Teaching by World's Greatest Gurus |
The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as
the deed; The deed develops into
habit; And habit hardens into
character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it
spring from love born out of concern for all beings.

Your Character Ethic and
Personality Ethic
The elements of Personality Ethic, such as communication
skills, influence strategies, and positive thinking, are essential for
success, but these are secondary, not primary traits. "You can pick up
quick, easy techniques that may work in short-term situations. But secondary
traits alone have no permanent worth in long-term relationships. Eventually,
if there isn't deep integrity and fundamental character strength, the
challenges of life will cause true motives to surface and human
relationships failure will replace short-term success1".
Only basic goodness gives life to techniques. To achieve
great results, focus first on yourself - your deepest motives and
perceptions - and then on your techniques.
There are two main paths of the Personality Ethic:
-
Human and public relations techniques (e.g.
communication skills; influence
strategies)
-
Positive Mental Attitude (PMA)
