Strangers don't know yourself... what kinds of person you are... you are good or bad...what are the things you do to fell some one that you are really a nice person..how can you make some one to believe in you...what things you would do in front or you will convince somebody about your goodness. Is that your politeness, your behavior,.... what is that in you so that some one think you as good? How can someone know you? what qualities should one have to be a good person?

I do not believe that anyone can make the other believe about their goodness. It shows in your behaviour. My hubby usually makes out the other person in one chat or talk but I can never as I am every sentimental anyone gives me a sob story and I melt. My hubby always says that I think with my heart and not with the brain.

Hmm, so you show or make some one to know about yourself while talking...you mean by your feelings they can know about you. Is that right?

Well the question really: How do you feel about your self? The discussion topic is fine and welcome, but I don't have other choice then to believe you are interested on replies which my help you first? The difference between good and bad is simple and boils down to values, personal, family and social values. Where do your values and priorities rest?

Well I understand you face a language barrier, when it comes to English. How do you feel about your self? Where do your values and priorities rest? I recommend you take the challenge and read it over, make the effort to understand the message. But is okay, this is why we do discussions so I am happy to break it down for you and help you.

Somebody can know that I'm a good person by my way to act. If I show no education, if I do wrong things, the people will know that I'm a good person or not. Of course that the opposite of this can be prooved. I think that it require time, at least one hour, can help to know and do not have so wrong opinions. For a people be a good person he/she have to know to respect the other people and be kind and educated. Not acting like a jerk s o b.

Actions speak louder then words. Even on the internet as you 'chat' your politeness and behavior show through. As you read post from the same person you will get to know them. What qualities should one have to be a good person? I think if they are a good person with good qualities then the politness shows through what they have written. There will be no 'cussing' or negativeness in their responses.

You just have to get people to trust you. You have to be nice, you have to be caring, you have to be the person that people want you to be in order to truly be a good person.

with strangers i think its by how you talk to them or by holding the door open for them. but its the things you will do for people. like helping out whenever you can. do that little something nice for someone. you give up something for people. weve been talking about this of late. how you should do nice things for people and not just family but everyone

Hi vine, This is out and out impossible to assess a person and know about him/her. That I am a good person or the opposite does not need a certificate from my end. This is personality and integrity that would work as a sign board. Though we might not take it seriously people do observe us. And our demeanor and character that gets flashed outside the four walls of the house is what counts most. I might be a different person in my personal life and you are not supposed to peep through the key whole and assess my being what I am.

By your manners, your choice of words, your body language, and your eyes-for example:do you look them in the eye. I look for those qualities in a person. Sometimes the way they dress can fool you.

ya, that true... we know know what kinds of person he/she is , what kinds of dress he is wearing, dress up also reflects the persons,interest and so on. A sexy lady wear sexy clothes, and hiphop person wears like that...they wear according to their interest...it's also one plus point to know people. The dress. Thank you for your post.

Two things make other person think that you are good. One is that either you are pretending to be good; another is that you are good. In both cases, the other would not know whether you are good or not. You can never know immediately whether the person is good or not. You cannot judge a book by the cover. You will have to spend some time with him. Watch him how he behaves with the animals. You may find, either he dislikes animals or love them. If you find that he dislikes animals, then see if he is cruel to them then think he is not a good person. Another test of goodness is see how he behaves with his inferiors. Take him to a restaurant and watch him how he orders around waiter. If he is not polite with them think that he is not a good person. There is yet another final test. You would surely know if he is a good person or not. Pinch his behind and watch how he behaves. He is bound to show his true colors. If the person were good, he would not react and retaliate. You already know what a bad person would do. The last and final test I mentioned is optional. Proceed cautiously if you ever want to administer it. It is the decisive test. At times, you might even lose friendship of a good person. Therefore, try this test only if the person fails in other tests, and not otherwise.

they say you get coffee from a coffee-pot or tea from a tea-pot. our body, our words and actions are a good mirror of what is inside. if what is inside is good what comes out in words and deeds are equally good and otherwise bad if what is inside is likewise. we sometimes try hard to convince people who we are or what we are not because of the motives/objectives we have. we may succeed in cheating others but i'm sure it's not for long because the truth will ultimately reveals. the only person we succeeded in cheating is actually ourselves. the best thing to assume is therefore is to be ourselves.

hi vine now I am a woman just so you know.. I have been told I am a sweet,kind person, but how can I tell you how good I am as this is sort of boasting or bragging, thats not really good. I hope I am not a bad person. I try to help others here at Gold Crest and I think a good person is one who does not go around saying he is a good person as his actions will show whether he or she is a good person.but as much as we most all of us try to be good people we also are human and we get angry, we get tired, we get short tempered. a good person is always one who thinks first of the other person, who cares about people and animals, who does not abuse or hurt anyone,is kind and considerate at all times, and last and best is absolutely not stuck on himself or herself. this good person is not going to go around loudly proclaiming I am a good person. wow you do make some really interesting thought provoking discussions.

Thank you Hatley, for your answers, your thoughts are really great...as you have experience life many years...a good person never get angry, right? a good person should have no ego. I i don't see ego in him/her then i think he/she a good person. If they are as simple. I like simple person.. who do equal behaviours to any body he meet.. and some thing like that...you have also give greats points to know people...

Some strangers are going to believe bad things no matter what you do. One major example is President Obama. There might be some bad things about the insurance bill, but the President is looking out for the people. But no matter how he tries, many don't believe him anyway and call him a liar. So for those folks, there's nothing you can do but "keep on pushing". I feel that if you are a good person, then keep doing the good things. As a Christian, I believe that Satan keeps trying to make you do bad things. So in my mind, I help people. If they don't want my help, I don't help. But I still help people who want it. And sometimes when I am rebuffed by somebody on one day, and they come back on a different day and need my help, then I help them. I refuse to let anyone change me. I've always been known to be a stubborn person.

RobtheRock, hmmm what does that say about a person? Tell me why would anyone want to rob a rock? I'm joking of course but one must look at what a person has done when they knew no one was listening or watching to implant goodness in all their deeds. Most folks will be on their best behavior when they are wanting something but how they act at other times is how one must be deemed good or bad.

I think you cannot do this because anyone ca act like they are sweet and generous at any time in front of people. I mean, look at pedophiles that do things to gain the trust of children, he or she may appear as a trustworthy person to gain access to your children. Or even the movie "the hand that rocks the cradle" another example, even though it is fictional, it does happen. Only time will tell and you may have to invest it to learn a person true colors. I am a suspicious one by nature of people, lol. As far as qualities go , be honest, be yourself. You cannot change for the situation because then you are not you , you are an actor playing a part or role and not yourself.

first of all, only you and God knows who really you are! He can read what's on your heart and in your mind. but for us we are human, we distinguish the person if he is bad or good towards their actions. but for me, i believe in self instinct. if i like this person, it doesn't matter for me if he is bad or good, anyway, we can determined this for a period of time if you were being together..

Its through talking that a person can understand whether one is a good person or not. Reaction to specific situations, attitude towards somebody or something is an indicator of a person's nature. If he is polite and straight-forward and has no complexity in his talks then you can bet that he is a good person. Otherwise they are not.

for me, strangers will not gonna know you if you are not going to be with one another in a given time, for example newly hired employees don't know what kind of person are you since they are new to the company, you will gonna know each other if you will gonna spend time with each other. and being a good person is not just having 1 week, it takes time for one to realize how good the other person is. you'll never know that one person is good if she one time snob you or be blunt on things on your work. not being snob nor blunt means one is really bad :)
