This photo represents my undesirable trait which is ENVY. By looking at it, a

person who has a background knowledge on shoes know that this pair of Nike’s
is fake. The reason behind is that I can’t afford the original ones and I still wanted
to have the new ones. This kind of undesirable trait affects my emotions when I’m
surrounded with people who have the original pair. I gained low self-esteem
which is not good for my mental health. I feel envious of people who has the
means to buy the original ones rather than the fake ones. The other things I
value is not only the brand, but also the quality and comfort it brings to people. I,
myself, someone who wears this fake ones know that these kind of pairs do not
last long and can bring discomfort on walking.
To turn this undesirable trait into something desirable, I would like to change this
part of me being envious to material things and transform it as a motivation to do
better in life. This trait would serve as a driving-force to my undying passion to be
successful in life. The urge to be financially stable and achieve my goals is one
thing I’m looking forward to in life. To gain everything at it’s best would give me
happiness and would also be a good riddance to this undesirable trait I have of
mine.
