A TIGER MAY LOOSE ITS STRIPES BUT NEVER ITS NATURE
This means that come what may one's nature is an unchangeable part of ones personality. I wanted to examine this. Is it really so? Do we have no control over who we intrinsically are? Can we never be what we desire to be just because we have a nature which does not lend itself to any tampering? Well I think and believe differently. Human will and determination have to be given some importance. If a person so desires and is willing to put in the effort he can shed his stripes and his nature.
This may sound a bit far fetched but small changes over time will lead to an alteration of personality traits. Whenever you feel that a certain facet of your nature is hampering your growth and comes in the way of true happiness you can do something about it. The key lies in becoming conscious of that facet and whenever it surfaces you should be able to curb it. By just being conscious lots can happen. You can convert your negatives into positives and vice versa. It has happened with me and is an ongoing process. Everytime I find something lacking I work upon acquiring that trait so that it adds to my personality and when I become conscious of an undesirable trait I work to overcome it, disown it.
Nature after all in its detailed understanding can be explained as sum total of all the major and minor characteristics of our personalilty. These characteristics make us think and act a certain way. And if we are able to break them up into their constituent parts we can surely and successfully bring desirable changes in our personality and consequently change our nature to a great degree.
