Essay On My Favourite Personality-Suitable for all class students

All through his life, a man comes in direct or indirect contact with many other people. He interacts with them on various purposes. As a result, he builds his own perceptions about everyone he interacts with, with the consequence that he hates some people while he admires others. But there are some people whom he admires most. Likewise, there are some people of my acquaintance whom I admire very much. But I must say that there is one man whom I admire most-he is my father.

In this regard, however, I must request the reader not to consider this fact as a matter of normal filial love of a son to his father. In fact, even if my father had not been my father and yet had been a man having the same characteristics he had, I would admire him the most.

To be truthful, I have seen several people in my life who deserve special esteem for various reasons, but never have I met such a perfect man like my father. He stands out to me as the most venerable example of a good man. He taught me how a man differs and should differ, from a beast. His entire life was a perfect example of a human fully blessed with the gift of honesty, greedlessness, altruism, truthfulness, integrity, and piety. While most of the fathers of the modern age teach their children how to earn money and live better financially, he taught me how to become a perfect man, a man of conscience and love. I have seen him give away a portion of his income to the needy people. To do this he sometimes had to starve, as he was not very wealthy. Yet the fangs of starvation could never hinder him from what he really wanted to do. He was a very benevolent neighbor. And all his neighbors were very pleased with him. Never in his life had he missed a single prayer to God. He was never seen to beconceited. His gentlemanly behavior pleased all of those who met him once. I can remember no incident by which it can be proved that he had a little greed for money. He planted trees on both sides of many streets of our village and took care of them. Many times I participated with him in that noble work. Father used to say, “We all have to plant some trees we will never sit under.” In that tender age of mine I understood little of what he meant, but now I do.

Perhaps I have already given some reasons why I admire my father most. But it will be rude of me to measure his greatness in the light of what he did; rather, I must throw light upon his attitudes towards and belief of the external world to fathom the greatness of his mind. My father, for example, held the view that all humans of the world are equally respectable. People, according to him, deserve sympathy and love, irrespective of their caste and creed. He often quoted to us from the Bible, “Hate the sin, not the sinner.” This attitude and belief of his were manifested in the way he behaved with people of various religions. “We must love the poor,” he used to say, “but that doesn’t mean that we should hate the rich.” Surprisingly enough, he never prayed to God for any specific thing; on the country, he was heard to say in his prayer, “O God, give me only what is good for me. It is you who know best what is good or bad for me.” And God had given him not wealth nor power–but the most coveted gift to a noble father; that is, a very affectionate and faithful son like me. Though however, I have no outstanding achievement in my life, I am confident that I am at least a good son of a good father. Besides, all through his life, he received much respect and love from me.
