PERSONALITY

• derived from Latin words, per & sonare which means “to sound through”. The word
person came from these two words meaning “an actor’s mask” through which the sound of
the voice was projected.
• the embodiment of feelings & behavior which makes man the unique person that he is.
• the way an individual is interrelated through his ideas , actions & attitudes with the many
nonhuman aspects of his environment & his biological heritage
Components of Personality
1. Habits
- are routines of behavior that are repeated regularly and tend to occur subconsciously,
without one being conscious about them; an acquired pattern of behavior that often
occurs automatically
2. Attitudes
- A mental position with regard to a fact or state.
- Reflect a tendency to classify objects and events and to react to them with some
consistency.

4. Values
- Things that really matter to each of us ... the ideas and beliefs we hold as special.

Most of us learned our values - or morals, - at home, church or synagogue, school; maybe
from parents, teachers and religious leaders. Young people today are most influenced by
what they see and hear on television or on the street.

Five (5) Steps to Personal Growth and Development
1. Know yourself
This is the first and possibly the most difficult step. What are you good at? What are your
weaknesses? What are those areas of your life that are really holding you back from living
the life of your dreams?
2. Set your goals
Setting a goal and working toward it every day can give you renewed confidence and
passion for life. What is it that you really want in life?
3. Create a plan
Personal growth and development is a life-long journey, and like any journey, you’ll want to
create a plan to help you get to your destination.
4. Get better every day
The power of habit is pretty crazy. Your habits create your life.

5. Get out of your comfort zone
Switching up the way in which you learn new information and apply that to a constantly
improving version of yourself is a great way to get exposed to new types of information,
while also building the confidence that you’re able to try new things and make progress
against each.
