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.
