The answer would be "No" and the answer would be "Yes" as well. :confused:


Personality is the overall manifestation of all the above qualities. And it is personality that differentiates you from another and makes you a unique individual. Personality helps you to get identified even in crowd. It adds that extra flavor that gives an edge over others. Hence developing personality is very important. There are some easy methods to do it whereas there are certain factors/ qualities that one needs to lean and imbibe overtime. Personality development does not need to be over emphasized. It gives you a job, it gives you acceptability and awards you with social status and respect.

Let us discuss some of the doable ways to develop personality---

  • You may be a very good orator, an excellent communicator but to have a soothing personality, you should first learn to be a good attentive listener.
  • You should increase your ken so that you can participate in any kind of discussion, be it finance and economy or sports and politics. This gives a all round personality.
  • You should be able to carry a conversation perfectly and in a smooth manner. If you are not good at that, you should practice talking with your peers on a matter that you know very well, initially and then gradually start moving to some topics that are comparatively harder to you and you have little or no knowledge about them. The strategy is like leaving junior school and getting in to the college. This would help you to develop confidence while conversing with someone over a topic which is not you cup of tea. Remember, this is a situation, which you would face most of the time be it your job interview or a date with your fussy girl friend.
  • Opinion building is very important. And it comes from updated knowledge. Hence read news papers and magazines. Read good articles and editorials. Being and "yes man" leads you no where. Perhaps at times you would find that your exceptional and off the track opinion makes you an important and valuable figure in office. But remember that opinion should be backed by adequate logic and reasoning so that you can defend your point. This will bring about masculinity in your personality. See, masculinity is not in "muscles" but in "smartness of thinking and attitude.
  • Positive outlook is a must for having a positive personality. You should be radiating positive vibes wherever you go. This will also help you to look at the positive aspects of things. This is a rare quality though you would hear many people saying this and many pretending as if they are positive, whereas they are skeptical inside. Don't be one of those; create your style and talk about positive staff.
  • Being supportive and treating people with due respect gives your personality that charismatic and pleasing fragrance which gets you respect from others. Getting respect from others is very important if you do not want to be "taken for granted". It enhances the acceptability of your opinion.

There are many other ways how we can develop a pleasing and positive personality.

Please share your opinion and experiences with some typical style of personality development strategy and their success.

Thanks
