Getting to know oneself is a journey. For me, it is very important that we know who we really are; and our self-concept will be the beginning of it. How we perceive our physical characteristics, personality traits, and social identity will be our starting point for it will influence how we feel, think, and act in our everyday life.

As we grow old, we discover so many things about us. We are able to know our potential for growth, strengths and weaknesses, limitations, and room for improvement. With the experiences we’ve encounter, along with the changes and challenges, we are able to build and develop: the positive or negative judgement of our self or self-esteem, the value to our self or self-worth, our confidence that we can accomplish what we're doing or self-efficacy, and our different ways of thinking about our self or self-complexity.

There is still more and beyond of what we thought we already know of who we are. Not just as a human being, but also as a person, it is not only about knowing oneself, but also to accept wholeheartedly who one is.

How do I see myself? How do others see me? It always pop up in my mind and said “Do I really know myself better than others do?” in our subject, Personal Development I learned a lot about myself and it’s very important to know who really are and how we look on our physical characteristic and personal traits it will be our outset for it will impel on how we think and act in our daily life.

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom” this quotes is spoken to Aristotle. To truly know yourself is the most important skill you can ever possess. When you know who you are, you know what you need to do, instead of looking for permission from others to do what you already know you ought to do.

Let us bear in mind that too much or little of anything is bad. When we face problems everyday, we feel an emotional and physical tension along with it. This is what we call stress.

It is an unavoidable to experience stress; especially when you’re a student and entering the process of adolescence. The most usual reason behind mine is because of my school works. But stress is not always harmful. Some stress can also be considered helpful. Honestly speaking, I just found out today that there is also what we call a positive stress and a negative stress. They may result depending on the stressor and the response, which our body would make. Regardless of what we will be encountering, the crucial point is to know how to cope with it effectively. Knowing how to deal with it is important since it could greatly affect your physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral aspect.

There is no other person who knows you better other than yourself. Every time we go through worries and difficulties, I think that it is best that we help ourselves to escape from it (if possible). By simply taking care of yourself in ways like doing what you love, it could be a great mechanism to relieve yourself from all the stress. Sometimes when I am able to finish or accomplish something, I give myself a moment to break from all the negativity and treat myself what I want because I think that as a person, we also deserve to feel at ease from time to time. We are not robots.

Everyone has different stories to tell. This day, I was able to get to know my classmates better. We shared matters about how we see ourselves as an object. What I discovered is more on about other people rather than about myself.

I realize that you really cannot tell what is inside a person's mind or heart. Might be that you already have an idea about who he or she is but we know that there is something more and deep that we do not know (yet) about that person. You'll never know if someone is honest and true to what he or she is showing you. Personally, I think that building a relationship with other people is hard. Getting to know someone is a long way process and takes time. But I also believe that with the power of communication, it would connect yourself to others and would strengthen your bond. There will always be someone who shares the same perception with you. Sharing your thoughts and feelings, and being shared by is a great way to have a healthy and positive relationship.

When I was a kid, my biggest dream is to become a teacher. But as I grow older, my choices have changed. I realized and considered some factors that resulted into changing my decision. We are always torn by the opportunities and options we get to choose from. I want to achieve everything that I have always dreamt of. I want to become the person whom my family, my friends, and I myself can rely on. Although, we cannot achieve our goals without going through hardships and a long way process. It takes time to hone ourselves and become that ideal person we wish we were. However, by being completely emerged in what we do, it could provide us with more potential for advancement that we can use in the future. As long as we continually engage ourselves in our career, that long-term commitment will someday pay off.

A family is where a child learns the basic values of life. It is where our character is being molded. Families might come in different structures and sizes, but it doesn't matter how many or who are the members of your family are. What I believe is important is as long as you are comfortable, and you feel at home with them, then you can already consider them as your family. Our mental growth, well-being, and stability all depend on our family. That is why it is important for us to protect and strengthen our relationship with them. Personally, I feel more distant to my family as I grow up. And I have come to realize that it is communication that is lacking and is what something that we need to work on to. A family that talks and listens to each other will have a healthier bond.

“Great leader are rare. There may be a bunch of leaders in a room. But not all of them can be considered as leaders who made a difference.”

Would you consider yourself a leader? A leader is an admirable position to take up leaders have power and they have more control over where they want things to go, people look up to leaders and while they’re given more responsibilities they often reap more of the rewards, but not every person can actually be a leader. Leadership takes skills and hard work that do not always appeal to every person working towards their goals.

Our values have something to do with our tight-knit relationship with other people. As Filipino, we remarkably practice Pakikisama, Bayanihan, Utang na Loob, and Hiya. These values form good social relationships, which give benefits and advantages: Emotional Rewards, Material Rewards, and Health Rewards. To sum up, these rewards make us be that person who lives happily, healthy, and satisfied. Thus, it enables us to share and spread harmony in the community and society instantly. It would even influence others to do so since The Looking Glass Self states that our self-concept is greatly affected by the interactions we form with other people. Suppose we have good interactions with people around us. In that case, we are likely to influence others to be good, which leads us to practice good values further and have harmonious relationships with other people. As Rudolf Steiner once said "A healthy social life is found only when, in the mirror of each soul, the whole community finds its reflection, and when, in the whole community, the virtue of each one is living."
