Nothing Is Perfect: A humble person should always be aware of this fact. Every human being has some goods and a few ill things, inherent in his personality. The greatness of a person lies in the fact that how he understands his own self. To keep weeding out the deformities or keep polishing the goodness is what makes him a better man. A mature man should always be aware of his short comings or drawbacks .To accept and to overcome them is most important.

Analyze One Self From Other’s Perspective: People around you are a better judge of your personality, then your own self. They keep scanning you on daily basis from your activities and given a chance could easily enlist a lot of dislikes about you and believe me a few could definitely be spot on. Therefore to keep analyzing yourself from other’s perspective would definitely make you a better man.

Analyzing Different Personalities: Every human being around you has some great qualities, by which he is identified. It is not necessary to ape every such quality but to be able to at least try and infuse such qualities in your own personality is always a welcome step. I obviously don’t expect you to go beyond you comfort level, but a nice try would at least fetch you a few good qualities.

Simplify Yourself: A complex personality is always hard to cope with. You can never befriend someone with whom you don’t share a good comfort level or if you can’t confide in him. You have to be a simple personality to make friends that could make you understand your own self better. Just be honest, clear hearted and easy going by your nature. This would win you hearts of your friends without any extra efforts.

of That Story where in when a frog was thrown in hot water. The frog very swiftly jumped out of the Vessel in a flash. But the same frog died, when the water was gradually heated up.

Life is all about moving on and to keep adding brilliance to your own self on a

Continuous level. A quest to learn something new, to make new friends, to challenge

yourself for something that you have not done before and to actually do that would

make you confident and a better man.

Take Criticism Positively: People normally don’t take criticism in their

Stride, but the same could actually benefit them. Criticism in a way is the feedback that they get for their work or personal traits. This probably is the best tool for a person’s evaluation in a neutral way. In India it is ancient saying that if you want to benefit yourself, then keep your foes near you then your friends.

Criticism if done in a positive way would actually let you know of your drawbacks and in a way you could try and work on them.

Acquire Knowledge: The world always gives a special respect to those who have a great wisdom and that can only be achieved thru Knowledge and its proper utilization. Knowledge in a way enhances the conscience of the individual towards prudent decision making and dignified code of conduct.

Every effort towards acquiring Knowledge makes a person a better man. It’s only through knowledge that a person learns to earn bread, self respect, and admiration from society and becomes an asset to the society.

Therefore, How to be a better man? Seems to be an unending progress towards self actualization. This is quite possible by keeping the mentioned thoughts in conscience and practicing them daily.
