This is a well known English proverb and I think that each of us has came across it at least once in life.
Each person has to go through many difficulties during all his life and one can be totally ruined by this difficulties and can also acquire bad features because of these complications, such as: unkindness,hard-heartedness,uncommunicativeness,haughtiness,cruelness and so on, but another person can become more respected by other people, more hard working more attentive after going through troubles it just depend on the character of a person.
In my opinion, no matter what happens in our life, we should never give up this is just the trait of weak people who can`t fight and be strong emotionally.
As it follows from the proverb after bad comes good and tears can be changed by happiness, we should only be patient and strong enough to go through all our problems and of course there must be people who are close to us in order to support us in hard minutes.
To sum it up, I`d like to say that sometimes we feel mixed feelings like admiration and terror, excitement and anxiety and even love and hate simultaneously. That mean that there are not always pure feelings in our life. Like there`s not always just only good or only evil. You will never understand, for example, what is real joy, if you never feel dispair. We are all human beings and that`s our nature.
8. What are the essential factors that help to mould a person’s character?
To begin with I'd like to say that a character is one thing that is not formed in a night. The character can change during one's life and these changes can be considerable. There are many reasons for character changes and development or degradation. The formation of character begins from the childhood. Family plays significant role in character building First of all, the background and environment are very important. Family, friends and acquaintances can either develop the good or bad treats; and it's very important for parents to show their child a right model of behaviour. If the parents are good-humoured, affable and good-natured, their child will hardly be ill-natured and unkind. The parents should be an example for their child and this example must be adequate. Parents must be attentive and thoughtful if they want their child to have these qualities. Without this personal example children won't follow their parents' advice and asks. Friends are also very important and I must say it's up to the parents to teach the child to choose proper friends. If your child's friends are affable, friendly, modest and sincere your child will try to be like them, cordial and nice. But if the child is in a bad company all your efforts to be an example may be a failure. The child may turn into unsociable, self-willed, rude, cruel and selfish villain. If the child is deprived of parents' love in such case he will probably grow up and will be coarse, dishonest, impudent and insensible. The next important thing is educational possibilities. If a person is interested in learning he will probably be considerate, thoughtful, broad-minded, hard-working and attentive. But if a person was deprived of the possibility to get educated he may turn into tactless, harsh, greedy and intolerant person. To sum it up, Character moulds during all person’s life. A great assistance in a character building is rendered by more skilled people and it’s important to find a worthy example for imitation. Character of the person is formed in interaction with others.
So there are a lot of factors that help to mould a person’s character. We all live in different conditions; have different situations during the life, that’s why we differ much from each other.
9. What are the ways and means by which a person’s character is revealed and estimated?
First of all, people are different. Everyday we meet people whom we like or don’t like. It depends on many factors. To point out the first one I’d like to appeal to the saying: clothes count for first impressions. I agree with it. Because the first thing we look at is appearance. Well-dressed and good-looking person makes an impression of a respectable, intelligent, dignified man.
But sometimes it happens that we are disappointed in people, even if we like their appearance. Here comes another saying: don't judge a book by its cover. Even a man who looks friendly and benevolent may turn out a hostile, dishonest, revengeful and cruel. It may be hard to figure out true nature of a person, but sooner or later you’ll know it.
Person’s behavior is another factor by which his character is revealed and estimated. If one is unable to cope with his feelings we can see that he is fussy and unrestrained. And, on the other hand, if one hides his feelings all the time, or, in other words, is reserved, uncommunicative and unsociable, we suspect him of being deceitful, ill-natured and insensible.
As for me, I prefer to communicate with broad-minded, easy-going, good-humored and enthusiastic people. The most important qualities of person’s character for me are intelligence and individuality. I also greatly appreciate honesty and sincerity. And most of all I hate hypocritical, false and insincere people. They are nothing less than disgusting for me. I can bear tactless, rude or vulgar men, at least they are honest with themselves and people around them. But double-faced people make me sick.
