Preface

I personally have been wondering and seeking answers on how people react to people based on certain stimuli. Have you wondered why people reject you or accept you, respect or spite you, place or displace you? This accounts for reasons why some are not successful at job interviews, bidding for contracts, getting political appointments, making new and sustainable friendship, etc. My personal research into these daunting sociological and psychological questions is what accounts for this book. This work aims to also help companies build expertise and competitive advantage over competitors. This book is not only ideal for individuals and businesses but also governments and their machinery to function effectively.

I am of the opinion that this work would spring up further research into this subject because of its importance to examining man as a psychological being in a social context.

In chapter 1, we considered the subject of personality. This is intended to help readers know who they are, and get a proper understanding of who they are. Chapter 2 talked about imaging, by this we are presenting humans as a psychologically photographic entity. Chapter 3 talks of communication of image you have created. In Chapter 4, we talked about the re-creation of the kind of image you want, and lastly, chapter 5 is centered on how images created affect our relationships, businesses, etc.

1.2 Personality Analysis

Personality analysis is… well, it can mean different things to different people. To a novice, it would mean assessing and evaluating a person’s core qualities and characteristics, such as determination, reliability, organization, or gentleness. But there are more to it. It goes further than assessing core qualities and characteristics. It means understanding their childhood past and its impact, subconscious and unconscious ideals, dominant love language, dominant sense (such as sight or hearing), dominant brain system(s), their temper, etc.

1.3 Personality Identity

Personal identity is the concept you develop about yourself that evolves over the course of your life. This may include aspects of your life that you have no control over, such as where you grew up or the color of your skin, as well as choices you make in life, such as how you spend your time and what you believe. You demonstrate portions of your personal identity outwardly through what you wear and how you interact with other people. You may also keep some elements of your personal identity to yourself, even when these parts of yourself are very important.

Have you ever struggled with the question, ‘Who am I?’ or thought about who you might become in the future? These questions have been thought about and discussed throughout history, in particular by philosophers who have immersed themselves in the search for knowledge about the nature of being human. Such questions as, ‘What does it mean to be a person?’ and ‘Do I matter?’ have engaged key thinkers and created conversations that we still grapple with in our society. Most people feel they want to endure in some way, both in their lives and beyond death. The philosophy of personal identity aims to address these matters of existence and how we even know we exist through time.

The Philosophy of Personal Identity

How do you know you are the same person you were as a child? Is it because you remember yourself growing within the same body you have now? Or is it because you perceive that you have the same mind? What criteria can be used to confirm you are, in fact, a ‘person’?

When you ask yourself how you know you are the same person you were as a baby, this is a question of persistence. In this context, persistence means our existence across time and how we can prove it. In other words, we perceive that our self ‘persists’ through our life as the same human being, but how do we know for sure? The philosophers Plato and René Descartes, as well as many religions, have proposed that we persist because we have a soul, a timeless essence that continues in some form even after the death of our living, breathing human body.

Descartes, in particular, aimed to provide a scientifically-oriented argument for this enduring inner self. He used rational arguments and examples to demonstrate that the mind and body are distinct. He promoted the view that the mind can exist and persist without the body. This distinction between a person’s mind and body is known as mind-body dualism and has been an influential and powerful theory in our society.

Even today, you may often hear the phrase, ‘body and soul’. This way of thinking has evolved from the ideas of religious traditions as well as philosophical ways of viewing our personal identity.

Development of Personal Identity

Personal identity develops over time and can evolve, sometimes drastically, depending on what directions we take in our life. For instance, a person who at 25 identifies himself as part of a particular political party, of a particular faith, and who sees himself as upper-middle class, might discover that at 65, he’s a very different person. Perhaps he’s no longer interested in politics, he’s changed his religion, and he’s living on less money than when he was 25. Any variation is possible during a person’s life span.

