for way to many people get too full of them selves, and lets be honest, no one likes someone who's overly cocky. Confidence is great, cockiness is annoying, something to remember haha. So when it comes down to it humility is a rare characteristic, but one to be admired all the same. I think it's far better to be modest in your accomplishments and failures then to go around putting them on blast for anyone who does or doesn't want to know about it.

Attitude
When people think of attitude, it's usually something that stands out, something that's notable about a person. When someone has attitude, it could be good or bad, but one characteristic they both share is that they stand out and are made noticeable. Some people are known strictly for there attitude. Attitude can also be descriptive as to say it can change. When someone says you have a good attitude toward a situation it generally means you're looking on the bright side and thinking positively and constructively. People who show bad attitude typically arent driven, are thinking negatively, and frankly no one likes someone with a bad attitude. When someone is showing attitude, they are expressing extreme characteristics of emotion. I'm sure we've all been told one time or another when we were showing strong negative emotions someone has mad a comment "Hey, watch your attitude!" But be it good or bad we all have and show attitude as it is part of us, but we should all lean on the side of good attitude, so we can stand to be around each other more in society haha

Dependability
Well lets see now...dependability. Well dependability is something we all look for in people. Through any case people want dependable people in there lives. Its part of the human nature to want to feel secure, so we try and surround ourselves with people we think we can rely on. But what makes someone dependable? When we think dependable we think of people who are typically honest, and do what they say. we also look for people who can stick to the plan and rely on them to do whatever it is they need to. I like to think of myself as a dependable person because i never make a promise i cant keep, and if i happened to make a promise,i do whatever i possibly can to keep it. I like to know my friends depend on me and if anything ever goes down they know they can call me and depend on me to be there to help. So are you the kind of person people rely on? well that depends...

Honesty
ok lets see....honesty. Well unfortunately Ive found in today's society honesty and trust are very hard to find. its a harsh reality but the truth of the matter is it just seems when it comes down to it everyone has there price with honesty. it could be your best friend or your girlfriend or boyfriend but we've all probably had the harsh reality of learning that we trusted the wrong person. There are people out there though who are genuinely honest, and worth trusting, but there's just know way for you to know for sure. honesty is an important thing when it comes to most matters in life. With a best friend, you need to know you can trust them to have your back and be there for you. With a job, your employer needs to know you'll be honest in order to trust you to get the job done. Same goes with a lot of other matters in life. So when it boils down to it honesty is an important quality to have but one most people lack.

I Be A Plannin' Man
Lets see....plans. Well i think its safe to say that most of us plan ahead. it's in our human nature to have some sort of plan in life and what we want to accomplish. there are people however that have a plan but don't really have anything leading up to fulfilling it. I have many friends who are like that and almost have the imitation of a dog and only think for the moment. in the long run that stops them from accomplishing anything. i however use those as examples of what not to do. im very good at planning out my own destiny and what i want in life. I always try and make sure my bank account if growing. i make sure myself as a person is getting what i need to grow and be successful. i also make sure to stay on my path ive set in front of me to reach my ultimate goal, and not stray off the path. So when you look at it, planning is the stepping stones to what you need to do or the skeleton of the structured life you want when you're older. So when it comes down to it, to get where you want in life, you gotta start off with that 1st main plan, it may change or alter but its better then no plan at all.

Goals
Lets see now....when it comes to goals its safe to say everyone has them, whether they're big or small. It could be anything from getting your ultimate dream job, to something as simple as asking someone out...by the end of the semester haha. We all make goals constantly as something to work towards. Its a way we keep ourselves constantly trying to move forward and have something to always look forward to. I have many personal goals but I'll share a couple for the sake of taking up 200 words haha. When it comes to my Career, a popular goal among everyone, id have to say my goal is to become a Veterinarian. However as many people do i also have side goals or secondary goals in case i cant reach this particular one. If for some reason my life leads me away from that goal id like to stay in the animal field and possibly become a Zookeeper. Or i could possibly go into a musical profession or something in the art industry. But goals don't always have to be about your profession. Other goals i personally have is to get to a certain strength, weight, and size at the gym by the end of the year. i like to see myself grow as a person and like to see improvement in my physical health as well. As Ive learned over the years there's nothing better then setting a gal and accomplishing it or even over taking it and going beyond...we as people have the capacity to accomplish anything we truly believe in.
