Incredible facts

Authenticity is just a catchy word for many today. But what does it mean? What does it mean to be an authentic person?

Authentic is real, genuine, real. To be real is to have courage be yourself, no matter what people think about you and what they say behind your back.

Authentic people are easily recognized by their actions, characteristics, and how they interact with the world.

Here they are, 10 signs characteristic of real people.

1. Real people have self-determination.

Real people constantly analyze themselves from the outside, trying to understand who and what they are. They constantly think about what they need from life, and what kind of person they would like to meet on their way.

They study their mistakes and mistakes, but do not dwell on them. The experience they gain will be used as a base to help them in their quest to improve.

2. Real people don't judge.

Since a real person constantly looks at himself and his mistakes from the outside, it is absolutely not inherent in him to judge other people.

They know that mistakes need to be learned, as they are a very valuable tool for their own growth and change in the future. Real people accept others regardless of their skin color, orientation, religion, nationality, etc.

3. Real people live in the present tense.

Such people do not constantly remember the past, their mistakes and unfulfilled hopes. Moreover, they do not waste time fantasizing about what will happen in the future.

They live in today and accept all the events of the present. An authentic person understands that nothing is permanent, so such a person tries to make the most of his life.

Qualities of a good person

4. Real people are pragmatic

Despite the previous point, real people tend to plan their future. They focus on long-term goals, rather than short-term gains achieved through theft, lies and deception.

They invest their time in long-term profit and don't follow the crowd. These people know who they are and what they want, so they plan to achieve their goals within a reasonable time frame.

5. Real people have character.

They value their character and their honor, and not the ability or inability to make quick money. They always do what they say because they are reliable and honest.

You can always count on such people, because full responsibility for their words and actions rests on their shoulders.

6. Real people listen

They will only talk to you if they want to hear what you have to say. Otherwise, they will not waste their time on unnecessary conversations.

In other words, they not only wait for a response to their opinion, but also try to comprehend what they hear. These people always pay attention to the little things that appear in a conversation in order to grasp the essence.

Features of a real person

7. Real people are consistent

Since an authentic person spends a lot of time thinking about his own actions and taking full responsibility for them, he is characterized by a higher degree of emotionality and consistency.

Such people always know what they want, just as they always understand who and what they are in life. A real person moves in the direction that he has set for himself, so he does not chase such impermanent things as wealth and status.

They always position themselves in the present day as long as their plans are carried out and they go their own way. They will never be an example of indecision and frivolity, since they always know what they need from life.

8. Real people are honest

These people are honest, first of all, with themselves, about who they want to be and what they want from their lives. In the case of such people, they have no choice but to be honest with everyone.

Man is different from man to man. There are no identical people, there are no “good” or “bad” people. However, in society you can quite often hear something like “The main thing is to be a good person,” or “Well, be a person!” But how to be a good person and what it means to be a person in general - when answering such questions, people get lost. They don't know. Or they know, but are treacherously silent...

A person is a biological species endowed with certain physical characteristics (arms, legs, head) and socio-psychological (character, communication culture, value orientation). Based on this definition, we can be congratulated - we are all “humans”. What makes a person “good”? The answer is simple - our attitude. Our own attitude towards ourselves, and the attitude of others, is a subjective assessment.

To be a good person for oneself means to act in accordance with our socio-psychological attitudes. Each of us has our own vision of reality, our own rules, principles and norms of behavior. Is it worth clarifying that, guided by them, we take them as a certain standard. Our thoughts, views, actions are a standard, this is good for us personally, while for another person this may be completely unacceptable, wrong, etc. We endow ourselves with certain characteristics that correspond to our worldview (standard). The higher the degree of conformity, the more reasons to consider oneself “good.”

Making promises to yourself and keeping them is what it means to be a responsible person. Responsible to yourself. Having an idea of ​​how to behave in society and acting in accordance with these ideas is what it means to be an educated person. Brought up in our personal understanding of this issue. To know how to do what is “possible” and how to do what is “not” and to behave accordingly is what it means to be a decent person. To be decent based on our personal judgments.

