THE WAYS TO HAVE A STRONG PERSONALITY


1. It would be wise if I choose a friend who would be able to help me in solving my personal problems.

2. If I know that other people are questioning my personality, then I would have to evaluate their purpose very well.

3. If I hear other people saying very nice things about me, then it would be hard for me to believe in their sincerity.

4. I do not talk much when I am with others. My principle is the old saying ‘’Do not talk much so that the people around would think that you are something’’. I fear from saying things which are wrong and which make people laugh.

5. Even if I know that I have not been successful in life, I’ll try to cover up this weakness and try to bring my life energy to higher levels. This is the best method  in covering up the weak points.

6. I think that my behaviour and feelings towards the others are appropriate.

7. I always think that I must be strong enough against the criticisms of others.

8. If the voice deep inside me says that I am not  happy with the things that I am doing, then I accept the fact that it is necessary to make a self criticism.

9. There is never a place in my life for  the inferiority complex.

10. I cannot think that I am not  being active because of others and  accuse them as the obstacles for my success.

11. I find it unnecessary  to have the habit of showing off.

12. The thought that the people around would misunderstand me, have a wrong knowledge about me does not disturb me.  Also, I would not be spending any effort to make them have  positive thoughts about me.

13. I must never loose my self respect and I must be feeling secure all the time.

14. I do not want  to be disillusioned  after other people  understand what I really am.

15. I think that being transparent is a very important factor in making oneself known by the others.

16. Even if I know that the life in a society is made up through personal relations, I do not want to have many people around me.

17. I must be very careful  in choosing the people whom I communicate with.

18. I must be different than  puppets on  strings that are being  moved by the strings and have the capacity of  thinking by my own free will.

19. In many cases the peaceful people leave the events to their natural flow without making them grow bigger.

20. Strong people never hesitate in telling the truth even if they know that they are going to loose and that they are going to be in trouble. Leaning back and watching what is happenning is not something that a person of  a strong personality would do.

21. The concept of Allah is not the result of  the touch with a magical stick, but the work of the conscious.

22. If  there  is not any continuity in something, then it is useless to wait for success. You should be aware that succes comes through patience, time and effort.

23. Do not have the habit of visiting someone who would be sulking after you have left.

24. It is not wise to get carried away with the thought that people can make healthy decisions amidst complex feelings, violence, dust and smoke.

24. I never  hesitate to adopt a  way of  thinking which is not in conformity with the thoughts of others..
