moods, attitudes, and opinions and is most clearly expressed in interactions with other people.

from another and that can be observed in people’s relations to the environment and to
the social group.

Part C:
We can say that self discipline is the core factor behind someone’s success. We have amazing
illustrations of prominent personalities like Quaid E Azam, Bill Gates, Brain Lara, Ronaldo and
Mahatma Gandhi. They were some of the most disciplined people who keep motivated towards
their goals and succeeded in their lives. What differs them from others is their personality,
which refers to the changeable or not changeable unique character traits. What they usually do
is groom their personality as effective as they want it to be productive. First, they change their
habits to productive. Second, their lives are always in their control – they have a single plan of
execution of what-to-do and when-to-do, hence their lives are not controlled or influenced by
any other factors and keeps themselves motivated toward certain goals. Additionally, if we
have a more profound look towards their personalities, we will find some blatant qualities in
them. For instance, their unique traits depict the example of Big Five Model of Personality. They
are high on openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.
Moreover, some of their characteristics are obvious that when you talk to them, you will feel
affection, and you will have same level of reality. Moreover, they are always formally dressed
and it always a pleasure to meet them. In contemporary age, most of the people are not well
disciplined which is the great cause behind any failure. We should have firm control on
ourselves then we ate going to survive fully.
