Editorial Review
The assumption has always been made that the choices we make in life are based on the circumstances provided at the time of the choice. As much as it may feel that we are weighing out the facts in front of us, our actions are actually dictated by the motivations of our personality. A case study tells us the story of a young man who lived in a semi-conscious state for nearly two decades after a motor accident; his personality lay dormant for nearly twenty years. His recoverybesides being truly rarerevealed that he woke up from his state to have the same motivations, preferences and strengths that he had prior to his accident. And while our physical being changes with age, our personality doesn’t. But the real power of personality is: knowing your strengths and tendencies and of others around you, and making them work for you.
