About half of your personality traits are inherited and you cannot change them. The other half has derived from prior experiences or learned traits.

I would recommend first finding out about your strengths. Sometimes we are not aware of our strengths until someone points them out to us. The best way to do this is to take a small quiz and determine your type and review the details. This can be done by attaining a book called "Please Understand Me II". The author is David West Keirsey. You don’t have to read the entire book. Take the Quiz, Find your Type, and finally read your type. For instance my Type is “ISTJ” which stands for “Introvert, Sensor, Thinker, and Judger. The book will put the 4 types together to come up with a description that details your personality. Most of the detail will sound familiar while a couple of the details you will not agree with. To find out more about your type read the entire book.

Second I would recommend reading material by Stephan R. Covey. He has a way of teaching people how to get results. If time management is an issue start with his book called "First Things First". Then move on to the next book call "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" and finally "The 8th Habit". I have all three books and I will seek the advice it provides every now and then.

If you're serious about the question you presented you will take the time to read the info. Take your time with reading the material. This is not something you can change over night. You may be able to find the info in your local library.

I'm sure there are other avenues to develop your personality. However, I believe this would be the most direct.

I agree with WIZEBLOKE 100%. The more you read (experience) the more you will learn. Remember this, read small sections at a time so you can think about how the information can be of benefit to you. You know your own pace. Just don't try to over acheive right away.


Good Luck,

Surround yourself with people that are impressive in the way you want to be. This is hard to do in the flesh, but books get into the minds of impressive motivational authors and you can share time with them that way.

Try book stores with Self Help sections. By reading even just a few pages a day, you can develope your way of seeing opportunities where others only see problems.

Some timeless books include:
"Power of Positve Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peele
"Leadership" by Rudolph Giuliani (Mayor of NY during 9/11)
"How to Win Friends and Influence People" Dale Carnigie

...by nurturing your inner strength.
This involves finding out how to best cope with hardship. Inner strength is what is developed when you dont allow yourself to be defeated, but rather see it as an opportunity to start afresh, knowing that you won't make the same mistakes you did before, but can try from a different angle. Even this angle might not be the right one, but finding out, is one step closer to a stronger you.
The other thing, which has helped strengthen my endurance capabilities is to constantly involve myself with volunteer work, and helping others as and when i can, just because...
Helping others feeds the inner self in a way which nothing else can, not money, status, power....nothing but love.
When one helps others you learn to appreciate the value of unity and working together, and in so doing, you also learn new skills and it shows a certain inner quality which most people read as a loving heart. its a surefire way to gain respect, and to exert some form of control over your reputation.
It takes strength to cry, and to love and to care. Its easier to do the opposite.
I hope when you would like to make your personality "stronger" that this which i speak of, is the same sort of "strength" you are referring to. True strength lies not in the physical, it comes from within. Nothing can stop you from getting what you want out of life if you calmly contemplate what it is that is most admirable and honourable to achieve. Then set about quietly and unswervingly, in an unstoppable determination to get just that. Sometimes our maps of the world has to change, to fit in with changes in our lives, but wherever your heart takes you, let it be a heart strengthened by love and care.
Lastly, you might not know this, but Mother Theresa, as famous as she was for helping the poorest of the poor in Calcutta, and as famous as she was for being a role model and a nun, having devoted all her life to God, and help the poor, she was born of Albanian parents. Most people in western countries frown on Albanian's...if she had to sit back, bite her nails in fear of what others think...imagine how different her life story would've been?

Believe in the power of the mind. lf you think and feel that you are a gifted person oozing with talent, then it will come true. Say this mantra thrice a day and really concentrate when you visualize yourself as you want to be. We are what we think of ourself. Good luck.:)

Learn to say NO. Examine all the things you like about yourself and concentrate on them. Don't be so worried about other peoples opinions and make sure you voice yours when required.

Know what you (yes, YOU) want. Then, speak up and act up focusing and reaching that you want. Don't try to be popular but forgo your want. Stay firm but not arrogant or brash. This requires self confidence and self respect.

Good luck.

You don't say how old you are - sometimes knowing what you want stems from finding out what you don't want - and that takes time - don't worry about it - and don't listen to anyone else who worries about what you want - it really isn't any of their business!
