Is Charisma Taught or Are You Born With It?

Many men and women lead colorful lives. There are those that feature great emotion and tend to run their mouths and then there are others that seem to be so natural in leading and being charming that it can be somewhat amazing for some and and annoying to others. There will probably be a return to a time when there was royalty and chivalry but it will progress slowly. As a result there is a change in the world where political correctness is dwindling and the battle between government officials, not to mention an absence of a leader in government will make people turn on each other. What follows a great leader but charisma? When you see people every day, you can see when others avoid a bad conversation or when they listen. They talk about any open topic like politics or the weather. Many people approve of a person who listens. This is part of a charismatic personality.

When we were young, we were taught to be polite to our elders and our neighbors. We tend to stop talking too much and talk without spreading gossip or vulgar things. However, parents reach us in time and makes us pick up these traits or habits naturally. This can bring out the charismatic side of us as well. What is not to love about a superior person that touches on the habits that anyone can keep? It can mean that the parent has done their job in raising their children. It is charisma that will pull us through.

What does Barack Obama have? Or Hilary Clinton? They each have charisma. They say things that others feel belongs to us. They reach out to us and make us believe that we are the only ones in the room they can talk to about anything. Charismatic people know what is involved in making friends or personal relationships. There would be nothing without individuals such as Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King or even Oprah. To those individuals, there’s a great big halo over their heads and they seem like a great example of a mentor or a “superhuman”.

So, charisma has its unruly beginnings. You are either born with it or it can also be learned. Many will debate its origins but a person’s personality will always be intact at a early age. Freud’s theory said it best.

He believed this about human personality: The adult personality emerges as a composite of early childhood experiences, based on how these experiences are consciously and unconsciously processed within human developmental stages, and how these experiences shape the personality.

He knew well because charisma may be part of our inner personality. Those who care about where charisma came from, will not care about that as much because even if charisma does or doesn’t run deep in all of us, we will strive to have that in our lives daily.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
