Brazilian model and the ex-wife of Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen has always been that person who would be at the forefront to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Coming from the humble roots of Horizontina in Brazil, compassion and care is something she grew up learning from a very young age. Having to inculcate the trait of selflessness in herself early in life, Gisele became a very giving person in life.

But she soon learned how people took advantage of her nature and expected her to always be there for them, even in the direst circumstances. Hearing a no from Gisele upset people, which eventually left her feeling hurt and used. But there were some people that she appreciated and who brought out the best in her. In her book, “Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life” Gisele Bündchen once revealed the attributes which in her opinion made an individual more approachable and friendly. She described the types of people with whom she liked building friendships.

Gisele wrote about the kind of people and company she enjoyed in life. The Brazilian model loved being in the company of people who could inspire her to be the best version of her own self. She wrote about how she believes that a good heart resides in every individual, and compassionate people are the type of people Gisele builds a friendship. She appreciates it when people are direct with her and can communicate clearly.

She wrote, “In particular I enjoy being around people who inspire me and bring out my best. People who are kind, intelligent, and compassionate. I also don’t like beating around the bush. Be direct- I can take it. I hope I give back these same qualities to my friends. Time is the biggest gift any of us is given, and we have a limited amount of it.”
