Answers:
- Selfishness - this kind of person will never succeed in life,
- Weakness - we live in a competitive world, so it's needed to be spiritually strong,

Egocentrism. When someone is egocentric He has a lot of other defects.

[Gustavo Dias]

The worst kind of person in this world, is boring people that criticize me.

For example: People that complain about I don't have responsability... And specially when they say I don't pay attention at the things...

Hi, In my opinion, the worst defect a person can have is not telling the truth - a liar. You never can trust in their behavior, attitude, word. It's terrible!!!!

Hello.

Flavia, you may have used the wrong demonstrator in your "this people don't..." If you so desired, you might have written and implied, "these people don't..." or "this kind of people don't..."

Silvia Mattos, on your "You never can trust..." You might have thought of putting "never" in mid-position. Like this: "You can never trust..." More often than not, we place never after modal auxiliary verbs. Such as can. Or could, at least.

At my own risk and loss, you might have thought of lynching me. Not only do I sometimes fail to greet my neighbors, but also I won't hold the elevator door open for them. All on a "First one in, first one up or down" basis. To add injury to insult, I have a small 4 door sedan equipped with triple yet powerful air horns to warn other drivers that they've just cut me off. To make things more miserable, you can never know what the guy on the next corner will do. Will he pull a gun, a knife, on you as you walk by him? Why do newspapers sport so many ominous headlines then? Little nowadays does big city living have to offer in terms of personal safety.

I don't have any reason for lynching you. BTW, thanks for the correction.
And, what a lovely neighbour and driver you are.

Flávia,

I believe that thinking you don´t have any faults is actually the worst of them.Everbody makes mistakes and is expected to try and change as a way of finding God.


Good luck!
