Virtues

Virtues are like a code of life. Something you believe in and strive for in your life.  Everyone has some virtues. Me? I believe in hard work, a dedication to education, and independence from emotion.  I believe in hard work.  I work hard at everything I do. I give my best when I carry out tasks, especially homework.  I do well in school, and that is something else I believe in. This is one of my virtues that I think everyone should believe in.  School is the key to success. You don't need to go to an Ivy League college to be successful, but you should try to learn what you are taught in school.  I hate when people don't listen to the teacher because they think that they will never have any use for that knowledge later in life.  I dislike this so much that I often consider becoming a mass murderer who will kill anyone who can't answer basic trivia.  I hate when people don't try to understand what they are taught.    That said, one of my virtues that I hold, I sometimes have trouble sticking to. That virtue is to be emotionless.  I allow myself to be happy and laugh, and to be angry or frustrated.  However, I don't like to let myself be sad.  Sad and depressed are the worst, and they never offer anything productive. Being sad and depressed will not let me better myself.  Sadness happens and I cannot let it affect me too much.  Sadness affects my ability to function properly, and I go nuts if I cannot function properly.  Sometimes I am sad, but in the words of Neil Patrick Harris, "Do you know what I do when I get sad? I stop being sad and start being awesome."
