Top 10 Ways to Develop Sophistication
Sophistication does not mean being a person with money and all the fashionable clothes there is on the planet. Being sophisticated means you have class, manner and mature. There are people out there who has all the money but are not sophisticated enough with their acts. There are sophistication quotes that give us insights to what sophistication is and how you can change your ways:
“For all his learning or sophistication, man still instinctively reaches towards that force beyond. Only arrogance can deny its existence, and the denial falters in the face of evidence on every hand. In every tuft of grass, in every bird, in every opening bud, there it is.”
Here are some of the tips you may want to try to become more sophisticated:
1. Be On time All the Time – Being punctual makes you a better person, if your always late you send a negative message across, that your time is more valuable than of others. This is the first step to your improvement.
2. Be Organized – This does not mean that you have to go over the top and be a Obsessive Compulsive person. Realistically, you should organize your things, furniture and other stuff properly. Begin with the contents of your bag. Donate of throw away things that you no longer need.
3. Dress Properly – Being sophisticated means that you wear clothes that are appropriate for your body type, occasion and events that you will attend. Your clothes should not be too revealing or too short.
4. Be Discreet – When something overwhelms you act natural specially if you are in public. Refrain from shouting or talking too loud.
5. Do not overdo your fashion statement – Wearing Jewelries is okay so long that it matches your outfit and it is acceptable in functions that you will be attending. Wearing too many jewelry articles may make you look like being to pressured to fit in.
6. Watch Your Steps – Walk properly, do not hurry. Maintain your posture and always sit up straight.
7. Remember your manners – When eating, use the right utensils, do not eat in a hurry. Greet people around you, smiling is okay too.
8. Read Self Help Books and other books – Learning never stops, there are too many knowledge in the world to know. A sophisticated person in “in the know” and is aware of what’s going on. Sometimes, the best way to show sophistication is through your knowledge.
The entertainment world usually dictates teenagers how to act, dress and talk; this is not a bad thing however, parents should be less tolerable to their children if these changes them in drastic ways. Sophistication can be compared to the dawn, its not the prettiest part of the day, but it the part of the day where a new day begins. The best dawn quotes I can relate with sophistication are:
“A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”
“Let every dawn be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close.“
