What is personality? The word “Personality” comes from the root persona, which means “mask”. Our personality is a mask that we wear. We don’t have to wear a mask when we are by ourselves; we wear a mask to express ourselves to others. Our personality is a character, and that character is composed of certain habits. Each of us has numerous habits; so when we want to understand our habit patterns. A habit pattern is a conscious thought or action that one repeats again and again. This creates a groove in the unconscious mind and forms an unconscious habit. All habit patterns are self-created. When we sit down and try to understand which of our habits control our life, we see that there are many deep-rooted habits within us.

          Choose habits that will mold your personality into a super successful student and person.

“No man will ever be totally free who is living a lie.”

By: Marvin J. Ashton

We definitely agree with Marvin’s statement. Being true to yourself is the only way to reach happiness. Living a lie, and pretending to be happy, wont satisfy you inner soul, and one may become miserable.

We should understand our capacities and potentials, and then we should express ourselves in the external world with full confidence, acting steps without any reservations. Thus there are three in performing an action: first, forming an opinion within ourselves; second, expressing our opinion to others: and third, executing our opinion in action.

Understanding Habits Patters

The main thing that one should learn in life—and it is not taught in the home or in the school1s – self-analysis. We should learn to analyze ourselves. If we really was to understand ourselves, we can analyze our personality by understanding our habit patters. This is not difficult. We should simply try consciously aware of every action we perform and realize that our actions are virtually our thoughts. Without thought there can be no action. Habit patterns and thoughts are revealed through behavior. There is a branch of psychology called behaviorism that is based on this concept. But one should understand that external behavior alone cannot reveal everything about a person.

Part 1

Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do we have to go out and search those keys, or do we have those potentials already within ourselves? When we begin to exam life, we can see that it divided into two aspects – life within and life without; internal life and external life – and we can see that these aspects are of equal importance. Even if we renounced the world, gone far away from civilization, and life in the wilderness doing nothing but meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We still have to see that we eat, do our ablutions, and perform our practices on time. So life in the external road is as important as life in the internal world. Even one who has renounced the world has to understand the word relationship properly, because life itself is actually relationship. The body is related to the breath, and the breath is related to the mind. The body, breath, senses, and mind all function together a unit. So life virtually means relationship, and thus the art of living and being requires an understanding of one’s relationship to the external world and the relationships within oneself.

Benjamin Franklin’s 13 Virtues

Franklin tracked his progress on charts he created. The first letter of each day was listed on the top and the first letter of each virtue was indicated down the left side. He would add a dot if he felt he fell short of meeting that virtue on a given day. Benjamin Franklin carried these charts with him as a reminder of his personal plan of conduct.

The following 13 virtues continue to be relevant today. Next to each virtue is Franklin’s definition.

 

1.Temperance

“Eat not to dullness”

“Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself.

Avoid trifling conversation.”
