How to build a strong personality:

Having a strong personality, nowadays, is of essence. It’s the ability to stand steadfast in the face of life and its vicissitudes during one’s lifetime. Yet, it stands to reason that we should point out the bare-bones of steps one should follow to reach this aim.

In my book, each person may have a particular strategy or perception regarding how to shape a sturdy personality.

Personally, I believe that reading tops the league, as the main step to start with in a bid to build up a strong personality, due to its effectiveness of shaping one’s mindset. With no a scintilla of doubt, the more books you read, the more stable and logical you grow, therefore provided with tremendous ideas and logical evidence, which are the most critical  weapons required in this present-day era, marked by the unstoppable flow of information launched every day. At this stage, through reading, we can surround ourselves by shields to protect our minds from any foreign potential attempts of hegemony over our thoughts. This high capacity plays an important role in dealing easily with conversations.

Furthermore, I rank experience second, as another essential tool, whose impact emerges as having great outcomes on the way we think and act. As a matter of fact, being sociable, leading a daily life marked by meeting people from different realms, will apparently affect how one could respond to certain situations, as follows, daily challenges, taking swift and down-to-earth decisions, as well as developing the way to understand and deal with people.

Having said that, we have to know that, the most important thing is that our moves in life should all be around a straight and plain aim. The effectiveness of having a clear vision imparts self-confidence to individuals, the quality people need to build their own future, and face the upcoming challenges boldly. What we should bear in mind is that we don’t live alone, by definition we belong to a society, hence we are sometimes forced us to swim against the tide to overcome some social and mental barriers, it’s a question of having the ability to resist and keep the focus on our idealistic purpose in life without showing any pinch of surrender. Having this stamina will pave the way for building an unbreakable personality.

All in all, building up a strong personality doesn’t occur in a vacuum, indeed, it’s a process contingent on having the ability of stand in the face of all hindrances, being unquenchable  when it comes to knowledge updating, and finally to be one’s own master.

Self-confidence the turning point

It’s no wonder that everyone is looking for something worthy, something that makes the one appear remarkable among people, and most of us want to get ahead and do spectacularly well in life with a complete conviction that our future must be bright. In fact, words are not always enough, and success, even though we have ideas upheld by strong and plain plans, will never come true unless we possess a special quality, it’s the so-called self-confidence.

Self-confidence is a quality that let people believe in themselves, skills and competencies to build their own future, and face the upcoming challenges boldly. Those who possess this value have to be certain that their life will be driven to something special, which will be a major turning point in their life.

We have to bear in mind that any successful project is built not only on having a clear vision, but also on having the capacity to press ahead while you are facing welter of hindrances standing against your own desire for reaching your dreams.

Moreover, being a self-confident person means also to eradicate all kinds of worries that most of people have about future, and what’s so important is to always expect the good to happen. I know you may be going through unpleasant moments, but it doesn’t surprise me, because life is a room where great people are always coping with struggles and is not meant for the lazy to join in this battle.

Self-confidence as a very added value to our life, resides also in the capacity of resisting all kinds of lures and temptation that if anyone followed would be driven to a dark future. Try always to keep yourself away from things that may mar your concentration, whenever you meet the dreams killers, try to listen to yourself, your inner part and say “yes I can do, I am determined and no one in the world is able to prevent me from doing what I want”.

But the question that may raise is, how can we build a self-confident spirit? In fact, there are many paths to follow, for instance, the one will require experience, which is considered an inevitable key, besides, reading is another feature likely to help us in building a self-confident personality.

In addition to what it is already mentioned , keep in mind to never succumb to any strange voices whose aim, is to spoil your ability to bear hard times, believe in your abilities and make any possible efforts to enhance your skills  and acquire new ones. However, avoid to overestimate yourself or to put yourself on airs, on account of thinking you know everything, don’t be a snooty person.

At the end, in life you have two options, whether to trust your skills and keep pressing ahead or to relinquish to your surroundings. A self-confident person will never raise a white flag, but the one who will always keep mingling with the wise voices.
