Abstract

The term ‘Personality’ is a major concern for the people of not only urban area but for those too who belong to the rural area of our country. As far as ‘Personality Development’ is concerned, we feel ghettoized because our knowledge is confined and superficial. To develop our personality is in vogue these days because of people's high and unending personal and professional aspirations and hence personality development training centers that have mushroomed in the nook and the corner are regarded like temples by today's generation. In this context, I'd like to mention here that personality development is not about being proficient in a foreign language other than your native language or having an exquisite non-verbal communication; or being familiar with the advanced technology or gadgets etc because it talks about our outside skill development only. But this term deals with human values, ethical and moral values. So this is not a new-fangled perspective as Swami Vivekananda's viewpoints pertaining to personality development are quite old yet unique. According to whom, all strength lies inside us that is required to give a ‘Midas Touch’ to our personality. So in the present materialistic and chaotic world, when people are so ignorant to not to peep into their conscience, my research paper could be helpful to some extent.
