What is Personality Development? Tips for Personality Development

 “You don’t overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making yourself bigger.” John C. Maxwell.

Here, he is trying to explain the whole concept of personality development by this single line. By saying this, he wants to say that developing your personality is a step to your success, you can not reach it by collecting ego or by making others feel low.

Personality is the most important aspect of your life. It determines how you react to different situations and it also helps in deciding your career path. Your personality also determines how others treat you and can make or break relationships with people around you.

Personality development is like fine art, where one needs to be skilled to gain desired results. This art can only be mastered by following certain steps which help in shaping up an individual's behaviour and building a positive attitude towards life.

The most important aspect of personality development is positive thinking. Thinking positively is an important part of leading a productive, successful life. Sounds easy but it is not that easy. 

The human brain has evolved to instinctively focus on the negative and dangerous aspects of our world -- this is all thanks to the amygdala, a small almond-shaped section of your brain responsible for your most basic survival instincts.

Probably there are two parts of your amygdala:

•  one focused solely on threats and danger, and 
• another that manages positive emotions. 

For people who wish to create a good impression and feel the change, thinking positively is essential. Such thoughts kill negative thoughts and promote healthy ideas.

There are some inherent problems in the practice of personality development.

•  The first problem is that we often incorrectly equate personality development with personal growth and maturity. Personality is a relatively fixed set of individual characteristics, while personal growth and maturity depend on an individual's ability to change and adapt to new situations. 

• The second problem is that we often fail to distinguish between global personality traits and specific character traits.

Our personality develops as we age. This process occurs over time and is influenced by many factors, including our genetics, our family upbringing, and the environment around us. 

While are preparing to develop your personality, you need to keep some characteristics in mind, such as- 

1.  Free Mind & Spirit 
2.  Positive Thinking 
3. Importance of Ethics 
4.  Flexibility
5.  Honesty.

 These five characteristics will lead you to your final goal. All you need to do is to follow them consistently. Consistency is the key to the door to success. 

In conclusion, personality development is the key to success in life. With the right attitude and a positive outlook on life, you can achieve anything in this world.

The psychology of money

Hi guys!

Welcome to the new blog and a new day. Thus the blog is a review of one of my favorite books, The Psychology of Money. 

I wanted to do a review of this book for the last few months but was caught up with academic and other work. Sad ya! Anyways back to the topic.

Psychology of Money is my favourite book and I will recommend all the readers to read this book. It will teach you to become Wealthy. 

It will help you manage and grow your finances. 

Some of my favorite tips that this book taught me are- 

1. Time and Money- 

Money is important but time is much more important than money. You can earn loose money but the the invention of the time machine is impossible in the current tech world. 

I mean you cannot bring the lost time back.

 

So, Can You earn money without spending time or spending minimum time?

You should know your value and then decide on the work. 

Ex. If you are doing graduation and someone is paying you Rs.1000/month for 4 hrs/day work, should you accept?

 

Remember, never overestimate yourself. No one is going to spend on it if you do not have any skills.

You may work on your skills. Skillshare is one of the best platforms for learning new skills. A small investment will help you to get good returns.

2. Motive 

Know yourself. If you want to earn, just be clear about the motive of your life. 

Do you want to flex your belonging or do you want to make yourself wealthy?

Remember not to be a miser else you will miss people from your arc.

You can follow this table to manage your finances. 

Explanation 

Before your 30s (before marriage) invest more in stock, insurance, and mutual fund. Save for your wants. Make expenses on your need. 

After your 30s(when you have a wife and children), your need will increase which will decrease your wants and investment.

After 65 (retirement), you may redeem almost all of the insurance and investment. You might not have any source of income but will have a good amount of money to live your life.

3.  Use the money to save time 

Like I have told you earlier time is more important than money. 

Use your money to save time. Always keep in mind to minimize expenses and increase income. If you think you can do the work yourself, then go with your choice.

4. Know what is enough 

This is something you must know. Before even starting earning you should know your wants. Many people say that want is never-ending. But this statement is wrong. I can prove it too. Take a pen and paper and write the things that you need. 

Besides that write the name of the money that is required to buy that thing. 

When I did this exercise, I got to know that just need Rs. 43 Crores ($7M) to fulfill all my dreams. 

6. Factor of Luck 

Never leave luck. Luck may be an external factor. Luck is a probability game. To increase the probability you have to take any chances.

Ex- In the game of Ludo. The more chances you will take, the more will be the more probability of getting six. 

