I am a person who believes in the good of people and who may have had things influence them to a certain degree, but deep down I think most people are good and would like to be good.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I consider myself a good person. And I think people perceive me to be, 'Oh, she's nice,' but being a good person, knowing your strengths and working towards those strengths, and encouraging those around you to do the same, that's a good person.
I define a 'good person' as somebody who is fully conscious of their own limitations. They know their strengths, but they also know their 'shadow' - they know their weaknesses. In other words, they understand that there is no good without bad. Good and evil are really one, but we have broken them up in our consciousness. We polarize them.
A good person can make another person good; it means that goodness will elicit goodness in the society; other persons will also be good.
To be good, you need to believe in what you're doing.
It's important to think good, speak good, and do good. If we want to see positive change in the world, then we need to connect to goodness. I try in everything I do, both in business and philanthropy, to make a positive change and do that by doing good.
I look for good people and people that will be like-minded and help me try to do good for other human beings.
Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
I think most folks are good folks.
I've always believed in people's capacity for goodness. I still believe that people are good. What I'm not so trusting about anymore is their relationship to their own goodness.
Being a good person begins with being a wise person. Then, when you follow your conscience, will you be headed in the right direction.
