Every individual has his own characteristic way of behaving, responding to emotions, perceiving things and looking at the world. No two individuals are similar.
There has never been anybody like you in the history of the universe, and for the infinite time to come, there can be no one like you. Soft skill and life skill classes help people identify their skills, potential, and interest instead of copying others. They can determine their uniqueness and enjoy their uniqueness.
You are original.
You are rare.
You are unique.
Celebrate your uniqueness.
Concept of Personality from Kathopnishad
Kathopnishad explains personality in a very excellent way. It resembles with Chariot (Rath). Chariot is the body; Five horses are five senses, Reign is Manas, Charioteer is Intellect and master is sitting in a chariot.
If horses are well trained, the charioteer is awakened, Rein also under control, but chariot is not in good condition. Do you think that that chariot can reach the destination?
No. Not at all possible.
If Chariot is in good condition, the charioteer is awakened, Rein also under control, but horses are not trained do you feel that chariot will reach its destination?
No. Not Possible
If Chariot is in good condition, horses are trained, Rein also under control, but charioteer is sleeping do you feel that chariot will reach its destination?
No. Not Possible
If Chariot is in good condition, horses are trained, the charioteer is awakened, but rein is not under control do you feel that chariot will reach its destination?
No. Not Possible
Same thing applicable to us also.
If Five senses are under control, Mind in control, Intellect also awaken, but the body is not in good condition. We cannot achieve our goal of life.
If the body is in good condition, Mind is under control, Intellect also awakens, but senses are not under control. We cannot achieve our goal of life.
If the body is in good condition, Intellect also awaken, five senses are under control, but the mind is not under control, We cannot achieve our goal of life.
If the body is in good condition, five senses are under control, mind is under control, but Intellect is in dormant, We cannot achieve our goal of life.
Conclusion: Congruency is needed in body, mind, senses, and intellect to achieve the goal of life
Self-control—or the ability to manage one's impulses, emotions, and behaviors to achieve long-term goals—is what separates humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. Self-control is primarily rooted in the prefrontal cortex—the planning, problem-solving, and decision making center of the brain—which is significantly larger in humans than in other mammals.
The richness of nerve connections in the prefrontal cortex enables people to plan, evaluate alternative actions, and ideally avoid doing things they'll later regret, rather than immediately respond to every impulse as it arises.
What is the marshmallow test?
In the early 1970s, psychologist Walter Mischel conducted what is now known as the marshmallow test; he found that children who, left alone in a room with a plate containing a marshmallow, were able to resist eating the candy in order to be rewarded with two in the future, later showed numerous positive life outcomes. Notably, these children and fewer behavioral problems and better grades than did those who were unable to delay gratification in the test.
How to Regulate Your Behavior
Researchers have found that people who have better self-control tend to be healthier and happier, both in the short-term and long-term.
Whether the temptation is drugs, food, or scrolling through Twitter instead of working, everyone has domains of life in which they wish they could exercise a little more willpower. How can an individual build this critical skill? Recent research points to the use of rewards, routines, and mindfulness practices as possible ways to establish better habits and regulate behavior over the long-term.
