Apply the virtues example 1

I went into the supermarket and some people were collecting for the homeless. I got a leaflet from them and realised I could give some old stuff to help, clothes, shoes etc. I don't need them. When I got talking to the woman, I got interested in helping at their soup kitchen, so one night a week, I do that. 

Which virtue is applied in the 1st example?

Apply the virtues example 2

I used to have a real temper. I got angry easily and always lashed out. Now I have calmed myself down and don't take things so personally. I also have more patience with people. I try to think before I speak/act, so I try to be part of a solution, not make a problem worse

Which virtue is applied in the 2nd example?

Apply the virtues example 3

Near my house are three lodges, where people walk their dogs and go fishing. There is loads of birds and wildlife there as well. I noticed it gets lots of rubbish thrown around, which hurts the wildlife and looks awful. I decided I would clean up. A few friends and I do a clean-up once a month. Rubbish still gets left, but more people take it home with them and it definitely looks a lot better.

Which virtue is applied in the 3rd example?
