Post B

"And, as sometimes happens with such acquired personality traits, each successive year saw a deepening of the quality in him.."(55) I think it is amazing how some people will seem like a particular way in their personality. Like annoying, or impatient, or even determined. Over time these qualities in one's personality can develop and shine even further ontu one's personality, or it can fade. Either way expierence will be the cause of these changes. That is why when people get older they start to change. They have had the chance to change. People learn really do learn from expierence. It is the ones who use that expierence to change for the better, that creates a brighter glow of one's personality traits. They learn what are attractive qualities, and what qualities that create alienment. If people learn that when they are more willing to do things, they will be invited to more, and various kinds of outings. Or if they complain, and demand to have thier way, one could possibly learn how this creates tension among relationships, and will eventually be ignored. If one chooses to ignore this lesson, it will continue to worsen as they get older. So I think that it is an amazing thing when people learn from their past mistakes, and are able to grow/transform in a positive way because of them. All it takes is that one expierence , and people will become more aware of thier personality. I hope that I will be able to realize when I make a mistake, and be able to change my behavior, at least before I get too old.