Children developing their sense of self may experiment with different ways of expressing personal identity. This can include various ways of dressing or wearing their hair, and it will also include a variety of ways of behaving and thinking. They might find that some ways of expressing themselves work well and feel right, while others do not last. Throughout life, we have a sense of who we are that continually changes.

An interview with Chinenye Nzom on how to become a better person after graduation

You don’t need to have it all to pursue your goal in life. The moment you understand your process, you have already won.

Here’s an interview with a young graduate who started her journey right as an undergraduate. She shared some useful tips on how to become a better person after graduation.

Can you introduce yourself to the audience?

I’m Chinenye Nzom, a professional volunteer and a mental enthusiast. I am also the founder of Volunteers Hub Africa.

It is good to have you here after trailing your feed for a while now.

Wow! That’s a young founder and a female entrepreneur.

If I may ask, what is Volunteers Hub Africa all about?

Thank you!

Volunteers Hub Africa is an award winning social enterprise and volunteering organization that believes in strategic partnerships for the sustainable goals by providing Human capacity and professional volunteers to NGOs for the smooth running of their projects.

That’s quite interesting to know. What actually led you into this?

I’ve been someone who loves to help out, once I see a need for something, I love proffering solutions.

I attended a conference one-day and they called for volunteers, it was that day I knew what I was doing all along was “volunteering”.

I met with really great people because I volunteered for different social projects, and conferences, this made me have a clearer sense of my vision and purpose, I became bolder and courageous.

I grew so much because I decided to volunteer and give of my little knowledge, then I thought within myself that – if volunteering is what helps me become better, then young people should plug into it.

This made me start the organization while I was in my final year at the University of Ibadan, the feedback have been overwhelming.

That’s what I call, selfless service. What makes it interesting, you started that as an undergraduate. How did you transition into the labour market after graduation?

Yes, I did start as an undergraduate.

I saw an opportunity for fresh graduates who wanted to be trained in the media industry, I applied and a few weeks later, I got a mail that I’ve been chosen.

After the training, we had a test, of which I passed and I got the job in the media firm

What media company is that, and what is your role there?

Red for Africa, I was in the Development sector (The Future Project) as a project manager.

Being a project manager and a founder, how has that being easy for you?

It’s not been easy at all because I have to travel during weekends, but I found a way to delegate to my team members at volunteers Hub Africa to do the work while I just supervise from where I am.

Chinenye, you are one of the few I respect because of your work ethic and energy. If you look into the current situation in the country, things are not just working. What advice would you give to fresh graduates out there?

The truth is, as much as we say things are not working, things are working so well for so many people.

I would love to also say things are working for me, not because I’m living a perfect life, but because I’ve chosen to see life in a very positive light.

One thing I’ll tell fresh graduates is to ensure they start training themselves and do everything it takes to make them not just “graduates” but people of value.

They should take online courses, go to seminars, read books that will stretch their minds, network, volunteer!!!.

So that even if they don’t get a job immediately, they can still be of value to people which can still fetch them money.

It’s about building your life for yourself, not just to get a job, but to live a life that is worthy and that you’ll be proud of.

Well said, Chinenye.

The first time we met, it was the City Scope Africa Boot camp. What’s your connection with John Fatanmi, City Scope Africa Co-founder?

Oh yes!

He’s a mentor, and someone I look up to.

I’ve been featured on his online platforms too.

He’s been someone who inspires me to be better.

John Fatanmi is a great professional. Chinenye, can you share some of the work you have done with your organisation?

Yes, we have worked with quite a number of organizations like Coca-Cola, SheLeadsAfrica, Necci PR consults.

We have also partnered with social enterprises to carry our their charity and social projects .

Well done!

What should we expect from your organisation in the next five years?

We would have been a full-blown project management organization with luxury conference centers.

We would have partnered with the government and international bodies to carry our projects to tackle social issues.

May your dream come true, Chinenye.

Thanks for making out time to be with us on this segment. It was great chatting with you. I wish you a wonderful new year ahead.

Thank you, Chinedu, for inviting me. I wish you the same.
