WAYS OF IMPROVING

PERSONAL ATTITUDE
Personality and Attitude
▣ Every person has a unique personality
that characterizes the totality of being
an individual.

▣ Our personalities may be perceived by


others as good or bad.

▣ You are known to have a good


personality if you have a cheerful
disposition, you appear neat and well-
groomed, and you have a desirable
attitude.
Positive Outlook
Entertain positive thoughts
Having a generally positive outlook in life can also help
develop positive thoughts. Keeping an optimistic mind also
keeps one’s viewpoints positive. When you have set your
goals, always keep telling yourself that you will achieve
them and believe that you will. Trust that you can do the
things you wish to attain, and believe in your capabilities to
manifest them. This includes thinking of positive thoughts,
visualizing them, and materializing those ambitions.
Maintain positive attitude
Keeping a positive attitude is another way to develop a positive
personality. Build your level of courtesy toward others. Show
consideration and respect for them by giving a warm smile,
saying ‘thank you’ to show appreciation, and listening when
someone is talking. These are but just a few of the many ways
to manifest courtesy. Also, be understanding and caring to other
people’s needs. Everyone appreciates and admires a person
who shows genuine understanding. It is a way of keeping good
relationships with other people. Be enthusiastic and show
confidence in whatever you do. Someone who manifests
enthusiasm can easily attain success.

(positive) or tense, nervous, depressed, and insecure (negative).

beliefs, values and expectations.
