Here are a few negative elements that you would not want to get in your life. Poor health,lack of intelligence, fear, lack of enthusiasm, poor personality, lack of self confidence. But we do get them whether we like them or not. These negative elements would certainly affect our lives adversely.
Which of these negative elements do you think would affect your life most?
Suppose poor health is what you dread most that will be the first in your list and similarly place the other elements in the list as per your order of preference.
Here is my list in order of preference.
Poor health- This is the base , I would never like to get poor health-this tops my list
Fear- is the cause for all failures- so this comes 2nd in my list
Lack of intelligence- Intelligence means a lot to me
Poor personality
Lack of self confidence
lack of enthusiasm
What will be your list?

Hi vijayanths, when you know what is right and which brings peace to your home, but are unable to do so because your loved one would not hear of it, what do you do? What would this inability be termed, fear, lack of intelligence, poor health, poor personality, lack of self confidence? The negatives of my entire life is emanate from that one sentence.

Hi, Vandana, I think it is managing people. Getting things done from people. If you want to get your loved one do what you like you have to get it done by going in his route. It takes a lot of patience and sacrifice though. Again it is easy to preach(I do that thought follow only some times, hehehe)
Or you should learn to ignore whatever he does with out hurting him. You should not take his actions to your heart. You can take them to your brains instead.
Why do you include love in that list, wondering?

Lack of finances and associated discomforts have always been my problems which have helped creating negative outlook towards things and events.As for one need to be comfortably settled in life if at all negative thoughts are to be effaced.

I don't to have a poor health and poor intelligence too, I don't want to suffer from health problems. I am very fortunate of having a healthy mind and body. About poor intelligence, I am sure I am not intelligent kind of person but I can use my brain and I can decide. I admit I have lack of confidence sometimes, but that is not a problem to me, I will gain it when I badly needed it. That two negatives, are what I don't want to have. And hopefully some people will not have too.

First in ranking - poor health (no doubt)
second - Lack of self confidence (I feel when this is missing then everything is missing)
third - Fear (When we overcome this we can find many ways to come up in life)
fourth - Lack of intelligence (I have put this in the fourth place because when we have confidence and we overcome fear it's for sure that we have got intelligence.
There is no man without intelligence.It is only us who have to bring it to existence)
fifth - Poor personality
sixth - Lack of enthusiasm

For me there are many things that can Scar me, but thru the yrs I have learned that in a lot of ways, it is really up to me what I do with the things I have been given that help to determine who I am and will become as well. Here is my list:
A) Lack of Self Confidence - Because it can Stop me from being able to achieve
B) Fear - One of my Big ones that can Stop me from wanting to reach out and go higher... Career wise, etc.
C) Poor Health - This used to be number one, but since I have a lot of Health issues I have since learned to work around them and as long as I keep in control they cannot deter me too bad.
D) Lack of Intellegence - This is what helps keep me motivated and pursue something when dealing with my Health issues ... When I ever loose this I am in trouble.

My list will be as follows/
Poor health--Without health nothing can be achieved.[Recently my sisinlaw's daughter passed away[she suffered from ill health for almost 32 years since she was born]
Lack of intelligence-Without inteeligence nothing can be achieved.THis is God given .
Fear-we can overcome this with proper prayers and faith-it is self made.
Lack of confidence-can overcome this if we have the others and are given the right encouragement.
Poor personality-if many other qualities are there the personality shines irrespective of outward beauty [people respect skills in this world--however , this does not mean wanting to be ugly.
Lack of enthusiasm--can be overcome with proper attitude .
So, essentially what I mean is that natural gifts are health and intelligence.Of course if by personality you mean this refers to physical attributes then this is also important and it would come up to 3rd in the list.

Health is the most important requirement for anyone. In Tamil language we say, without wall no picture. First your body should be healthy, they only you can achieve anything well. So my list is
1. Health 2. intelligence 3. wealth 4. enthusiasm 5. fear
