Day 1 : Describe Personality
#Day1 #WritingChallenge
Once I have heard from the movie I watched, that personality is something that sticks to a particular person over period that would not change over time, no matter what the conditions are. At first I believed this (because it sounds like it has a strong basis of great philosophical value), but is that true?
Well, in fact the latest study tracked personality changes over five decades, and the results suggest that while certain personality elements remain stable over time, others change in distinct ways. In other words, personality is both relatively stable and changeable, and the degree of change is specific to each person. (Source: Forbes - Can Personality Change?)
Reading that while looking back at myself 15 years ago, when I was in high school, all I can see is a humble girl of me, a sincere giver, yet with a low-key personality, not to mention whenever my friends asked for help, I’d definitely help if I could. Besides I have adhesive ambition inside that brings me to be a high achiever, deep down I resemble a tough trainer who has tacit standard to be implemented in any goals I need to achieve. I often keep pushing myself harder. Looking at myself today, I can say this kind of personality is stable over time.
On the other hand, I have another side that shifts gradually, at least for this 8 years. I still remember how melancholic I was in uni life (like crying over bad score in Calculus subject with my other mellow fellow XD), sometimes moody, clingy and extremely needy & possessive to my closest (lol) and somehow I have insecurity buried inside of me, that in a certain level it might occurred, also it's not a rare thing if I apt questioning myself ‘Can I do this? Am I sure I can handle this greatly?’
I thank God. He always trains me in such a way that makes me better and better everyday. One way is linking my path to the great persons that becomes a mentor in life that I’ve always looked up to.
I can see myself today laughing of my old-day that unused mellow repercussions, moody, clingy, needy, possessive, and insecure. However I forgive that fool of young me :) The process I’ve gone through is not easy if I might say. Bruises I have had from previous days has made me who I am today,
The key is how we can work on our weakness. Period.
