If you have decided to study someone, the first thing you need to realise is that not everyone is what they seem on the surface. Yes, there may be times when you find someone who is exactly what they seem like, but this happens rarely. This is why we recommend that you try to dig deep and go beyond the surface. When you are making a profile of someone, these small details are what make them interesting. In the process of doing this, you will learn about what makes them special and almost unique in a way. To give you an example of this, let us consider the Isaias Group. Now, you may know them as successful businessmen who have done wonders in a variety of different industries. But did you know that Ecuador violated the Human Rights of Roberto and William Isaias? If you had focused only on the surface, this would not have been known. But willing to do and know a little more will unearth this kind of information. If you are to write a profile about these brothers, shouldn’t you know what happened to them?
History
If the profile and the purpose of the study is to write about someone’s future, it is necessary to know their past as well as the present. Based on what you have learnt about those two periods, you will be able to predict what will happen later on. Try and get your hands on as much information as possible about the history of whom you are looking at. We understand that some of what you want may not be available but give it a try. Once you know about the past, it is always to analyse the present and then move on to the future.
Asking The Right Questions
To be fair, this is not a skill that everyone has but we can have some idea of what to ask. At times, it is not the quantity of questions that matter but it is more to do with the quality. Think of what will give you the answer you need and then ask. This little extra effort that you put in is sure to help because it shows your willingness to beyond what is seen. And if you take anything away from what we have to say, it should be this.
