Poll: Give me your definition of the following words: Grace, Class, Dignity, Strength

[Hawkeye]

This is hard for me to even think about.

I'm trying to describe someone and everytime i come back to them these are the only 4 words that I really need elaboration on. Does that make sense? I mean everyone uses these words but what do they actually MEAN? Not just a m-w.com version-

So just give me your opinion

To me strength defines itself physically AND mentally! There are so many jobs outthere that need an immense mental strength and so many people show a lot of mental strength! They don't have to be celebs but just "simple" people around you!

I hope you can follow me and my weird mind!

Have you ever checked out wikipedia.com for hints?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace

 

[Hawkeye]

yes. i am more interested in looking for other peoples perspectives rather than a definition does that make sense?

 

[user2]

of course it does but maybe it gives you some inspiration! I hope my text did....but I personally don't think so!

This is cool, because my opinion of things like this, confuse people...but i always seem to think of these descriptions differently than in dictionaries...anyways i hope thi helps you somewhat

Grace is having a sweetness, tenderness, and consideration in how you do things

Class is respect in yourself and in others..politeness and also your morals play a part in that

Dignity is keeping who you are, all the time, but not saving face when someone needs you It's being a good person, and the bigger person

Strength is what you have to offer as a person, with your heart, your head..everything inside that you are capable of.

Grace...it tends to suggest a beauty and consideration in movement - for instance, my cat gets startled easily, so everyone in my house walks with a bit more tenderness around him, to let him know he's safe. Grace is also definitely beauty and consideration in one's thoughts, either self-contained, or in relation to others.

I personally don't like to use the word 'class' and only ever use it to refer to socio-economic background. Yes, it sounds wanky. But I know you're interested in other people's perspectives, so that's why I mention it.

Dignity is a bit like having the courage to be one's true self. Easier said that done, therefore it takes a truly strong person to be like that. It's so much easier to be what everyone wants you to be...but a bit sad too. Strength is tightly aligned with this, being personal and mental courage, putting yourself in a vulnerable position sometimes to the benefit of others.

I could go on forever...but you're lucky today!
