So, how do you define personality?Technically, personality is a set of qualities that makes an individual. Qualities can bebehavioral, temperamental, emotional and intellectual. While many of these traits arecongenital, most are acquired. And, appearance is just a small contribution towardscompleting this package.Character shows on the face. Imagine a lean, thin and a half-dressed man with millions offollowers. He walks with a stick, bare-feet and the world walks with him. He causes arevolution, changes the fate of a nation, takes the world by storm - Yes, I am talking of asuper human being Mahatma Gandhi!How would you rate his appearance? Nothing more than 3-4 on a scale of 10? All he hadwas an immense personality and a profound depth of character. This is what needs to bevalued.If you are good, personality comes naturally.

All you need is tobelieve in what you do, and do it with complete dedication, honesty and love. And, yourefforts will be rewarded. If you are good at something, believe in your talent, don't lookback.Appearances are deceptive. It is a common truth; practically everyone has met at leastsomeone whose character and appearance differ radically.When one sees a tall, broad-shouldered youth, one expects him to be strong-willed andbrave.

It did not stop them from displaying intelligence and courage.Plump or fat people create an impression of generous and kind personalities. Strangelyenough, not rarely they may be thrifty or even greedy. One usually thinks: 'A scrooge!'Nature likes to play tricks on us.
