What does it mean to be a Well Rounded Person?
It is the goal of many, to be a well rounded person, but what does this mean? What does it really mean to be well rounded? Well, here's what I believe to be 4 important attributes in well rounded people.
1. Physically well rounded
It's important you keep your body in good shape. In my opinion this is done most properly by, an active lifestyle. When we speak about health as a means of well roundedness, what we mean is being, what I like to call functionally fit. This kind of fitness has more to do with lifestyle than workout routines. This sharpens the mind, makes you faster, more nimble, and better equipped in all aspects of life.
2. Mentally well rounded
Have you ever heard the phrase "a Jack of all trades, is a master of none?" While this is somewhat true, I would take the "Jack of all trades" on my team any day. The reason is: In my opinion to be mentally well rounded, you must be curious by nature. You must have interest in many different topics, and have the willingness to research those topics until you have a workable understanding. This is what separates textbook from real life intellect. To be well rounded you must be an asset to the people around you. What better asset to have, than someone who is knowledgeable in many different areas of life?
3. Emotionally well rounded
A well rounded person must have control over his emotions. He must remain reasonable and grounded, no matter the emotional turmoil he may be facing. His wisdom, and experience must control his decision
making. This problem is most prominent throughout life, in his relationships with others. It is his relationships, that will test his emotional maturity. To love someone is life's greatest gift, but he can not give people power in his life that borders on control.
4. Spiritually well rounded
This has to do with the moral foundation of a person. Each person has a code in which they live by. This is generally based upon religious background, but doesn't necessarily have to be. However, it is a set of rules that a person uses as kind of a road map in life. A well rounded person will seek wisdom to lay this foundation. It is their dignity, and self respect that are at stake, when these rules are broken. Therefore, a well rounded person does not take short cuts in life, if the price is his spiritual well being.

Top of the day to you! I'm sorry this is kind of unrelated but I require some instruction from an established site. Is it awfully complicated to create your own personal weblog? I am not very good with technical stuff but I can figure different things out fairly fast. I'm contemplating setting up my very own weblog however I'm unclear about where to start. Do you have some points? Many thanks

What I learned from that loss, and also another loss that I'm going to talk about later, was that when you're there, it's not good enough to be there, when you're there, you better walk away with that ring.
