What are one word virtues that help you lead a "perfect life" Or traits whatever?
Stupid assignment and cant think of anything
***************
Personal
The eight personal virtues relate to your attitudes toward activities and their challenges. Good personal character traits will better your chances of success in achieving your goals.
Temperance: Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
Order: Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.
Moderation: Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
Industry: Lose no time; be always employed in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation.
Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
Social
These five social virtues that Franklin stated concern your attitudes toward people with whom you have dealings. Good social character traits result in other people wanting to do business with you or to have relationships with you.
Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
Justice: Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation.
Humility: Imitate Jesus and Socrates.

Not sure what section you wold want to put these in or if you are to come up with just a random ten more but here are my suggestions:
Dignity – being respectful of those around you, as in don’t fart or burp when there are girls around
Courage – being able to face your fears or a dangerous situation
Creativity – finding a talent or art that displays who you are and allows you to feel free when you paint, draw, sing, sculpt, etc
Purity – whether it be that you remain a virgin until you are truly ready, eat only healthy foods, or stay away from drugs and alcohol purity means that you don’t allow the world to dirty your mind or body
Integrity – being honest and helpful even when you’re not being watched, when no one will be able to see that you tossed trash out the window or that you made the mess in the kitchen
Purpose – every life has to have a purpose or even several of them, something that keeps you wanting to be alive and full of life and joy
Wisdom – learning from mistakes you have made in the past and actually changing the way you live because something just didn’t work
Go here to get a whole list of them. Each can be clicked on for further definitions.