To sum up, I’d like to mention that there is a number of factors by which a person's character is revealed and estimated. You need to remember that first impression plays a key role for further communication. When we meet new people we pay attention to everything: to their appearance, voice, manners and behavior. Later we are getting to know personal qualities, habits and characteristics. But even at that time we cannot be sure whether a person has negative hidden traits. My thoughts upon it can be expressed by another saying: a friend in need is a friend indeed. And the second thing I want you to remember is that there are no perfect people and their character is always a mixture of good and evil features.
10. What is the role played by personal traits of character in choosing a profession?
What role does natural environment play in our life?
The problem of choosing the future profession has always been extremely important. The profession a person chooses determines his future life. For many people choosing a career isn’t an easy task. It is one of the most important decisions one makes in his life. The properly chosen career makes a person happy and successful for the rest of his life.
There are several factors that influence deeply the decision of young people while making their choice. Much depends on the inclinations and interests of the person. Also the profession of parents often has an influence on the future profession of their children in this or that way. And of course personal traits of character play a great role in choosing a profession. It’s necessary to take them into account. For instance, if a person is ILL-NATURED, UNKIND, HARD-HEARTED, HOSTILE, UNSCRUPULOUS, TACTLESS, UNRESTRAINED, DISHONEST, INTOLERANT, INCONSIDERATE, COURSE, INSENSIBLE, FUSSY and CRUEL, he can’t become a good teacher or a good doctor. To my mind teacher should control his or her feelings, not take his or her irritation out on students or pupils. Of course, it’s difficult, because teachers are people and sometimes it’s difficult to cope with feelings. Doctors also should keep their temper and behave calmly and coolly as they deal with people who are in a difficult situation. Now I’d like to give you one more example. To become a journalist, a person should be COMMUNICATIVE, SOCIABLE, PATIENT, BROAD-MINDED, HARD-WORKING, responsible, reliable, CAPABLE and easy to deal with. If you are SULKY, SULLEN, DISPASSIONATE, RESERVED, UNSOCIABLE and UNCOMMUNICATIVE, it will be almost impossible for you TO PRACTISE a profession of journalist.
As far as I’m concerned, I HAVE A MIND TO become an interpreter. I liked English at school very much and wanted to speak English without any difficulties and that’s why I decided to go to our university and study English. But I think it isn’t enough only to have a wish to be an interpreter, some traits of character are also very important. First of all, I believe that an interpreter should be AFFIABLE, COMMUNICATIVE, SOCIABLE, EARNEST, ENTHUSIASTIC, CALM, SELF-POSSESSED, HONEST, JUST, responsible, RESPECTABLE, BROAD-MINDED, WITTY, INTELLIGENT, CAPABLE, SCRUPULOUS and CONSISTENT. And a lazy and disorganized person can’t be an interpreter, only a HARD-WORKING, INDUSTRIOUS and PATIENT one can manage it. And of course, it’s necessary to have a good memory.
To sum up, I think that a good person can choose any profession, it depends on his interests. If he or she is GOOD-NATURED, GOOD-HUMOURED, polite, AFFABLE, AMIABLE, KIND, KIND-HEARTED, FRIENDLY, CONSIDERATE, EARNEST, SINCERE, IMPARTIAL, JUST, HONEST, SCRUPULOUS, BENEVOLENT and PHILANTHROPIC, everyone will want to employ him or her. But as for ILL-NATURED and HARD-HEARTED people, it’s always difficult for them to find a good job. First of all, it’s difficult to get education, because they are usually UNRESTRAINED, INTOLERANT, SELF-WILLED, WILFUL, CAPRICIOUS, PRESUMPTIOUS, OBSTINATE, COARSE, HARSH, IMPUDENT and IMPERTINENT. They can start their studying but can’t finish it. And they are difficult to deal with. Even if they managed to get education, nobody wants to work with them. For example, nobody wants FUSSY people to work with their children. Or nobody wants to hire irresponsible or DISHONEST person. There are some people who are always RESERVED, lack CONFIDENCE and it’s difficult for them to communicate with other people. They always think that they do something wrong, they become too concerned about what people think about them. To my mind such people can’t achieve any success in their career. They should be more active, EASY-GOING, COURAGEOUS and PERSEVERING but within reasonable limits. We can see that personal traits of character play a great role in person’s choosing a profession.
