Course Description
The personality indices are the underlying factors to indicate the competence and excellence of a person. Their influence even gets reflected in the professional and social spheres of life. While professional excellence is desired for application oriented personality factors, certain fundamental personality factors contribute to those applied factors. Notable among these are good life habits, good physical and mental health practices, contentment based engagement, good combination of memory and attention, inclination towards sublimity based on applied philosophy or philosophical worldview, social harmony irrespective of the caste, creed, gender and religious background of others with whom task based engagements cannot be avoided, personal and inter-personal conflict resolution capabilities, universal human values, and ethical and moral dimensions of life.
Thereby, personal excellence indices are endless. Even beyond these foundational personality traits, sublime qualities such as patience, perseverance, forgiveness, compassion, empathy are often considered to be very important dimensions of spiritual paradigm of life that indispensably influence the value system and skillset of a person. Thus, personal excellence factors can be analyzed to be a blend of philosophical and spiritual values of a person. Often, these are all nurtured and imparted by parents, teachers, peers and religious scholars in the life of a person and their utility can be only realized at a later stage of life. While childhood and teenage environments may or may not advocate on the cultivation of these qualities, a definite learning environment is required to transform a person into a role model personality. Emphasizing upon this need for the generation of role model citizens with impeccable character, the online certificate course on personal excellence (PEREX) curriculum has been carefully designed. Thereby, foundational personality traits that critically script success stories in all walks of life’s journey will be taught for effective cultivation in the PEREX course.
