PERSONALITY
By NELLIE SUMMERS, Chemawa student
Personality is that which sets one apart from others.
It is character forcefully expressed.
One may have
character without personality but one cannot radiate
qualities he does not possess.
If you meet a man for
the first time and remember afterwards some expres
sion of his face, the tone of his voice or remark, his
personality has played its part and won.
Great men of all ages have possessed strong person
alities.
Our leaders are people who are able to put
across their ideas and make people want to adopt them
as their own.
In business life many men as well as
women who have good ideas are left behind, plodding
in the same old rut, because they do not know how
to express themselves. That is where address, one of
the main requirements of a good personality comes in..
The other requirement is dress.
When meeting people for the first time we receive
an eye expression.
Therefore it is necessary to
look better than they really are while others do not
emphasize their good points.
Personality is something that may be acquired by a
careful survey of oneself to see what qualities must be
cultivated. It is good to be alone once in awhile and
take inventory of what we possess and what we are
lacking.
It takes many qualities to make a pleasing
personality. Among some of the most important are:
Cheerfulness, courteousness, enthusiasm, moderation,
ambitiousness and numerous others. Anyone practic
ing these qualities faithfully everyday will reap the re
wards which is a pleasing personality and which makes
friends. So much of our happiness depends on friends
and people around us.
