Attractive qualities?

I admire someone's ability to listen without talking, to just shut up if they don't have anything nice to say, to always be tactful and diplomatic and avoid blurting out whatever it is they are thinking and feeling about the a**hole sitting next to them who is going on and on about all their stupid harebrained useless ideas that are just a waste of good clean air.
How do I exhibit these same qualities?? I don't!! Therein lies the challenge...
I also admire someone that listens to you nonjudgementally...they will paraphrase what you said for clarification rather than jumping to conclusions and immediately thinking the worst ...if they did that we might not be involved in so many wars!
I admire the quality of not feeling sorry for oneself. I have seen some people with some really tough lives but they just shrug it off and keep going like nothing happened, and in fact, seem to try even harder to succeed.
I try to be like that but I'm not very good at it - I do tend to feel sorry for myself and want to give up a lot of the time and just quit even trying to better myself.
I really admire resourcefulness, intelligence, a sense of humor and the ability to laugh at oneself, honesty, integrity, loyalty, stick-to-itiveness, creativity, people who really dive into life no holds barred.
I do see some of those qualities in myself. And like you guys, there are some that I really wish I had more of... like integrity and the ability to dive into life no holds barred. Both of those things come hard to me. And yet they are what I most aspire to be able to do.

I have felt that way very often drowning in my self pity, but then finally waking up and realizing that I can still do something really great in this short life
.."that which doesnt kill me makes me stronger" .. just finally learninng from my mistakes so Im not doomed to keep repeating them.
