A good personality reflects character and behavior. It makes someone likable and an honor to be with. Good looks may be an asset, but a good persona overrides external beauty across many streams, be it social life, education, arts, and politics. Success and happiness come about when good interactions occur. A good personality acts like a magnet, drawing people. And, it doesn’t need you to be flashy and loud; shyness and restraint are powerful character traits.
Growing age may influence human qualities, but real-life exposure to things has an impact on personality development. Let us know the possible ways and situations that contribute to shaping positive behavior and disposition.
- Be a Good Listener
Talking is a natural habit that comes to most of us. Few realize the power of listening and the difference it can create in personal life and business situations. The best men are not born with an active tongue, but with a hearing ear. The noise of a happy soul or a strained relationship does not need ears. It requires observation, listening, heart, and concerned eyes.
To be an active listener, use nonverbal cues that show understanding. It could be maintaining eye contact, nodding, and leaning forward. Verbal pronouncements like “I understand,†“I see,†“Thank you†show concern. Active listeners avoid interrupting the conversation. They like to repeat what they have heard. They also notice body language to reach an extra level of understanding in the conversation. Meet a person in the eyes too, don’t limit it to a handshake. Little measures like these grooms your personality.
- Develop Curiosities
It is easy to become an exciting person to know, provided you have shown interest in understanding the things around you. The more you catch up on reading, the more chances of increasing your knowledge and depth of things. After all, who will object to know a person of wit, intellect, and know-how?
Meeting people is a fantastic way of learning and exchanging views and opinions and expanding knowledge in current affairs, literature, music, and sports. It is good for mental health and keeps the mind fresh, active, and responsive in creating new areas of interest. Hunger for novelty helps us stay curious. It adds to the confidence and makes one think outside the box. Â

A research study published in Psychopharmacology in October 2014 advocates that cannabis consumption may improve creative functioning. Fifty-three volunteers were put into three groups to complete two mind-engaging tasks on creative thinking and convergent thinking. The first group was put on a placebo, the second group got 5.5 mg THC dose, and the third group got 22 mg of THC. Volunteers who took 5.5 mg of weed scored the most in the exam. It proved that a small amount of cannabis intake is adequate to see positive results in creativity. Â

Shop for quirky things such as coffee mugs, clocks, apparels, and instruments for comic relief. It will attract more people towards you and help them count on you in stressful situations.
