Beauty or the right temperament - what matters for success in life?

 


Outer appearances are sometimes deceptive; hence it is important to understand the concept of beauty and its significance. Many people are beautiful due to the genes passed on to them by their parents and forefathers. Their inherited beauty is a gift to them at the time of birth with no contribution from them in achieving that, however many a time because of their attractive personality and pleasant looks, they would be benefitted either in their workplace or in general.



It is human nature to get enticed and attracted by the outward beauty and good looks of a person. It is commonly preached in educational institutes that no one should discriminate on the basis of outer appearance and it should not overshadow the actual ability of a person, but this remains in principle and is not followed in reality. As they say – “Never judge a book by its cover” but there is a higher percentage of the human society who is theoretically agreeing with this statement but practically miles away from this ideology.



The psychology of mind and temperament can make or break the overall personality of an individual resulting in growth and acceptance in society. Having extremely good looks but an unruly way of expressing thoughts and emotions in a loud, harsh, impolite manner could create a sense of unacceptance or repulsive behaviour from the listener and later lead to vast drifts between the communicators (speaker and the listener). In general, people would not take it positively and silently start drifting away and parting ways from such beautiful but obnoxious individuals. The tone and manner of communication matter a lot along with a decent, kind and compassionate tone and gestures. Temperament and behaviour should be relaxed and progressive instead of unruly and regressive. Time and again we have seen beauty brings with it a certain arrogance which can make the person a narcissist and instead of attracting a large number of people they become isolated and alone.  



People who are successful in life are sincere, humble, down to earth, and mostly attached to their roots. Only gorgeous looks cannot make us touch the skies and reach the zenith, but along with that if the thoughts are lovely and with deep meaning – it can create a unique positive spirit and aura in the individual’s persona. Everyone can learn from the life of people who are successful and have created a niche for themselves in this crowded world with their skills, innovative ideas and being different. We can make amendments to our skill set,  temperament, and disposition. If you believe that every phase of life could be utilized in enhancing and sharpening our thoughts, then introspect yourself and try to inculcate the good values in yourself that you desire to see in others. The temperament of a person should be a positive one if one wishes to be respected in the sphere where you work in. We should observe and understand the behaviour of people around us and take cues on what is appropriate and try to improve ourselves to be a better version. In an effort to keep improving, it is important to be a good listener and understand the real meaning of what people say. It is said that “If speaking is silver, listening is golden”. Temperament showcases the inner beauty of an individual and makes it shine and glitter like a diamond which is appreciated by everyone.


They also say that do not call a spade a spade. Be polite and express your contradictory views about any situation in a diplomatic way in such a way that you are not offending anyone’s emotions.  These days everyone wants to be praised. The world is such that if anyone posts a picture or any information on social media, they are keen for likes and hearts. But no one would accept anything against it nor the dislikes or any other emoji that can hurt their emotions. So, the crux of the topic is to have an inner beauty that will be paired with a balanced mindset and optimistic behaviour in turn enhancing the outer beauty too with a radiance and glow of confidence as well as a behaviour that is respectful towards others.
