For all those who are doing higher studies, personality development is amongst one of the most common terms heard by them. Such an important practice of this term signifies its importance. Personality development does not mean to enrich a person’s outlook. Personality development is not achieving good grades. Personality development is not just one thing but it is a cluster of many things. Personality development is the knowledge of what you are. It includes all the traits you have, your strengths and weaknesses. Knowing them is just not sufficient, you need to accept them. If you are not ready to accept them, then change them. Personality development is self-confidence and positivity. Self-confidence is the first and the most important trait of personality development. Someone who desires a dashing personality should have self-confidence and he must toss out all the negativity away from his mind. He needs to have an optimistic approach to life. Personality development means to be courteous. A person who is always admired for his personality is always courteous towards others. He will be always ready to help others and will be very polite and humble with everyone he meets. And last but not the least personality is enhanced by the attire that suits the occasion. Obviously going to a board meeting wearing shorts and tees is not at all acceptable. On the other hand, for girls, going to their work while you are wearing so many jewellery pieces is not a trait of good personality.
If you want to succeed in life you must have a good personality. Wherever you go, it is your personality that describes not the words you speak. Suppose you go to a party wearing a very good suit and you just look awesome in it. You are being admired for your looks, for your achievements and everybody is praising you. Suddenly a waiter comes and by mistake drops some drink on your suit and says sorry. Instead of forgiving him for his mistake you slap him in front of everyone and yell at him very badly. This scene will make a fuss of your whole personality. You will no more be praised, but everyone will speak against you behind your back. This may be a great stop in your career and achievements also. This may bring you down from topmost priority to the last priority. But if you had forgiven the waiter, you would have increased your number of admirers. Personality plays a very important role in success. Your personality can make you more preferred over others. Your personality may provide with more opportunities. A good personality can bring in many surprises in your life. Personality development is often conjugated with a good education. Education plays a very important role in developing a good personality.
