Be moderate in your walking and your
talking. The most unpleasant sound is the
braying of donkeys.

4. The clothes that you wear, the way you
walk, your face features, your body
language, your tone of voice, your doodles,
your hobbies and the music that you prefer
can reveal a lot about your personality.
Surah Luqman

5. The way you walk doesn’t only reflect
some of your personality traits but
it also reflects your current mood.
Surah Luqman

person.”
