Talent Vs Good Behaviour

A person may be exceptionally intelligent and talented but unless he is well behaved he is not accepted by the society.  Temporarily his associats may adjust with him but such people can’t build long term relations with anyone.

On the other hand a person with less intelligence and talent is liked by people around him if he has a good behavior.

Now the question which rises is, “What is good behavior ? and “What is bad behavior?”

We will have to see things at two levels, surface level and deeper level.  At surface level ‘shouting’ and ‘yelling’ at someone is bad behavior and being ‘polite’ and ‘soft’ is good behavior.  ‘Wishing’ people we meet, everyday or the known is good ‘not wishing’ them is bad.  ‘Rinsing the utensils’ in which we eat is good ‘not rinsing’ after we have finished is bad, and so on.  These are all outwardly behavior which can easily be seen and also learnt. 

A person gets recognized and liked or disliked due to his behavior which may or may not be physically visible but can be felt by others.

In this context things that matter are :

In execution of ones work. Does the person complete his tasks with efficiency or does he need to be prodded every now and then ?

Is he a facilitator of the policies of the company or an institute or acts as a hindering block in attaining the goals ?

Socially whether one is a supporter type or a back stabber ? whether one has an open mind or is a bigot ?

A person with good habits can only make a permanent impression on the minds of people and can make a permanent place in people’s heart. His high achievement can’t do so.