Each person considers himself educated, responsible, decent based on his personal ideas about these phenomena. The difference is that everyone has their own ideas. For this reason, there is a clash of opinions - for yourself, you seem to be the best, and someone throws mud at you, excuse me. And who to believe?..

What does it mean to be a good person for others? This is a very interesting question, because it is completely meaningless! Let's start with whether it is even possible to be good to others, because the concept of “surroundings” implies a countless number of people. And how many people - so many opinions, we have already found out. It is simply impossible to conform to everyone’s opinion, therefore, you will not be good to everyone. So is it worth continuing? But it’s worth continuing, but I suggest leaving the crowd that surrounds us in the background. Let's talk about people dear to us...

Our family and close friends are those around us to whom we should and want to be good people. The main goal is not to offend or hurt them. We must try to behave with dignity towards those we care about. This is a manifestation of our care. This is not easy, because everyone needs their own approach and at least some correspondence to their views, but this makes us human in the eyes of others, which is important to us. And the opinion of others, the opinion of the “crowd” should not worry us in principle.

There is no point in thinking about what an ideal person should be like. There are no ideal people, that's a fact. You can only strive to be ideal for yourself, based on your personal expectations. You can strive to be perfect for your loved one. Although in the latter case, what matters is who you are, who you are. You will be loved and accepted with all your positive and negative traits. This is the manifestation of true love.

In conclusion, it's hard to be a person you're not. Trying to meet someone else's requirements, constantly stepping on one's own throat, lying, both to oneself and to others - these are the moments that seriously complicate our lives. If you want to play a role that is unusual for you, please, the theater group is at your service. But don't play with life, it's too short. To be yourself, to be satisfied with your life - this is what it means to be a real person.

As Anton Pavlovich Chekhov said: “Everything in a person should be beautiful: his face, his clothes, his thoughts, his soul.” He knew exactly what it meant to be a man with a capital M, and he encouraged everyone to become human. But its time has long stopped, more than one decade has passed, and today everyone understands this expression in their own way.

What types of essays are there?

As an example, we can cite the thematic essay: “What it means to be human,” which describes the most common distinctive features.

“Man is a calling. And all because a real person harmoniously combines such qualities as sincerity, honesty, courage, and kindness. Such people can be easily recognized in a crowd. They seem to radiate compassion and good nature. The one who calls himself “man” will never refuse help, will always stand up for a just cause and will not judge anyone. He will treat everyone equally and will never humiliate anyone. And if I am asked, “What does it mean to be human?” I will immediately answer that to be human means to give happiness to others, to live with a clear conscience and to have only positive character traits.”

Personality qualities

Schoolchildren write essays on a given question, starting in elementary school. And for the most part, such essays are just a list of positive character traits. Moreover, they are so positive that they create a certain ideal image that has never existed and will never exist. And if in the 4th grade a child, having listed the positive character traits of a person, definitely has good ingenuity, then in the 11th grade, essays of this format will not receive such flattering reviews.

And not because personality traits are not important for a person, but because understanding of certain aspects is necessary.

Aristotle's Wisdom

In the works of Aristotle, there is one interesting treatise called “The Principle of the Golden Mean”. Its main essence is quite prosaic: between two opposing character traits there is a “golden mean”, which is virtue.

Significance

So, everything is simple here: a significant person is one who is needed and important. Paradoxically, everyone living in society strives to be significant and recognized. But to be a real person, you don’t need to have huge financial resources. An individual has the right to experience feelings of indignation and irritation, he is allowed to do crazy things. This is what it means to be human. And the significance of a person from the fact that he experiences a diverse range of feelings is not underestimated. On the contrary, it makes him more sincere. And this is not such a bad trait that characterizes what a person should be.

A real hero

The review of true human qualities does not end here. To the question “What does it mean to be human?” Junsei Terasawa, a wandering Buddhist monk, responded at the time. He spent a long time researching the history of the emergence of religions and civilization in general. And gradually I came to the conclusion that all the religions of the world are based on reverence and respect.

