Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
To be a better person, do an inventory of yourself!. Change what you know is wrong!. Then - do all the right things, all the time!.

And apply the Golden Rule - Matthew 7:12
"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets" !.!.!. which simply means "treat others as you would like to be treated!.

A key element of the golden rule is that a person attempting to live by this rule treats all people, not just members of his or her in-group, with consideration!.

also - use the 2nd greatest Commandment - which is to love every person as you love yourself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

To be a better person I think you would have to be honest!. Because if your lying then your deceiving someone this would not make you a better person!. A white lie every now and again is ok, but i believe you should be honest with the person!. But this also depends on the question asked!. But when I saw be honest don't be malicious, just put the truth in a nice way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

try an experiment in your own life:

be silent!. take a vow of silence for 24 hours!. do it on a day off if you have to!. it will put you in a state of mind where you have to be a great observer!. you will be nice because you cannot say anything rude!. thoughts will come more easily to you when you are not concerned with how you respond verbally!.

also, it is somewhat amusing to communicate with people non-verbally!. i think it is fun, and i do this periodically in my own life when i feel too hurried!.!.!.

if this works well for you, you might want to try a longer period of time being silent!.

p!.s!.- keep a pad and pen with you, just in case!.!.!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

in order to be a better person (from my perspective) you have to remember that if you DO good, you RECEIVE good!.
it all depends on what kind of a person you are!.
I used to be grumpy most of the time, my sarcasm turned into mean comments and soon into being a negative person about mostly everything!.
I would highly recommend this book to you!. it's called: "the tao te ching!."
it talks about life, and it really helped me understand the world around me in a much more logical and simple way!.
this book changed my life!.
especially my mind, the way I view things, the way I interact with people!. it truly turned me into a better person!.
remember this also:
always be the cause of your own happiness!.
it's really simple to be happy!. just think good thoughts, and you'll be happy!.
it's all in the mind!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

this might not necessary be what you are looking for but personally i think that in order to improve from where you are, you have to accept yourself first!. know your weakness and accept it!.
then ask yourself what happens if someone else has the same problem!? what would you tell them to change!? how would you feel toward them!? things like that!.
i hope this helps you :]Www@QuestionHome@Com
