Are we born with these traits, can it be

garnered?

Is it an acquired skill set, does the emotional

quotient of a person affect it? Or the social

interactions can mould it?

All these questions lead to a very important

topic which is ‘Personality development’.

Improving one’s personality is definitely

possible. Good personality empowers us,
provides self-consciousness, builds confidence,

enables decision making, appreciating the

value of choices rather than chances.

Students must not confuse personality with

fame. All great personalities need not be

famous yet they will be great human

beings, helping themselves and others around

them. Realising one’s potential and being in

peace with one’s inner self may sound very

philosophical, on the contrary great

personalities strive in that direction only.

Therefore, coming back to the same question:

‘Is personality development possible?’