And in ancient times, as you know, they revered not kings, emperors and dictators, but heroes. They were always looked up to and supported. They followed the hero, they died with him, they made up legends about him and always remembered him. The heroes of the past were not afraid of death or loss of material values; they had limitless consciousness, feeling themselves to be part of the universe. No one was born a hero, they became one gradually, cultivating in themselves not only general human qualities, but also the ability to be happy, because this is what attracted people.

What could be the content of the essay?

Now the essay “What it means to be human” may sound different. Of course, one can describe him as an ideal representative of the genus Homo Sapiens, but if we take into account the teachings of Aristotle and assume that everyone has negative character traits, then this is inappropriate. So the example would be like this:

“I don't know what it means to be human. There are too many conventions in the world that people must comply with and, wanting to be accepted in society, we comply with these rules. Every day we put on the masks of respectable citizens and plunge into the abyss of gray everyday life. And in the evening, when the masks are removed, everyone plunges into themselves and tries to understand who they are and who they are. I don't think the word "man" can describe this creature.

I think being human means being yourself in any situation in life. A person does not always have to be perfect in everything; he can be sad and worried. What makes a person human is not conforming to an ideal type, but the ability to feel and understand someone else's pain. And a person should also be able to find happiness in little things. That's all.

Just like heroes, people become good people gradually. But if a person has turned into someone who can be called such a word with a capital letter, then he will definitely become someone’s hero. It can not be in any other way".

And as a result, we can say the following. A person is someone who knows how to empathize and support, is not ashamed of his true feelings and will always find a reason for a kind and sincere smile. This is exactly what heroes once were, and to be like them means to be human.

In the section on the question what does it mean to be a real person? You need a page-long essay on the topic of what it means to be a real person, given by the author. Fyf dered the best answer is: You have to work hard on yourself to become a Human. A person is not a humanoid creature, he has a soul, a mind, talents, and his own opinion. What is the difference between a humanoid creature and a Man? Unfortunately, there are many anthropoids in everyday life; they do not think about the future, do not have a predisposition to learn, and there is no common sense that stops Man from making terrible mistakes. What does he have? Now he may be popular among his peers, but he will pay for it. A person knows how to think in favor of himself. Respect for people, for life and for oneself, this is the motto of Man. A person thinks about the future, he doesn’t need a grade so that his mother won’t scold him, or take a test and forget, he knows what he wants to achieve in life. And he will do it. this determination and enthusiasm to make his life better will direct him on the right path. Also, attitude towards people plays a very important role. A person will not be rude, or call someone names, declare boycotts, ruin someone’s life in order to benefit himself. He will listen and give advice. This is a true friend and a hero of our time. There are very few of them. (maybe off topic, I just developed an idea)

They say: “Become a man!” That is, they call on you to manifest everything that you talked about. Thus, we call man not the body, not the external appearance, but the inner world, that inner man whom we do not see, but which manifests itself in everything that a person does.

To do good to people, you must, first of all, be a polite person, because... “Politeness” is one of the most important qualities of a well-mannered person.

Previously, the word “vezha” meant “expert”; this is someone who knows the rules of decency, the forms of expressing a good attitude towards people. Sometimes guys behave rudely; it seems to them that in these cases they are acting like independent, independent and almost adult people.

Listen to the poem by A.L. Barto “Confession” and tell me what rules of politeness can be taken from it.

Andryusha drinks in response.

Come find out, come understand,

What happened to the guy about eight years old?

Will you come for lunch at 3 o'clock, -

His mother told him.

He muttered: “I know myself.”

And he showed up at 5.

Well, what's wrong with you, Andryushenka?

And the son confessed to her:

When I don't listen to you,

I look more mature.

Guys, do we have people like Andryushka in our class?

Children: No.

Guys, what rules of politeness can you name after listening to this?

poem? (don't be rude, don't make trouble, don't bother anyone)

Be attentive to people.

Don't be rude.

Don't cause trouble to others.

Help someone who is having a hard time.

Be hardworking and responsive.

Respect your elders, help your kids.

Don't insult people by word or deed.
