.......Tolerance: To me, that would be how well a person is able to deal with something. Usually that "something" is something bad, like a person who talks trash to you constantly, or........a videogame that freezes at a certain point. If a person had low tolerance, then he or she wouldn't be able to keep cool for long, and usually gets angry and impatient over simple things. Someone with a high tolerance probably never lets certain things get to them, even through repetition. This can turn out bad, however, because letting something happen to you to much can result in a downfall later. Knowing when to defend yourself and when to keep quiet is the key.
Responsibility: I'd say simply being responsible for your actions. If doing something is wrong, yet you do it anyway to earn respect from certain people it's wrong, since you're not being responsible. Also, if there is something that must be done, making sure it gets done is responsibility.
Valor: Valor can mean alot of things; bravery, strength, fearlessness, herorism....but i'd say how strong someone is against something. Wether its the winter cold, a persistent enemy, or the flu, having great valor can help overcome any obstacle.
Achievement: The accomplishing of something. Achievement usually comes after many hardships and goals, and isn't gained without endless work being put in to something.
Determination: How willing someone is to get a certain job done. You have to have this in order win, because being determined helps you continue on, even if the odds seem against you.
Sincerity: How compassionate people are towards others. Being honest can be a way of sincerity, so as nice acts, such as opening the door, saying thank you, buying gifts, picking up something someone dropped, or even, laying down your coat on puddle on a rainy day.(Even though you might not wear that coat again due to mud...) Sincerity is one of the most favored traits that can quickly earn respect.
All of these can be combined to earn other traits. Having Responsibility can mean great valor, Determination can mean many Achievements, and Tolerance can earn Sincerity. As for me, I usually can tolerate most things, responsibilty may be one of my weaker areas when it comes to work, valor is something that I have alot of, I don't have many achievements, but when I put alot of work into it, that's almost always the result, and actually, I have alot of Sincerity....even though its only earned respect from those who care enough to even notice...Well this is my opinion about these words and somewhat what they have to do with me. Sorry if its too long, I just figured I'd explain with details. :cool:

Tolerance: How long one can tolerate one's stupidity ! as in one who cannot stop teasing or hurting your feelings. it also means being able to tolerate what happens in your life. some would go down right after the first mess up and go dive by the bridge just because of it. this helps you stay alive even after great mess ups !

Responsibility: its the act of not hiding when something bad happens... as in most of the people are afraid and will lie just to not get the blame for doing something. responsibility makes you not be a liar and take it if it was you who did it ! it also is about how you can help others... as in you got the power to save one but you do not do it !

Valor: this one wide word ! it can mean a lot ! valor is part of honor and the honor is something that is a lot missing these days ! its the art of not hurting someone when's he's down or the art of keeping your cool in front of any situation !

Achievement: its the satisfaction you get when you achieve a goal you had in mind, may it be big or small !

Determination: this can truly gets people out of control, its the art of saying htere is always a solution that will benefit everyone ! people will just never stop trying to find that solution when actually there is none. it forces us to continue in life searching for solutions we might never find.

Sincerity: as much as VALOR, this is a wide word. honesty is part of that word. being honest is not deceiving the others not lie about anything either ! telling them what we believe about the subject and giving our true opinion on the matter.

Nope, i have great valor but sometimes you gotta stop to go forward !
example...

if you're fighting a guy, you know your tatctic doesn't work yet you always try them on and on cause you're sure one day it will get through... but this is futile, so you gotta stop and do something else to go forward for your first strategi will njust never work !

other example...
you're repairing your toaster, you know not th eproblem, you go on and on with never finding the problem whatever you do you just don't find it but you must find it for you need it now. will you not stop and ask for help to get it faster or will you just try and try for the next week when you needed it now ?

the answer is no, so sometimes you gotta stop to go forward. i learned that fast cause at a job, there is never any humiliation for having asked help !

Yes and no.

You stop to gather the knowledge of were your misinformed.

After gathering the knowledge you need to achive what your aiming for you try again.


Nothing is futile..unless..you mean becomming superior to everyone.
