It is through education that human beauty is revealed. An educated person is full of elegant, creative and mindful expressions. Compassionate towards others, extending a helping hand to any other’s problem, seeking the welfare of others is a characteristic of educated people. Education teaches people modesty, proper use of time, and mastery in action and cleanliness in thought.
In order to spread hatred for the unexpected works that has occurred in our society, we need to practice gentle nature from infancy. Family life is one of the main areas of practice for gentle nature. We have to spend time with our children with a delightful manner. Everyone should work together to create a spirit of human morality within the people by practicing gentle nature and social values. One of the aspects of practicing gentle nature is to show respect for each other’s advantages, disadvantages, opinions and feelings.
Some gentle natures everyone must have to succeed in work and life. Be honest and have integrity-People with personal integrity always try to do the right thing. It takes courage to do the right thing whatever the consequences. Being honest means telling the truth and being straightforward and open with people. A very wise man once said, “Tell the truth, but never a harsh truth.” People with personal integrity always try to do the right thing, regardless of whether anyone would ever know what they’ve done. They have a strong moral compass. It takes courage to do the right thing whatever the consequences. Integrity is a valuable quality in everyone, but it’s vital in leaders. Your honesty and integrity will engender trust in others.
Be empathetic-Empathy enables you to understand other people’s motivations, needs, and emotions more deeply, and you can use that understanding to create better opportunities for them. Having empathy lets you accurately perceive people’s needs. Having empathy whether for colleagues, family, or friends comes from focusing on someone else’s needs, struggles, and feelings. It requires that you open your heart to them and put their needs before your own.
Be creative-Being creative is allowing your intuition to reveal possibilities to you and following them in the moment. The source of creativity is your imagination. When creating, you synthesize all of the ideas that you’ve taken in from myriad sources and, magically, all of those inputs fall into place, forming a cohesive whole. This is your intuition at work. All creativity involves improvisation-whether you’re designing user experiences, acting on a stage, jamming with a band, doing some form of creative writing, or making up a new recipe.
Be passionate-To sustain the level of effort and concentration that the work demands, you must have a passion for your work. With passion, your work ceases to feel like work. Your passion keeps you focused on your goals, enables you to get things done and take risks when necessary, and makes it possible for you to realize your vision. Always strive to do great work! Don’t settle for less. Don’t compromise on quality. Love your work and you’ll have the motivation to continually hone your skills and expand your areas of competency, as you must forever do in this field. When you work with passion, you can reach your full potential.
Be a life-long learner – Being a life-long learner is a quality of successful people. Having the motivation and the ability to learn and grow throughout your life is an essential quality in today’s fast-changing world. Learning is a life-long process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn.
Be a good listener-Listening well is the key to effective communication. Focusing on both what people say and how they say it ensures that you accurately receive the messages people communicate to you. Paying attention to their use of language, tone of voice, body language, gestures, and emotional affect increases the probability that you will be able to correctly interpret their meaning and understand what you hear. Listen for people’s ideas, not just to their words. When you listen well, you’ll experience fewer misunderstandings and make fewer mistakes.
Be responsible and kind-It’s essential that you do your best to meet your obligations to your colleagues. If you promise to do something, you should try very hard to fulfill that promise. Yes, sometimes things change-so it’s no longer desirable to move forward with something-or circumstances may prevent your doing something exactly when you said you’d do it. But in either of these cases, it’s your responsibility to discuss the problem with your colleagues and, together, determine the best way forward. There’s nothing quite as disappointing as relying on someone to do something and having them go incommunicado or disappear on you. It’s important to be respectful of the people with whom you work. Treat your colleagues as you would like them to treat you. Being kind to one another makes the workplace a happy place to be, smooth’s the team’s interactions, and helps everyone to be highly productive. When your teammates are struggling, show them compassion and help them to get through tough times.
Be a leader-If you have leadership qualities, you can function as a leader whenever a situation requires that you take the lead, set the team’s direction, or make decisions. The best leaders are forward-looking, competent, intelligent, and broad-minded. Effective leaders model good human qualities for the people who work for them, including honesty, fairness, straightforwardness, dependability, cooperativeness, determination, imagination, ambition, courage, caring, maturity, loyalty, self-control, and independence. They care for the people who work for them, delegate responsibility to them, and support them in what they do. They praise publicly and, when necessary, criticize or reprimand in private.
Be courageous-Having courage gives you the tenacity to work through issues and disagreements without compromising your principles. Don’t be afraid to speak out and make your opinions known-particularly if you’re the lone voice representing user experience. Master your fears and insecurities and take a stand. Live up to your values. Do the right thing. Often, you’ll derive courage from the need to stand up for others-whether users, colleagues, or the people who work for you.
Be self-aware-Self-awareness requires mindfulness and deep reflection on your thoughts, your emotions, your motives in your interactions with others, and what is happening in your life. Self-awareness-knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are and acknowledging what you have yet to learn-requires mindfulness and deep reflection on your thoughts, your emotions, your motives in your interactions with others, and what is happening in your life. It is a valuable quality that everyone should cultivate, but it’s an especially valuable quality in leaders.
Due to the practice of gentle nature, one is encouraged to abolish injustice and regard cruelty as a crime against humanity. Basically, practicing gentle nature is one of the aspects of practicing education in order to pursue education in the path of good and justice and to establish the peaceful society by ignoring self-interest, pushing away the absurdity.
