365 Exciting Ways to Live: Excitement # 32 : Build a Healthy Personality

Build a Healthy Personality
Clothes and manners do not make the man; but, when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance.
– Henry Ward Beecher

Have you thought about your external personality as seen by others?     We are being observed by others and we create an image about ourselves. Image is an important parameter for success. Recently, image and impression consulting has become a lucrative profession. They advise you how you should behave, what and how you should dress, what and how to talk to others etc., which go a long way in projecting your image.
Think about the following parameters with respect to your personality:
·         Your dress – do you dress to the occasion? Is it neat and clean, without stains? Are they wrinkled?
·         Your teeth – are there stains?
·         Your shoes – when did you last polish?
·         Your nails – are they neatly cut?
·         Do you have bad breath? Others may feel embarrassed to tell this to you!
·         Your hairstyle? Do you look haggard?
·         When eating, do you burp? While sipping a tea or coffee, do you make a sound?
·         When you speak, are you too loud or too low?

From today, notice these aspects of your external personality!
