Knowing Oneself………
Knowing yourself means understanding your strengths and weaknesses, your
passions and fears. It also includes your desires and dreams. It means being
aware of your eccentricities and idiosyncrasies, your likes and dislikes, and
your tolerances and limitations. Knowing yourself means knowing your
purpose in life, particularly your role in the community.
It helps us in decision making: It helps us to decide properly in life. Thus if you identify how
good you are in Mathematics, you can decide to go into accounting as a career.
Appreciating other people: Knowing yourself helps you understand other people with such
possessions, similar to yours. If you are moody, then you become considerate to people with
unpredictable mood swings.
Knowing our weaknesses: When we identify our weaknesses (i.e. what we are not very good
at, this helps us to relate to others better. Our weakness can be pride, laziness, dishonesty etc.)
Understand yourself: This tells us who we are and makes us able to accept ourselves. This
helps other people believe in us when we understand and believe in ourselves.

Let’s explore……………
Knowing oneself is a crucial thing for a person to do within his/her own way of analyzing things up.
There are six (6) steps in discovering your true self:
1. Be quiet. You cannot and will not be able to know yourself until you take the time to reflect.
2. Realize who you truly are, not who you want to be.
3. Find what you are good at (and not good at).
4. Find what you are passionate about.
5. Ask for feedback from others.
6. Assess your interactions and relationships.
Concept Notes
Most failures emanate from weaknesses that are not recognized or probably recognized but not
given appropriate attention or remedy. This could be a weakness in communications, personality or
ability. Instead of giving up or indulging in self-pity, take action. Go for speech lessons, get skills
upgrading, attend personality development sessions or whatever appropriate remedies to your perceived
weakness. Instead of simply focusing on your weaknesses, recognize your own talents and abilities, build
on them, utilize them to your greatest advantage. This is where you can build your name and popularity.
Handicapped people like Jose Feliciano and other blind singers did not brood over their physical
handicap. They recognized that they have a golden voice so they search for ways to enrich that talent and
now they have won international fame in the field of music.

What is Personality?
In Psychology, the term “personality” refers to the set of behaviors, feelings, thoughts, and
motives that identifies an individual. It is the essence of who we are and is the embodiment of one’s
physical, psychological, cognitive, affective, and spiritual self. Therefore, when we speak of the “Self,”
we will describe it in personality terms. However, Personality psychologists have different viewpoints.
One definition states that personality refers to the unique and relatively enduring set of behaviors,
feelings, thoughts, and motives that characterize an individual.
