Charity- I am currently doing an internship selling cars in Salt Lake City, and I've had a lot situations that I've been thrown into where people are standoffish for no reason other than I'm a car salesman and they don't trust me because of the stereotype that goes with that. It's frustrating that they treat me like I'm trying to take their money from them when in reality I'm trying to make sure they get a car that is going to meet their needs and their family's needs. I sometimes get to the point where I don't want to help them anymore and I kind of give up on them. I can make a living making money doing this but when I have sold a car and gotten someone into a car that fits their needs perfectly and they are happy with the experience that they've had it's a great feeling for you knowing that you've helped someone. Obviously this goes beyond my job and I want to be able to see people as children of God that need help and the gospel. I like to as I walk up to someone to first meet them say "I love you", in my head and when I do that I can't help but smile and as I do this and make conversation they warm up to me and I can become friends of them.
Dependable- I want to be more dependable with what I'm doing and I think that if I set goals in different parts of my life I can become more dependable by following up with myself and just making sure I can get things done.
Industrious- I really feel that I'm a lazy person. Haha, it hurts to say that but I could be more effective in getting things done than I am. I am setting goals and always trying to ask myself what I could be doing that would be a more effective use of my time.
