WE ARE WHAT WE DO

If one behaves in a certain manner,if he or she is rowdy,rude, loud etc that person is showing people what kind of a person he or she is. it is said that if you want to know a persons character you will to look at his or her circle of friends. meaning that if my are the type of people that smoke,rob people thats us. WE ARE WHAT WE DO. action speak louder than words. people become what they do. According to Timothy and Wilson(psychologist) "People draw inferences about who they are, by observing their own behavior."

Self-perception theory turns common wisdom on its head. People act the way they do because of their personality traits and attitudes, right?  we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are. Self-perception theory thus anticipated the revolution in psychology in the study of human consciousness, a revolution that revealed the limits of introspection, says Timothy and Wilson.

we often judge people by their behaviour,if we have seen a certain individual behaving in a certain manner we will change that she is that type of person. maybe this one night she was stressed and had too much to drink and was acting all kind of funny and vomiting, we will judge her/him according to that and say he/she is the type that gets wasted. the saying is true 'WE ARE WHAT WE DO". If you have applied for a job and that certain company goes to your facebook page and sees the things you post  and will see from all those things what kind of an individual are you. WE ARE WHAT WE DO.
