Research Indicates That Characteristics We Are Born With Have More Influence On Our Personality And Development Than Any Experience We May Have In Our Life. Which Do You Consider To Be The Major Influence?
Some habits and instincts
are influenced by intitutive traits and others are actually accumulated
over the years. However, what impacts personalities: is it with which one arrived in the world, or what is learnt while interacting with surroundings, is a matter worthy of profound analysis.
A school of thought priorities inborn qualities, and suggest that it is these that guide individuals throughout their life. It has been often experienced that handling the
problems and situations is quite easy for some in comparison to others
even though they are living and working under similar conditions and
situations. Take an instance of students in a class where some perform
excellently, whereas some fail to go beyond average performance though all of them
have access to similar resources and teaching.
Besides natural instincts, the major influencing factors that often create a distinction are the capability and ability. Some can
easily pick up certain traits, while some have difficulty, or complete
inability like a musician and a listener. A musician was born with capability
to learn music while a listener can only enjoy it and is not capable of picking
up notes.
Nevertheless, some often lay greater emphasis on experiences accumulated in practical life. As
per their aspirations, every child is born with only basic instincts and rest
of the personal attitude and tastes are fostered by them in the social
surroundings. One learns and cultivates habits based on past exposure and
outcomes, and behave accordingly.
Overall, natural instincts
have an enduring impact on the persona and the seasoning received only supplments those traits, helping strengthen the approach and innate qualities.
