One of the most important parts of personality is sincerity. Being natural is a big part of sincerity. Being truthful and giving people a fair chance is also a part of sincerity. lt is important to be sincere or you will not be given responsibility. A person who is in a place of importance must have the traits that make one sincere. These traits will be taken into consideration when advancing a person to a better job. It is believed that someone who is Fair and true will work efficiently and will do the best he can. This person is the one who will get the jobs for which he applies Promotions and raises will also come his way. An employer likes to give a raise or a promotion to someone whom he knows is true, sincere, and is not trying to deceive the firm. A lack of truth will produce a lack of confidence, when this confidence is lost, the basis of a good personality is shattered. Another aspect of personality can be adjustment. When a person can work and get along well with other people, we can say that he is well adjusted. lt is good to see other points of view and not always think that you are right. Imagination may also be a part of good relations. One must be able to see himself in many ways, and by putting himself in all situations, he will then see the points of view of many other people, and he will not become too self-centered. A person who gets along well with others will not contradict. Rather, he will first agree with the other person and then slowly change sides until he disagrees, if he thinks that he is right, and the other person will not sense that he is no longer agreeing to every- thing. A person that has the gift of tactful adjustment will be able to get along well in any job.
