Snow White – Her 5 Best Traits

Snow White has been loved and admired by generations of girls. She is known for her beautiful appearance and her characteristic princess dress; however, she doesn’t give enough credit to some of the other important qualities of hers. Snow White was more than just a pretty face. Here’s a list of the top five best traits of hers, things we all could use a little more of.

5. Optimistic

Snow White was always optimistic that one day she would find true love. In the Disney movie, she is initially shown working as a maid and wearing tattooed clothes, but singing and hoping that one day her true love will find her. Even after being abandoned in the forest by the hunter who was supposed to kill her, she never took a defeatist attitude. She believed that even when things were difficult, she would find a way to be happy.

4.Useful

From her days as a humble servant to her time living with the dwarfs, Snow White never shied away from lending a hand. Whether cleaning, cooking, or helping an emaciated old lady, she was always willing to help. Some would say that helping the old woman, the evil queen in disguise, proved that no good deed goes unpunished. Instead, consider that she Snow White knew that she needed to protect herself from strangers, but she didn’t let her fear paralyze her from acting when she thought her help was needed.

3 cheerful

No matter what the situation, Snow White was always in a good mood. Whether she was drawing water from a well as a servant, or finding herself surrounded by strange animals in the forest, or cleaning an incredibly dirty cabin for the dwarves, she was always singing, smiling, and happy. This little princess is as happy in her rags as she is in her beautiful dress. She shows us that even when faced with a difficult task, you can make things seem a little better when you have a positive attitude.

2. Persevering

Yes, Snow White knew how to persevere. She was a princess forced to work as a servant, but she did not give up hope for a better life. She was left alone in the woods after being told her stepmother wanted her dead, but she found a way to move on. It’s true that most of her actual skills made her seem like a glorified housekeeper, but considering everything she’d been through, we know she was more. The reason we don’t think about her ability to be tough and carry on is that she never complains about her misfortune. But the fact that she went ahead without complaining is why this was one of the most admirable qualities of hers.

1. Kind

Most people facing the same obstacles as Snow White would not emerge as kind people. When faced with constant injustices and difficulties, most of us find it difficult to maintain a caring attitude towards others. Consider how this fairy tale would change if Snow White had allowed her misfortune to harden her heart. Yes, she could have avoided eating a poison apple, but maybe her prince wouldn’t have found it. Or go back further, maybe if she had been a brat to the hunter who was ordered to kill her, he might not have felt sympathy for her. However, she Snow White remains kind to the end and that is why she eventually lives happily ever after.

Most of us would do well to follow the example of this sweet little princess and learn to see life as she did. While as adults it is difficult to modify our habits to adopt a different perspective, fortunately it is easier for our children. So enjoy the classic Snow White tale with her son and consider how you can teach him to accept some of her best qualities.
