Personality determinants:
Heredity : Heredity refers to those factors that were
determined at conception. Physical structure, facial
attractiveness, gender, temperament, muscle
composition and reflexes, energy level, and biological
rhythms are characteristics that are generally considered
to be either completely or substantially influenced by
who your parents were, that is by their biological,
physiological and inherent psychological make up.
Environment : The environmental factors that exert
pressures on our personality formation are the culture in
which we are raised, our early conditioning, the norms
among our family, friends and social groups, and other
influences that we experience. The environment to which
we are exposed plays a substantial role in shaping our
personalities.
Situation : A third factor, the situation, influences the
effects of heredity and environment on personality. An
individual’s personality although generally stable and
consistent, does change in different situations. The
varying demand of different situation calls forth different
aspects of one’s personality. We should not therefore
look upon personality patterns in isolation.

Basic Etiquettes and Manners
Good manners and proper etiquette are at the very
core of how we communicate with one another.
The following etiquette tips are easy to incorporate into
everyday life:
1. Turn the cell phone off -- completely -- during a
luncheon meeting, social function, or on public
transportation.
2. Hold the door -- whether male or female, hold open a
door you have just passed through for the person
behind you.
3. Bring a gift for the hostess -- preferably one that
doesn’t require her to drop everything she is doing.
4. Keep to the right -- on the sidewalk, in stairwells.
5. Say please and thank you -- to waiters, flight
attendants, store clerks, cab drivers -- the little things go
a long way.
6. Circulate at a party or social gathering -- whether
hostess or guest, the people, not the food or drink,
should be your main focus.
7. Keep food or drink, briefcases or files in your left
hand -- keep your right hand free for handshakes.
8. Stamp and address thank you notes in advance --
when you know they will be needed, then fill them
out and drop them in the mail after attending an
event or receiving a gift or favor and you’ll be done.
9. Make eye contact and offer a warm smile -- in every
situation, this sets people at ease.
10. Be perceptive -- survey a situation and always use
your best judgment.
