What is Personality?
The "personality" is the typical pattern of thinking, feeling, and behaviors that make a person unique. When we say that someone has a "good personality" we mean that they are likeable, interesting and pleasant to be with.
Everyone wants to be attractive to others. To that end, having a good personality is vital - probably even more so than good looks. While we can only enhance our looks to a certain extent, we have the ability to improve the personality as much as we want. We can develop or integrate any trait we deem fitting and agreeable.
Here are some Tips to improve our Personality :
1.Be a better listener. There is nothing more appealing than having someone listen to you intently making you feel like you're the only person in the world.
2.Read more and expand your interests. The more you read and cultivate new interests, the more interesting you are to others. When you meet new people it gives you the opportunity to share what you know and to exchange your views with them.
3.Be a good conversationalist. This relates to how much you read and know. Once you have much to contribute, learn how to talk about it with others.
4.Have an Opinion. There is nothing more tiresome than trying to talk to someone who has no opinion on anything. A conversation has nowhere to go if you have nothing to expound on.
5.Meet New People. Make the effort to meet new people especially those unlike you. It not only exposes you to different cultures and alternative ways of doing things, it broadens your horizons.
6.Be yourself. The next most tiresome thing after having no opinions is trying to be something you're not. Molding yourself in order to fit in, or be accepted, usually backfires. Since each of us is unique, expressing that uniqueness is what makes us interesting.
7.Have a positive outlook and attitude. Who wants to be around people who are negative, complain a lot, or have nothing good to say? In fact, most of us run when we see them coming. Instead, be the kind of upbeat person who lights up a room with your energy when you enter it.
8.Be fun and see the humorous side of life.Everyone enjoys the company of someone who makes them laugh, or smile, so look for the humorous, quirky side in a situation - there always is one. Comic relief is a much welcome and needed diversion at times.
9.Be supportive of others. Being supportive is probably the most endearing quality you can integrate into your personality. Just as you yourself welcome it, be the support for others when they need it. We all love a cheerleader in our corner; someone who is encouraging, believes in us and helps pick us up when we're down.
10.Have Integrity and treat people with respect. Being honest and true to your word will bring you the admiration, respect and gratitude of others. Nothing improves a person's personality more than integrity and respect - respect for others, as well as respect for yourself.
We humans have the power and ability to shape our personalities however we wish. When we develop ourselves to be all that we can be, we contribute to our own, as well as the happiness of others.

Hi
Appreciate the sharing. The second point of reading more is perhaps one that many of those going through this post must focus on, so that they enhance their knowledge and expand their vision. The sixth point of being yourself is also a challenge since, we tend to get influenced by those around, particularly those who have an undue influence on us.
I would like to add one more point and that is be open to feedback, especially negative feedback. If there is merit in the feedback (you have to be honest about your assessment of the feedback), learn from it and take corrective action. If the feedback is not valid, just ignore it and don't let it affect you.

Hi all,
Very good thread.
Consistency in all the attributes mentioned above comes,if they are cultivated as a habit.
That is essential to retain the image as a good personality.
Any thoughts on this opinion .....
