What pleases you about...you?

[Izzy]

As an antidote to @ozleicesters thread about what annoys you about you, what pleases you about you?

 

What are your strengths? What are you brilliant at? What traits/preferences are you proud of? What makes you unique?

 

This isn't a thread to boast (and in typical British fashion we don't like to shout about what we're good at) but genuinely interested in what things folk are pleased about in themselves.

[MPH]

My kids are definitely my greatest accomplishment.

 

 

 

bit of a clichè I’m sure.

[leicsmac]

Wanting to know more about science, but more importantly wanting other people to know more about science through narrative, and valuing the future enough that I believe it worth the communication.

[Nalis]

Being baller

[urban.spaceman]

My beard. 

[brucey]

Honesty. 

[bovril]

I am a voice for the voiceless

think you need to share yours  

[Jon the Hat]

I support a great football team.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

I can usually turn my hand to most stuff and be at least half decent at it.

Probably the way I've bounced back from major surgery and various operations/procedures since '04 

 

The whole experience has changed my outlook and perspective on life and I'd like to think I'm more empathetic, patient, and understanding as a result. I definitely count my blessings more and try to live for the moment now.

 

I still suffer from Cronhs disease and various related ailments, but I try not to let it affect my life and I always remind myself that there's many, many people worse off than me.

 

And I'm bloody good at my job if I'm honest

My brother suffers from Crohns disease and i know how much he struggles like only being able to eat certain things in case of a flair up and being on meds for life. I tip my hat to you having to have that in your life and not let it affect you

Seriously I think it’s great to avoid having kids if that’s not your thing. I hate people who produce kids then show no desire to raise them or be interested in raising them.

 

so hats off to you!

[davieG]

I'm too modest to say.

[Parafox]

The job I did for 35 years. The people I've met or come into contact with that I otherwise wouldn't have who enriched my life. And remembering the bravery of humble people.

If I had them It wouldn’t be biologically anyway. Sometimes I do think it would be good to have kids but im

probably too selfish and want to do things in my life that wouldn’t be possible with kids. Mainly sleep.

[Wolfox]

I’m not without fault, but, I’m an honest, generally pleasant and nice (ish) bloke….  I’m comfortable in my own skin…

[rachhere]

I would say my drive to make the most of life. I have had quite a few unfortunate reminders growing up that life is too short. 

[Soup]

I'm not very clever at all, but the fact I've carved out a half decent life amazes me. 

[Dunge]

I’m going to go left field and say my stubbornness. I find it serves me well.

[FoxesDeb]

I'd have to say having the bottle to give up everything in the UK to move abroad in the middle of the pandemic and the ongoing post Brexit uncertainty. Or maybe it was stupidity, and therefore belongs in the other thread

I have great feet !

This is so great and interesting (no im not a fetishist )... given how often our society damages people, particularly women, about their appearance I'm intrigued as to what makes your feet great?

To be honest... almost every part of us is great, but most of us fail to recognise or acknowledge it..(mostly imho) because our media etc teaches us what is great and then sets us up to chase irrelevant and impossible physical goals, maybe this has not happened with feet?

Alternately of course you could be Leo Messi or Sam Kerr and you just mean that your feet are sporting wise.. incredible.
