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!

365 Exciting Ways to Live: Excitement # 22: Get Noticed!

Get Noticed

If you don't get noticed, you don't have anything. You just have to be noticed, but the art is in getting noticed naturally, without screaming or without tricks.

Leo Burnett

Have you thought about the trait of ‘getting noticed’?   In order to succeed in life, we have to get noticed by others. We may have all the talents and we may also be contributing, but we may not be noticed. Unless we are noticed, we will not be recognised in the society.

Next time when you go to a departmental store, notice how the products are displayed to catch your attention. Even if the product is very good, people should know in what way it is different from that of the competitors. This is what is projected by the marketing agency.

Check what you have to get noticed by others. How do you ‘package’ your contribution to others? What is your unique talent? Is your communication skill different from others? How is your image – both internal and external? Are you an inspiration to others? Is there something which you alone can offer, which no one else can? If so how do you communicate your uniqueness to the world?

Today ponder over the above and jot down a few ideas, which come to your mind.
