Personal development refers to those activities that enhance an individual’s talents, potential, employability, consciousness in order to achieve one's greatest possibility. Personality development not only makes you appear presentable but also boosts your confidence to face the tough challenges of life. Personal development is an ongoing process of self-improvement either in your career, in your education, in your personal life, or in all of these areas. It turns you proactive and instead of letting things happen, you go out there and make things happen.
As a person, you need to know about yourself first. You need to identify your merits, demerits, strong and weak points, and the qualities that you need to improve. One needs to start with taking a good look at themselves, analyzing their traits, the strengths and weaknesses and everything that needs to be worked upon. Don’t shy away from accepting your flaws and learn about yourself as much as you can.
Closely following others who are better than you in terms of personality, communication, and dress-sense is a great way to enhance your personality. But the key point is don’t imitate others blindly, just try to take all the good qualities that may suit you properly, and leave the rest. If you can find a mentor or coach your task will be easier.
There are many people out there who in spite of having better merit and capability, suffer from inferiority complex because of their physical appearance, caste, financial status etc. You should be confident about who you are and whatever you do. Your confidence reflects your character, attitude and passion.
Dressing sensibly and smartly go a long way in honing one’s personality. Proper clothing is an essential element as it is the first thing others will notice about you. According to the experts, you don’t need to define yourself by wearing the highest fashion. It’s crucial that wear clothes that suit with your complexion, height, appearance and make you feel comfortable. There is no restriction in trying something new, but it should not be incongruous and bizarre.
No matter where you go; be it a job interview or attending your college, your overall personality plays a very important role in determining your success. Apart from your educational qualifications, experience and job expertise, you need to have a fantastic personality that will differentiate you from others. Don’t let others to take the spotlight away from you, it’s your responsibility to increase your acceptability to the employers.
