LIST 5IMPORTANT QUALITIES THAT YOU MUST ACQUIRE FOR YOU TO MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS

The five qualities that I need to acquire for me to able to meet my expectations are:

1. Be positive and optimistic

- I have always believed that everything starts with a positive mindset. We have to be proactive if we
want to maintain a positive attitude. Avoid people who hold you back and surround yourself with a
positive, optimistic people.
2. Be Persistent
- There’s always people who will laugh at us and will try to make us down. But we have to be
persistent. We can’t let words of criticism and discouragement invade our minds.
3. Be determined
- Determination is a powerful personal character trait where we intent on achieving our goals.
4. Be ready to learn
- I believe that there’s always something new to learn that will help us advance and grow. Being open
will help us to be successful. We should keep our mind open to the possibilities and opportunities
around us.
5. Passion and hardwork
- Achieving important goals in life can truly be difficult yet so rewarding. Enthusiasm, self-discipline,
commitment, and perseverance is what’s needed to get our desired results. Once a goal is realized,
a dream turned into reality, we gain acknowledgement that through hard work and passion nothing
is impossible.
 A.2. DEFENSE MECHANISM AND TYPES

1. Denial

Denial is one of the most common defense mechanisms. It occurs when you refuse
to accept reality or facts. People in denial may block external events or
circumstances from the mind so that they don’t have to deal with the emotional
impact. In other words, they avoid painful feelings or events.

This defense mechanism is one of the most widely known, too. The phrase, “They’re
in denial,” is commonly understood to mean a person is avoiding reality despite what
may be obvious to people around them.

Sublimation

This type of defense mechanism is considered a mature, positive strategy. That’s

because people who rely on it choose to redirect strong emotions or feelings into an
object or activity that is appropriate and safe.

For example, instead of lashing out at your coworkers during a stressful shift, you
choose to channel your frustration into a kickboxing class. You could also funnel or
redirect the feelings into music, art, or sports.
