JE18 Your Attributes

           The person who has always influenced me for a long time is my mom. Since I was a child, I spent a lot of time with her and therefore she taught me a lot of rules about life. When I was younger, she always told me to be honest about myself and do my best to achieve everything. Sometimes it is okay to fail as long as I learn why I made the mistakes. I think this helped me a lot because I think I always had this perfectionism quality stuck in my head. Sometimes I feel upset about the results. But my mom always tells me that it is fine if I tried my best already. Talking to her always made me feel better. Now I am only a perfectionist on my process, not the result.

A lot of things that my mom told me shaped for who I am today. She is a very ethical person who always follows the discipline and asks me to be punctual for every appointment. She is also very considerate and always thinks about what other feels. Moreover, she always try to make me feel happy and to have a positive attitude on everything. She said life is too short to be upset. Though sometimes I am still upset about some things I have done after introspecting myself. But she told me the meaning of introspection is not to make the same mistake again. Now I can be more confident for the works I have done and stay positive for every event that happens to me.
