What makes a well-rounded person?

This is not astrology related (my apologies), but I am starting a blog and the foundation of my blog will be centered around this concept.

What, to you, makes someone well-rounded? Not just in personality traits, but in their activities and daily lives.

Define "well-rounded."

For the moment it sounds like something out of baking class.

Ready to make those well-round cupcakes, Seraph?

They must be shaped like a circle or a cylinder.

LOL

Oh wow, I see we have some smart asses in baking class today.

I'd say someone:

- who puts value on being in good physical health
- who values the seeking of knowledge he/she can apply to make life more agreeable
- who sees as much importance in emotional expression as in emotional containment

(my head hurts from writing a serious post .. never again !)

the more from this list the better:

- home (with personal touch)
- sleep (wakeup without wakeup call)
- food (balanced with xyz)
- slow times in between to dream or analysis or benumb the mind (like with TV)
- touch (bf, gf, parents, pets, trees, grass, walls, own body)
- body motion (sport, walking, stairs, dance, housework)
- music (making, listenting, dancing)
- financially over the poverty limit (through work, gifts or sponsorship)
- reading/research/learning (autodidactic, online courses, community college, university, within family or friends)
- creating/changing activity (hobby, work, charity, housework)
- charity
- friend/s
- some kind of community in the back (church, nerds club, green peace...)
- nature (air, sounds, smells, view, widness, tightness, light, dark)
- travel (architecture, people, nature, art, food)

No one in my family can bake (we aren't well-rounded!)

To be fair, we can, but just not well. And no one is really willing to mark off the "reading/research/learning" box on the checklist to remedy the problem.
