I am sure everyone is
aware of the term personality development. The emphasis on these two words is
so common these. There are so many institutes and centers offering crash
courses in personality development. Do you have any idea about what exactly
personality is and how can you build and rebuild it?
If you think personality
means looking good and attractive then my friend you are absolutely wrong.
Personality is a very broad term and takes into account the physical as well as
the mental state of an individual. At times even mannerism is considered a part
of personality. No matter where you go be it an interview or your daily working
place your overall personality plays a very crucial role in determining your
success. This is the reason why so many people now a day’s enroll for
personality development programs. But to be honest you do not need to do all
that. Keep one thing in mind that these institutes do not any magic and will
not turn you into a different being devoid of flaws. They merely teach you how
to manipulate yourself and bring out the good. This can be done by yourself as
well with a little guidance and you can save your precious money from slipping
out of your pocket. These institutes do charge handsomely. I can help you with
a few tips that can help you develop your personality within a few days. The
following are the important tips that can help you in developing your
personality.
10. Know yourself
The first step on your
quest to develop your personality is to know yourself. It is very important to
know yourself in order to figure out what needs to be done to modify your
existing personality. Knowing yourself is not about knowing your favorite
color, food and etc. It is about knowing your limitations and plus points. You
must be aware of your abilities so that you can use them when the time comes.
You need to analyze yourself and find out what is it that you lacking in. Are
you short tempered or do you panic easily or is that you can’t speak in a
group. Find out and then accordingly we can work on your personality.
9. Comparison
You need to accept one thing that you cannot be
best at everything. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. You are different
from others; you have your own set of talents and abilities. Just because there
is someone around who is great at a think you are not good at does not mean he
is better than you. There will be things that he cannot do but you can. No one
is perfect in this world. So never compare yourself to others. It does more
harm than good. Love yourself and you will definitely achieve a better
personality.
8. Positivity
A very important trait that is required to
achieve anything in life is a positive attitude. Yes there are things that you
want to do but cant. There might be situation you are unhappy about. But there
are also the good moments. There are situations where you were praised and
proved successful. So don’t let the tough times beat you. Have a positive
attitude in life. Tell yourself that you can do the task given to you. It has
been seen that having a positive approach increases the chances of completing a
task at hand. Positive attitude also makes you friendly and cheerful which on
the whole reflects in your personality.
7. Courteous
Personality as I said is not just about how you
look. It is how you present yourself. It is how you impress others. An
expressionless and monotonous tone will get you nowhere. You need to have an
attitude that is pleasing so that you are welcomed wherever you go. Be
courteous and humble. Greet your juniors with a smile and reply back to their
greetings. At times have lunch together or offer your lunch to them. Be
available for your people and you will become dependable for them. This is a
remarkable trait for your personality. Mannerism weighs a lot in the professional
world.
6. Body Language
Having a personality takes into account
everything. Not just the way you dress up and talk but also your body language.
How you walk, sit , eat , how you behave when others are talking etc make a
huge impact on others. Your body language is therefore a very important is very
aspect of your personality. Have a relaxed posture. Walk upright do not droop
or be extra rigid. When others in a group are talking have a relaxed tone. Do
not get involved with the surroundings but pay attention to the speaker. If he
is talking to you have a calm eye contact and not staring or distracted. Have a
good body language that shows that you are confident.
5. Physique
The easiest way to achieve a good personality
is to have a good physique. It cannot be denied that a good physique is very
important. It is a very important part of your personality. Your physique not
only sets an impression but it speaks a lot about you. A good physique says
that you are a well planned person. You think about yourself and about your
health. It also gives a perception that you are away from bad habits and
company. It really says a lot about you. So start exercising and stay fit to
develop your personality.
4. Speech
A very vital part of any personality development
program is to help you speak better. By speaking better I do not mean using big
words and giving speeches. The words you use are very important. Have a decent
and simple manner of speaking. Use a language that is understood by all. Now a
day’s English has the top priority. If you do not have grips over this language
enroll yourself with some coaching class. When you speak in a group see to it
that your words are not offending or agitating. When to speak is more important
than what to speak. So take care of your speech as much as you can.
3. Appreciate
A great personality knows how to impress and
make an impact. In the professional world where you work or stay in a group; to
be accepted by others is very important. All the pain of building a personality
is to be accepted so that we can move on and work in a better way. Develop a
habit of appreciating your mates no matter how small the work is. Although take
care that you are not being fake. Appreciating others makes you a very friendly
person. You also motivate your mates and that makes you a better employee as
well. Thus a simple habit of appreciating helps you develop your personality by
making you a little selfless.
2. Attire
Yes personality is not all about dressing up
but the way you dress does have an impact on your personality. So even if not
the most important you attire is definitely one of the most important aspect of
your personality. Dress up in a decent manner. Be professional and avoid flashy
colors. Avoid unnecessary piercing on your body or tattoos. Wear neatly ironed
and unstained clothes. Look professional or according to the environment of
your working place. It is very important to develop your personality to have a
great sense of dressing.
1. Confidence
I will definitely say that this is the most
important thing to be achieved to obtain a better personality. You have to be
confident with whatever you do. Your confidence says that you know about your
work and you are well aware of your abilities. If you shy of speaking in public
then you have to start speaking as having confidence is very important. Believe
in yourself and to help you build confidence read success stories of other
people. Have motivational slogans and pictures on your board etc to help you
boot your confidence.
