I don’t think personality traits can be inherited. I think that it can be taught. As in I learned to be polite from my parents, when I saw them being kind to others I also learned to be kind. Moreover, ask questions to learn and listen, they taught me to be considerate of consequences, must work hard and play hard, save same than wasting, to have a good sense of humour, be helpful for others, one thing I can’t control is my temper I learned how to express less anger. To be honest I never saw my mother lose her temper. Well, everything that I have mentioned none of these were inherited I had to learn everything from my parents. I actually do not think that personality traits are inherited.
But now that I have become self aware and began to look at myself. I found that I have a terrible temper issue. Which might be something of my father’s that I inherited. I actually don’t want to be like anyone I just want to be myself only. Anyways, my dad knew how to draw and make beautiful designs he was not taught by someone he learned by his own and same goes for me I am really good at drawing. However, one good quality that I have learned from my parents is not wasting money, and taking responsibility for the things that I have committed. I also don't take things for granted and being grateful for what I have.
If you can teach your kids from the beginning then they will grow with that kind of personality. Like sometimes I see parents do not say to anything to their kids when they are making a scene in the public or bothering someone else. As a kid I have never done such thing no my parents did not hit me they made me learn the good manners and I have never bothered anyone or whenever I went to someone else’s house I would seat quietly with patience. When a aunty tried to offer me food at first I would say no no then I would agree when my mom gives consent to eat.
Even when I used to go outside with my parents when I would see someone eating in-front of me and if I liked the food I would never cry for it I would just whisper it into my mom or dads ear. Actually I would feel embarrassed if someone else can hear me talking about it. Even if it’s about toys I would never ask more than once to my parents. Because I never liked being stubborn. I never liked nagging about toys or foods because I knew if my parents can afford it they would give their best to provide me. I didn’t know how I became this mature to understand the situations and play by it.
I was always very obedient to my parents and also my teacher because my parents grew me like that even I became the favourite student of my teachers even though I was not a topper. Every teacher praised me because of my good and respectful behaviour. My parents told me to respect my teachers as I respect my parents and obey them. I felt really good being a favourite student also students from the lower class like I was kinda famous because of my politeness and calmness. But no one knew about my anger issue only my parents knew how much angry can I get.
Actually, for being the person that I am currently, I would thank my parents for making grow up like this. Today whatever I am is because of them. Everyone has bad and good qualities and I won’t say that I am 100% good and there is nothing to be proud of it. Actually, I am always trying to grow as a good person with a good personality. I try to make sure I am not hurting anyone.
