    In today's world a lot of stress is given on personality development. some essential qualities for personality development are

    1. Faith in oneself : Swami vivekananda held faith in one's potential divinity as the sheet anchor of personality development. Faith in god came next only to faith in oneself. If one believes that one's real nature is the spirit and not the body or the mind - one would be a better individual with strong character.

    2. Think positive thoughts: positive and wholesome thoughts based on our inherent divinity are essential for a strong character. Go on doing good thinking only holy thoughts continuously hat is the only way to suppress base impressions ... Character is repeated habits and repeated habits alone can reform a character. The only sin is to think of oneself and others as weak.

    3. Attitude towards Failures and mistakes: One should always uphold the ideal virtues even if a person failed a thousand times. One should make mistakes and learn from them rather than leading an inert existence.

    4.We are the maker of our destiny: We are responsible for what we are , and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves

    5.Renunciation and service: Selfless service is a paramount means to character development. This coupled with renunciation of selfishness and desire for the fruits of action is the twin ideal and it will lead to one self development

    In the words of Swami vivekananda:- Teach yourself and each others their real nature, call upon the sleeping soul and see how it awakes. power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come and everything that is excellent will come when this sleeping soul is aroused to self consciousness activity.
