 SOME HUMAN SKILLS 

   EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS

Evaluation and Analysis are mutually inclusive and influential parameters which help us in the process of judgement. Judgement is an all-important ability to determine right, wrong, good, bad, moral or immoral of our decision making.  So long as these criteria are objectively assessed, our steps would be in the right direction. 

Essentially, judgement or the error of it arises from the conflict between ‘right conviction’ and ‘personal convenience’. Obviously, treading to safety depends on objective evaluation of the components of an issue.  On items of day-to-day functioning also, analysis, evaluation and judgement come into play.

The limitation to this exercise is the urgency with which one has to draw a conclusion. On such occasions, indecisive minds prefer to sail with popular opinion instead of specific assessment. So, despite the apparent simplicity in leading our life, intricacies of mind-games silently control our decisions. 

Before a judgment is made, evaluation precedes, governed by analysis. To analyze, one has to understand the implications as a product of time- the present and the future. Implications may not be predictable on every issue. Despite this intricacy, judgment has to be exercised to stay safe and free of embarrassment by commitment.  

The Indian custom of pursuing a line by saying ‘Leave it to God’ looks less cumbersome. In all such instances, the persons adopt a course innocuous and well –meaning, without giving in to the temptation of immediate advantage.

 Since, the process has not been ‘contaminated’ by greed or design the person does not hurry to achieve the end. At least, [s]he enjoys the peace of mind essential for healthy living. Therefore, good decision-making comes to our rescue. None can escape the moments of decision-making. Doing it or leaving it to God is also a decision – making!

DERIVATIVES-

PERSONALITY                                             [

Personality is a complex assemblage. 

It begins with the ‘looks’ of the person; but goes far beyond the physical realm into those of mind, brain, intellect, compassion and composure. Being so, how well a personality is understood or recognized owe themselves to the persons assessing the personality. Perhaps, how does the person appeal to a wide spectrum of people is construed as that individual’s personality. 

As is in any ‘subjective’ issue, ‘personality’ too remains an item of preference. Yet, there are venues and avenues which profess of ‘personality development’. Obviously, certain criteria govern the ‘acceptability’ of a personality. Much relates to aspects of disposition by which ‘interactions’ are carried out.

Personality development can be more a pruning event rather than of ‘development’. A large measure of one’s personality is ‘in-born’; so only a few items may be added to strengthen it. Transformations cannot be aimed at to bring forth radical changes. Personality is partly inherited and some peripherals may be derived by social interaction, education and tasteful preference of the individual.

 In short, it is the way a person practises aspects of interaction by listening, interaction and responses revealed on occasions.. That it could be ‘developed’ is somewhat beyond easy approach. However, niceties can be added to the aspects of interaction. 

Stated in simple terms, some approaches can be cultivated to improve the totality of one’s personality. Any way it calls for a precise assessment of the aspects which require attention. Personality development is not a step of training; it is rather a process of practising by cultivation. Briefly , a high degree of consistency of deep commitment helps in developing wide acceptance of 'personality'. So, persons and personality are exclusive features to individuals.
