Can you check/improve my list?

Hi, I now have what I believe to be a list of 7 virtues that one should aim for in life in order to be the best person they can be.  I have attempted to list them in Turkish.  Could someone have a look over my list and reassure me that it makes sense, or suggest more appropriate Turkish words that describe desirable human attributes?  Many thanks! 

 

Here is my list (and what I think the English equivalent is):

 

dürüstlük (honesty)

metanet (strength of character)

özsaygý (self-respect)

aðýrbaþlýlýk (dignity)

baðýþlayýcýlýk (forgiveness)

þefkat (kindness)

sevgi (love)

It makes sense, of course. That´s a very good list. Thank you.
