Admirable Personalities Of Nikhil: One Of My Best Friend

Improved Essays
Although the world has a plethora of people with pernicious personalities, plenty of them are admirable individuals deserving of recognition. I’ve had to deal with lots of unpleasant people in my life, but at the same time I have been fortunate and have met many people who I respect and admire. One such person is one of my best friends, Nikhil, who is very admirable.
One admirable trait Nikhil has is self-confidence in classes and in general social settings, which is a skill of his that I both respect and envy.

He really “puts himself out there”, leading to him having a great personality that is appreciated by everybody. Not only is he very confident and outspoken, but he is also very well-mannered and polite. He is grateful for what he is given and makes sure to express his appreciation. Due to his politeness and confidence, Nikhil is an admirable person.
Another reason that Nikhil is such a commendable person is that he is very hard-working. First, he is dedicated to his schoolwork. He takes all three offered honors classes, each of which demand consistent dedication and hard work to the classwork. In each of his classes, he studies hard to get the best grade possible. He puts good thought into his projects and prepares properly for tests. Last year, he particularly put effort into English, where he worked his way to an A. He put incredible effort into creating quality projects and often went

    The Importance of Maxims Colin McGinn’s “Why Not Be A Bad Person”, suggest many life altering perspectives on possible thought processes when conducting oneself with another individual as well as oneself. He suggest many maxims that have moralistic values in which he believes will help motivate individuals when making rational decisions and having rational reactions in situations.

More striking — and more surprising — they were aware that people who knew them well did not have quite the same high opinion of them. They acknowledged that those people would indeed see them as self-absorbed and disagreeable.…
