Is there a personality trait or habit you've clearly inherited from your family?

A natural way to answer

I think I've inherited my father's patience. He never rushes and always thinks things through, and I notice myself doing the same. I've also picked up my grandmother's love of feeding people, which I'm quite happy about.
