APPEARANCE





Looks matter a lot in many situations. If you look good, you feel good. Every person wants to look his best. Physical appearance does affect your overall personality. Those who are fortunate to be born beautiful or handsome have an edge over others in their public dealings. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Appearance counts all the time – from the job application, interviews, meetings and appointments, right through to every day on the job. Don’t forget - you represent your company, and your image is that company’s essence. Your employer’s goal is to have employees project a favourable image; your goal is to represent the employer and yourself in a favourable way. Your first impression may influence how people will react to the way you look and present yourself in the beginning, even if you look and act differently later on. The way you look and act at work is critical to your success on the job. Everyday I make sure my appearance is well kept. I also make sure that I dress professionally on my job.

Leadership is having the ability to lead a group of people. When you are a leader, you are willing to take on responsibilities for your actions and the other people under you. A leader have to learn to keeep their feelings inside. They have to know how to control themselves without lashing out at others. A great leader praise there workers when they have done a job well done. A way I can show leadership skills is to provide leadership by taking actions that would help the group complete its task and by helping the group members maintain good working relationships.

Self-Esteem

Self esteem is your opinion of yourself. High self esteem is a good opinion of yourself and low self esteem is a bad opinion of yourself. Self esteem is crucial and is a cornerstone of a positive attitude towards living. It is very important because it affects how you think, act and even how you relate to other people. It allows you to live life to your potential. Low self esteem means poor confidence and that also causes negative thoughts which means that you are likely to give up easily rather than face challenges. In addition, it has a direct bearing on your happiness and wellbeing. I feel that you should feel good about yourself before others feel good about you. It is best to have good self-esteem on your job, school, and everywhere. This will carry you a long way in life. So take a little time and look in the mirror and feel good about yourself.
