Personality and Lifestyle

3.
Although it seems there is not much difference between having a nice personality and being a good person, there are some distinctive differences between them. Having a nice personality means that a person has positive and unique characteristics such as kindness, popularity, humorous, attention-grabbing, fame, etc. A person who has a nice personality doesn’t have to be “kind” or “loving”; he or she doesn’t have to be a “good” person. Biff may have a nice personality because he is popular in school and a star inside his high school as a football captain. He is ‘well-liked’ by people and has a unique personality. A good person conveys more than having a unique personality. A good person may have a nice personality, but moreover, he or she has to show humbleness, help and care other, know how to treat other people with care. A good person may make other people to feel comfortable and respected. This person also may not have a unique personality, but may have the ability to serve others.

Similarly, having a nice lifestyle is having a balanced, satisfying, and happy life. A person who has a nice lifestyle doesn’t need to be a rich. As long as this person enjoys and satisfied with his life, he has a nice lifestyle. The main difference between having a nice lifestyle and living well is living a contented life. This person may have family members who love this person to support and to make happy. On the other hand, living well doesn’t necessarily include living a happy life. A person who lives well may be rich and can afford money for whatever, but is not satisfied with one’s life and may not be balanced. A nice lifestyle is more practical and healthier than living well which may cause dissatisfaction and unsuccessful social life.

There are some common things between the notions of personality and lifestyle. These two are interrelated. The personality of a person determines the lifestyle. A person with a popular personality will make this person’s lifestyle t to depend on popularity. These two are the main things that change when a person is impacted by something. For example, if the person reads an article about the impact of bullying others from which she decides not to bully people, this person’s personality which is being haughty and no caring will change into less haughty and caring other people’s feelings more. Thus, this person’s lifestyle will change from bullying people to not bullying people. This, however, doesn’t mean that this person changes from bad person nice person, but from maybe from a bad person to a less bad person.
