Your Personality and Success

Dear lovely people, today, I tell you that creating a successful life can be easy when you work with strengths and weaknesses to your advantage. Take a moment to think about your real self. Are you experiencing consistent progress toward your dream life and goals? Are there repeating problems in a particular area of your life? Let’s now read an excerpt of what MichaelTaylor - an Administrator by Profession says in his interesting article “How Your Personality Affects the Success in Your Life”

Generally, your personality is considered to be the totality of character attributes and behavioral traits that you possess. Your personality will differentiate you from another person, such as your spouse, personal friend, neighbor, associate at work, and others. The type of personality you develop through the stages of life can adversely or positively affect your current life situation or future plans. Factors such as individual attributes, social attributes, how what you don't know can affect you, the keys to success from developing your personality, among others, will be of interest to you. 

We are often seen as separate or different from another person based on our own thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition. Thinking enables us to recognize meaning, feeling helps us to evaluate, sensation provides us with perception and intuition points to possibilities available to us. Some consider feeling and thinking to be rational functions, but sensation and intuition as non-rational because they give rise to knowledge that cannot be reduced to any other mode of understanding. But we often demonstrate positive and negative individual attributes in our lives that can easily determine the success or failure in our personal relationships, academic pursuits, work goals, and daily general interactions with people. 

one of the Personal Individual Attributes that we need to observe and control include our Achievement Attitude, Emotional Temperament, Energy Level, Intellectual Factors, Material Traits, Maturity Level, Philosophical Attitudes, Physical Features, Risks Actions, and Task Performance. The Positive Characteristics of some of those Individual Attributes include, ambition, confidence, energetic, intelligence, thrifty, wise, optimistic, healthy, cautious, and organized. These are considered important to us because normally we need to demonstrate many of these in our daily lives for success. If we do not, then the negative features of our individual characteristic can hinder us in a manner not acceptable to family and friends. 

Negative Individual Characteristics include being unmotivated, insecure, passive, inattentive, wasteful, immature, pessimistic, weak, impulsive, and disorganized. Our Attributes will often give us a better perspective about what we know about ourselves and others. But there are some social attributes that are also relevant in this perspective. Social Attributes such as Aggression, Control Behavior, Dependability, Egocentrism, Emotional Expression, Fairness, Leadership, Physical Appearance, Regard for Rules, and Team Attitude will certainly matter. Success or failure on the job, in college, high school, on the sports field, in community relations, neighborly living, marriage, dating and such alike, can depend on these social features and whether or not we consistently demonstrate them with success, or not in unfortunate distress. 

We are admonished to learn, know, understand and actively demonstrate such positive social characteristics as thoughtfulness, gentleness, trust, forgiveness, congeniality, tolerance, independence, attractiveness, ethics, and patriotism. These are certainly better than the adverse social distressful traits such as, aggression, stubborn, dishonesty, greed, introverted, ungratefulness, fear, untidy, unethical, and antisocial. If our aim is for success in life, then companion with these and other similar negative social attributes will not help us.
