and their environment and surroundings is such that it made them this way such as smart,
humble, confident, leading and following, listening, obeying orders, attention to details, etc.

daily and hence are well suited to know the facts about what is going on around the
world. - They are confident but not arrogant. They are confident in their tone and actions but

them stand out. - They are calm and composed. Always accessing the situations before taking any
actions. - They are well dressed and have a proper body language. Their dresses are neat and
clean and always well mannered. - They always have instantaneous replies and answers to problems which make them

They act calmly and reply “I do not know” to questions they don’t know. - They have high emotional intelligence and they never let their emotions get the better
of them. - They always accept their flaws and mistakes and work towards betterment of
themselves. - They are very easily adapted and accepted in a group.

practice at home and even in the workplace. Anybody who can develop these qualities
and knows how to adapt has a genuine chance of recommendation.
