Win!

A winning attitude is good but wanting to win at all costs is just crude!

Self Concept


I am going down the road of self-concept. I like to think that our self-concept is  how we look at ourselves and that includes how we develop a sense of who we are as a person. I think we are all originals and make a certain kind of impact and difference  in our very own special way. 

Our self-concept influences how we set goals, our dreams and how we interact with the other people in our lives and the public.
There are variety of sources that contributes to developing our self-concept. My personal choice of how we perceive self would be the following : 
  • What other people say about us and how they treat us
  • Comparison to others
  • Cultural teachings which includes religious institutions and society influences among others.
  • How we evaluate ourselves—our own personal thoughts and assessment.
It is interesting to note these few questions...
  • Do we know what influence us?
  • Do we think our world view is important?
  • How are we challenged or comforted?
Now, how do we see ourselves again?...
I guess we all know how difficult it is to understand ourselves but should we acquire 'the art of understanding', we can use it to our advantage in making our way around this world. We have accepted the fact that we are far from perfect, we are flawed and a bit complicated by nature. Again, capitalising on our strengths and growing from weaknesses will make us UNIQUE in every sense of the word.
