How is my life rich?

Something to think about
If I keep my good character, I shall be rich. Plantonious

The American Heriate Dictionary defines rich as " possessing great material wealth." It goes on to define rich as "having great worth or value, having an abundant supply, meaningful and significant, very productive."

A person can enjoy a rich life without having much money or many possessions. She / He might be rich in love and respect. She / He might have an abundant supply of good health or good humor. She / He might have great value in the community because of her / his honesty or her / his determination. She / He might possess a wealth of knowledge. A person of good character is always rich because she prospers in the things that count.

Something to write about

Describe the ways in which your life is rich. Which positive chatacter traits do you possess that help make your life rich. Name one character muscle you might need to strengthen so you can enjoy a richer life at school and at home.

  1. My life is rich in away because I am loved by my family and I have three pets that I love very much. I think that I am a giver only if you are close to me but if i don't like I won't give you anything. I think that I need to open up because I am not myself when I am at LFMS because I feel like I can't be me but in away I am me. So you see we can all improve one way or anouther.

  20. My life is rich in may ways other than money. My friends are alot of my wealth because they are always there for me when I need them and support me with my disission. My family is most of my wealth because they support me and love me. My most precious wealth is my sister because I love her and respect her and she does the same with me and I wish to follow in her successful foot steps. I couls use some higher strength in my shyness and self confidence with myself.

  46. alot people say their life isnt rich because they cant afford expensive things. BUt just because you cant afford those those things doesnt mean your life isnt rich. I have many friends that support me along with my family. they follow me and give me support no matter what im doing. one thing i need to work on is my self-confidence.

  61. My life is rich because of all of the people I have around me. These are people who I care about and who care about me and people I would never want to lose. I think I trust people too much. I need to find out who is worhty enough to be trusted. My life is very "rich". But not as in how much money I have but as the people I have around me.

  63. I am rich, but in two different ways. Im rich in love because I have many family members who love me. I also love myself at times. You can also call me rich moneywise because I get most of the stuff I want. I also am able to get other people stuff and still have a little money left over. That is how my life is rich.

  65. My life is rich because I have a family and friends who are always there for me. They help me through everything. Without them I would be incomplete. They are like my backbone. And I couldn't imagine not being without them. One thing I need to do is trust people easier. Since I always keep my emotions bottled up. Other than that my life is very "rich".

  66. Ok, my life is rich in different ways. (I don't mean finacually.) I am knowledgeable in all my subjects, but I really shine in math and science. I am "wealthy" in love and respect. (People are always looking out for me.) I guess you could say that I am rich with imagination and creativity! One thing I am not so rich in is trust. I have a hard time forgiving and forgeting. If I really try I can learn to do this, and then I will have such a rich life. Life is good and enjoyable, but there is always room for improvement. (I should learn to listen to that!!!)

  72. Rich. What the dictionary says is true. There are several different definitions for the word "Rich". I must write about how my life is rich, and how I influence others with my vast amounts of 'Richness'.

    I am not wealthy. Not at all. I wish I could be, but alas, I am not. I do; however, possess a few electronics that help improve my everyday life, but still this isn't what anyone would identify as 'Rich'. So, rich, being described in the dictionary, is the only way I could use, for like I stated, I am not made of money.

    I would believe I am rich in character. I have a decent personality I would guess, for I am a decent person to get along with. I usually speak when spoken too, for I don't want to cause any hesitation in a relationship ( i.e. friends). I have a lot of things to say, so I believe this would bring me as a rich person in character.

    Another attribute I am rich in would be humor. I understand and get both ends of a good joke. Everything seems mentally entertaining, for all jokes have a different angle they are trying to get at. I possess the ability to communicate via joke, as, it isn't that hard for me. I hope others would agree with me that, I am humorous and enjoyable to be around, for that's what I hope to be, a funny guy that is good to get along with. I am rich in humor, that is something that I have valued and accepted, throughout my entire life.

    What skill do I need to strengthen, and would be valuable to me? Well, the ability I may need help in would be a physical ability, such as break dancing. Oh, some people may laugh at this unlogical, unehtical, and maybe completely unacceptable ability from a guy like me, but I ignore them, as this is a thing that helps take the stress off of life. Being able to complete a set, that I completely created and organized, to the beat of a song, and to my physical barriers, is just amazing. I would just enjoy the very thought of being able to know, and succesfully perfect any, and all of the moves that would have been known to everyone. I just wish I had the stamina to do so, to break dance, non-stop, continuously, but this is something I cannot do. I hope to strengthen this important role of my life, for one day, this can be my career, or just a phase in life that I would be able to retain for my entire life.

    This is what I define as rich. I have expressed my thoughts on this as clearly as I could think, and hopefully, the reader of this shall be able to understand this aswell. I am not afraid to share small parts of information of my life. Although, don't take a bigger bite than you can chew. I hope my weaknesses can be improved and molded into a strength. Rich. Not always what you think.

  74. If I had to give you 3 ways on how to get rich i would say, first you got to earn respect. When having respect things seem to be a lot better. second thing is that you want to have a positive attitude, even under pressure. The last thing would be just to be you, because no one likes someone who always acts fake.[[[[[[ Boys and Girls basketball team is gangsta!!!!]]]]]]]]]
