Quote of the week!

Change is the only constant in life

-heraclitus

KEY CONCEPTS

If you will be asked some questions about yourself, how fast and certain can you give
your answer? If someone asks you to describe yourself or share a slice of your life in
class so that others can get to know you more, where do you begin your story? How are
you going to respond to this query? “Who am I?”.
Some people can give straight answers to personal questions or easily narrate
snippets of their lives, but others may stop for awhile or ponder long to oblige an answer.
At other times, the question lingers and finding the answer becomes a lifelong journey.
The answers will vary and unique to every individual, yet all should lead to a
pearl of discovery about oneself. Self-discovery is an essential personal task. It is a key
stone to personal development. Knowing who you are forms building blocks in growing
to become the person you want to be or you are meant to be. In whatever way you see
yourself becoming, change is what remains constant in the whole process of growth.
From who you were before, who you are today, to who you will become in the future,
change makes it all happen. This concept is not a new thing. During the ancient time,
the idea is change is inherent in nature had already surfaced. One great thinker who
thought about it is Heraclitus of Ephesus (530-470 BC), an ancient Greek philosopher
