Sparkling Personality

Here are some tips which are easy to follow but will go a long way in the development of your personality.

• Always be kind and considerate. Be genuinely interested in people. Love begets love, interest begets interest, and nothing in the world is harder to give away than kindness. It always comes back to you.

• Be well informed so that you can talk intelligently with people. Read, learn, be alert. Cultivate good manners, proper speech and voice. Tact, the ability to say or do the right thing, is the most important.

• Widen your circle of friends. Do not be snob. If you are lucky tot belong to a nice group of young people, look around for someone else who is not so lucky and help him/her be “in” with the group.

• Some people have mistaken notions about popularity and making impressions on people. Do not forget that conversation must be two-sided. You will make a good impression by being a good listener. Take part but do not dominate.

• Another tip is to guard your health. Observe the daily health habits, like brushing your teeth regularly, taking daily baths and keeping your face and hands clean. Eat enough food of the right kind. Keep regular hours. Exercise indoors and out. Avoid smoking and alcohol. Cultivate a correct and graceful posture. For physical handicaps, get a professional help.

• Develop your sense of humor. Learn to smile. It has been said that a smile costs nothing but wins everything. A smile also “increases your face value.”

• Select clothes that fit your personality, your age, the weather, the occasion and your pocketbook. Clothes for school years should be simple and comfortable. To enhance your grooming, wear shows and clothes with matching colors. Your shows should always be well-polished and in good condition.

• The weather is a factor to consider in choosing clothes. During hot days, wear cool colors and somewhat light materials. During rainy days, warm colors may take out the depressed feelings caused by the bad weather.

• Always remember, to be attractive, consider your health and grooming.

• Having a well-groomed appearance will obtain for you the respect and admiration of people. “Clothes make man or a woman,” many people believe. This does not mean you have to wear expensive designer’s clothes but basically it means that they are neat; they fit the occasion and they become you.

• Thus to develop a personality that glows and sparkles, the most important ingredients are health, good grooming, interest, friendliness, kindness and love for people.