In short, Try ten things and one might work out of them. 

7. Never earn respect 

I believe that respect is a permissible good. You may work hard to earn respect but one small mistake can mess up all your respect.

 That's why never waste your money and energy in earning respect. 

 

8. Money-Needs-wants relationship 

As your income increases, your wants will start converting into needs. Which will result in growing more wants. 

You should reduce wants and increase needs. 

With this, I will end the blog. Comment down your learning and conclusion.

Elon Musk: The boom story Chapter 2

Elon Musk!!

Did something click in your mind?

Paypal? Space X? Tesla? Or maybe zip2?

But are you aware of his actual journey?

I guess many of you don't. Here are many lessons which you will learn from his journey. 

I have underlined the important points to make your reading easy. You might skip the boring part and shift to the next subhead.

Do you know about his origin, his childhood life, education, or how he started his business and reached such heights!!?

But Voila!!

All you need is to read this blog and at the end, you'll be able to answer all my questions.

Early Age

Born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa, Musk was always lost in his innovative daydreams.

At an early age, Musk developed an interest in computers. He taught himself how to program, and at the age of 12, he sold his first software: a game he created called Blaster. 

In his school time, Musk was short, introverted, and a bookish student. In an interview, he talked about his incredible superpower to remember anything he reads. 

Early Life: Family

His mother, Maye Musk, is a Canadian model and the oldest woman to star in a Covergirl campaign. When Musk was growing up, she worked five jobs at one point to support her family.

His father, Errol Musk, is a wealthy South African engineer. 

His father was a divorcee. 

Education 

At the age of 17, in 1989, Musk moved to Canada to attend Queen’s University and he obtained his Canadian citizenship that year.

He is one of the most educative and psycho-reader personalities. Yes, today he is the richest person alive on Earth (maybe Mars also after a few years😂).

 But it was always not the same. There was a time when he didn't even have a single dollar to spend. He does not have a house to live in. 

Let us take a deep dive into the Business life of Elon Musk and try to understand the business behind this man.
 

In 1992, Musk left Canada to study business and physics at the University of Pennsylvania. He graduated with an undergraduate degree in economics and stayed for a second bachelor’s degree in physics.

After leaving Penn, Musk attended the Stanford University of California to pursue a Ph.D. in energy physics. He foresees the future and has his first move. He timed perfectly with the Internet boom and dropped out of Stanford.

Elon Musk: Business and failure 

After just two days to become a part of it, launching his first company, Zip2 Corporation in 1995. Musk became a U.S. citizen in 2002. 

He hired a few people. They were older than him. Later on, they removed Musk from his own company and gave him a few shares. 

 

After selling his equity from Zip2 and Paypal, he was the owner of $ 100 million. 

After leaving the thought of investing in solar power. He also invested in the space business. The company is well known to all of us, SpaceX and Tesla. 

Tesla was not doing good at that time and SpaceX also was a failure. In a recent interview with a news channel he said that the worst time in his life was when Neil Armstrong, his inspiration said that Mars's dream was just a childish thought. 

Reminding of Musk's company. Both of Musk's companies were suffering from loss and insolvency. He decided to invest all of his money and personal belongings in the companies. For months he slept on the floor of the factory, and he sold his house too.

 2008 was the worst year for the American Economy and Elon Musk. The great depression for the US 3 rocket failures and Tesla car failure gives a setback to a 37-year-old man. 

He was left with minimum resources. Still, he gave a try to the Rocket. After the hard work of 3 months, he made another rocket with his team. He believes that a company is like a child. You need to feed it even if it ruins you. 

It was a success. SpaceX was successful in reaching the Mars orbit. 

Elon Musk believes that the vision of the future drives him to do and accomplish goals. Giving up should be the last choice. 

 

Conclusion 

The conclusion that I desperately wanted to share is, to remove your social media connection and improve your connection with ideas, hope, and enthusiasm keeping circumstances negative. 

 We focus on, the results rather than looking upon the struggles and learning from them. This is why we're not in his place!

4. Do I have economically, technologically and practically feasible skills and knowledge to achieve what I want?

5. Are I serious about my goal? 

6. Am I honest about My goals?

If the answer to the last 3 questions (4, 5, 6) is 'No', then you have to change the route of your movement. You need to review your plans. Change the plans. If the task is important for you, you must find an interesting way to do it. 

Ex:- For me, doing the assignments is quite a tough task. I try to make it a little bit interesting by listening to music.
