what are important qualities of a good human?

Have you ever dreamed about becoming a great person such as Diana Princess, Bill Gates or Barack Obama? Indeed, we hardly deny that they are good humans. They have devoted all their life to society and are admired by many many people around. Besides their intelligence and talent, their qualities are also important factors to make their success. Thus, what is qualities to create a good human? To me, honesty, kindness, forgiveness are three important qualities of a good human.

The more complicated our life is, the more appreciated honesty is; because it helps people trust in each other. A honest person is a person who always tells truth, do not cheat or steal everything. In my hometown, a small countryside in Me Kong Delta, people live together in harmony; some houses do not have doors, because they are not afraid of stealing. The reason is that my local resident always respect honesty. They believe that honesty is a motivation for their to trust each other and overcome the poverty. In contract, in developing society like Ho Chi Minh city, stealing, cheating, bribery and corruption still happen day by day. One of the reasons for these problems is lack of honesty. For example, one of your friends often cheat everyone whether you want to prolong friendship with him or not. A politician who is corrupt and deceive people whether he can make his society develop or not. In fact, we look down upon such people and hardly put our trust in them. Thus, honesty must be a priority quality of a good human.

Besides, a good human often shows his kindness to people around; it is beneficial not only for everyone but also for himself. Kindness is quality of being thoughtful and friendly towards others. A good human hardly neglects someone who is in the hot water. For example, he can give a hand to somebody needing help, give an advice when they are in difficult situations, and give a shoulder for someone who is sad and want to cry. If there are such good humans , life will be better. In addition, it is great for him to become kind people. He will be admired because of his kindness; and he can enhance the relationships with others. Surely, he will feel happy and proud when doing good things. Therefore, kindness is a quality that helps to become a good human.

Moreover, forgiveness is also an important factor to decide a good person. A forgiving person can release negative thoughts of bitterness and stop feeling angry with someone. There is a saying: "learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in stone." ( the story sand and sun). It means when someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it. When we accept someone's error, we will have a friend. Our mind will peaceful, if we know how to tolerant.

In conclusion, to become a good human, we need to be kind, honest, and forgiving. Although it is hard for us to achieve them, nothing is impossible. Being a sophomore, I will try my best to study well and become a good citizen in the future
