I know that I am a very blunt person, and most of the time people love me for that quality, but at times when someone is sad and they want someone to make them feel better and tell them everything is alright and it’s really not I cant tell them everything is ok. People have told me that I need to work on this and I myself have realized this and am going to work on the virtue Sincerity. Sincerity, to me, is not being so blunt and easing it down to comfort others in their time of need. One way I can and will perfect this is by being blunt about most things but being sincere when it is needed. A way I will work on this is by thinking about what I say before I say it and figuring out how I can tell the person without hurting them. Also maybe by writing things down before I tell the person and getting other’s opinions before showing that person that could be a way I can eventually be more sincere and not so blunt.

  ** Update #1: ** I haven’t had a chance to work on my virtue because I am still trying to think up more strategies to help myself to become more sincere. One thing I have begun to do is what I had written before I write down important things before I talk to that person if I know it is a problem I am facing with them. Also by working on this virtue I have also discovered that I have become more patient with people, which is one aspect I never thought I would own. ** Update #3: ** I feel that the work on my virtue is all going down hill because important others don’t like the fact that I am no longer so blunt and I don’t know who or what to choose. But even thoughfor some reason I am hurting others and just confusing myself to which is right and which is wrong I am still trying to change myself to be a better person who ismore sincere.
 * Update #2: ** My progress on sincerity is now starting to grow and I have thought of new things to try. For example: thinking a lot about a problem I am having before I actually say it, writing things down, saying it aloud, and asking others if they think it is too harsh before I tell the person to whom I am having problems with.
 * Update #4 :** i think that my progress on sincerity has gotten alot better, but there are some kinks that I am still working out. My friends and family have all been helping me and i think that soon i will be able to comprehend all that is sincere and I will be in the end a better person. I think this isa trait that everyone should obtain because not only does it stop arguments but it will help get everyone a fufilling career in the future.
 * Update #5: ** This is my last Entry and I feel that i have made alot of progress. At first I saw no reason for us to have to work on these virtues, but now that i have actually worked on them and I understand that we worked on these virtues to better ourselves as humans.
