When meeting a person, the first thing we can describe is his appearance. Do not limit yourself to a standard set of words, as there is a lot of vocabulary that will help you in this difficult task.

For them there is only one word that characterizes male beauty - handsome.

Speaking about human growth, it is worth remembering three words - tall(high), short(short), of medium height(medium height). If you want to talk about age, use young(young), old(elderly), middle-aged(middle-aged).

It's about not only about material things, but even about the spiritual strength and vital energy of a person. This quality allows you to optimize the consumption of any resources, achieve more by saving little.

Unselfishness

This is the lack of desire for profit. Selfish people are motivated only by personal gain. For sincere and selfless people, their own benefit is not important, they will help and will not demand anything in return, so they are trusted much more.

Politeness

Respectful attitude towards others. Always. Even in cases where the situation is not conducive to polite and tactful treatment. By the way, this quality annoys boors. They want to quarrel, but a polite person does not enter into conflict with them. Politeness shuts up a scolder and conquers cities!

Loyalty

This is devotion, but not only in relation to close people, but also to one’s own worldview, ideas and views. This is an important aspect of the relationship between a man and a woman, because it is associated with such negative trait like jealousy. Loyalty speaks of the reliability and constancy of a person possessing this quality.

Good manners

These are good manners and the ability to behave in society. A well-mannered person is polite to others, regardless of their social status. This is knowledge and compliance with the rules of behavior in society, respect for other people's property, nature, and society. There is never any shame in being a well-mannered person.

Discipline

This is the ability to follow rules and routines. A disciplined person not only strictly observes established rules, but also knows how to manage his own time so that it is enough for all important matters.

Kindness

This is an affectionate and caring attitude towards people. Responsiveness and attentiveness towards others, the desire to help and help out of difficult situations without expecting anything in return. This quality does not bring immediate benefits, but others appreciate it, and the kindness shown is often responded to with the same kindness and care.

Friendliness

This is a friendly attitude towards others. This is not only the opportunity to build friendly relationships with any person, but also the ability to behave openly and sympathetically towards people. A friendly person strives for mutual pleasant communication, therefore he has not only true friends, but also a lot of useful acquaintances.

Communication skills

This is the ability to make contacts. A person who has no communication barriers easily joins a team and makes friends. We live in a society, so the ability to communicate with others is useful in any area of life. A person with this quality will never be left alone.

This is a person’s ability to be responsible for what is entrusted to him, the ability to make difficult decisions and evaluate their consequences. Husbands are responsible for their wives, mothers for children, employees for professional tasks. A person who is not afraid to take responsibility for something shows himself as an independent and mature person.

Responsiveness

This is a willingness to help, the ability to unselfishly respond to a request, to help in difficult situation. The advantage of this quality is not only the good attitude of others, but also the self-perception of being a kind person.

Punctuality

This is compliance with rules and regulations. In life, this quality is more associated with the absence of delays, the ability to complete assignments on time, and comply with agreements. Particularly valued in industries where “time is money.” But do not neglect punctuality in other areas of life - its absence can be perceived as disrespect.

Determination

This is the willingness to make decisions, the ability to carry out plans without timidity or giving in to fears. Determination is the absence of so-called paralysis of the will, when doubts interfere with activity. Closely associated with fortitude and courage. They say about decisive people: “He has an inner core.”

Self-criticism

This is a sober self-esteem, an adequate perception of one’s own views and activities. A self-critical person does not consider his own opinion to be the only correct one, and has a healthy attitude towards outside views. But you need to remember the golden mean, because excessive self-criticism indicates low self-esteem.

Modesty

It is the lack of intention to exalt oneself. It's nice to deal with people who have achieved a lot without praising themselves at every turn. Modesty is not only the absence of boasting, but also tactfulness in relation to others. This quality can manifest itself both because of respect for other people and because of shyness.

Courage

This is the ability not to give in to fears. They say that a brave person is not afraid of anything, but a complete absence of fear is not only recklessness, but also a syndrome of certain mental disorders. Courage is the ability to act despite fears. As an example, firefighters may also be afraid of fire, but perform their professional duty without succumbing to fear.

Justice

This is correctness and impartiality. At the core this concept there are ideas about good and evil, the laws of retribution for good and bad deeds. When assessing events, a fair person excludes predispositions and sympathy for anyone. A person is fair when he is objective.

Tolerance

This is tolerance towards people. Tolerance does not allow dividing people into representatives of other nations, ethnic groups and religions. A tolerant person does not reject someone else’s point of view, and is unlikely to allow himself to respond rudely to someone. Tolerance is a necessity in the modern world.

Hard work

This is the ability to have a positive attitude own work. Hard work is not only the willingness to devote one’s strength and personal time to the labor process, but also the ability to do it with pleasure. A person who systematically shirks work and is unable to perceive his work with interest is a burden for the entire team.

This is recognizing the value of other people's views. Treating others with respect shows that you see the individual in every person. In labor processes, this quality is mandatory and manifests itself in distance and subordination.

This is a positive assessment of one's own qualities. Confidence is closely related to a person's ability to manage himself in ambiguous situations. A confident person knows his worth and is not afraid public speaking, in a stressful situation knows how to control himself. Looking at such a person, you might think: “He knows what he’s doing.”

Self-esteem

This is self-respect and a high assessment of one’s qualities, an understanding of value and significance. A person who has this quality is unlikely to decide on a low act, deception, or even ordinary swearing in a public place. This is beneath his dignity. For such a person, it is not even the opinion of others that is important, but his own assessment of his actions.

Sense of humor

This is the ability to perceive a situation from a comic side. It's even better to find that comical side in everything. Life is more fun this way, and people enjoy communicating with such a person. A sense of humor is an indicator of a person’s mental health. It is not known whether laughter increases life expectancy, but it can definitely save you from unnecessary sorrows.
