Study Notes
Self-Concept
- The self includes a person's life purpose, meaning, and aspirations
- The self-concept has two broad categories: the ideal self and the actual self
- The ideal self is the self that you aspire to be, with characteristics like that of a mentor or some other worldly figure
- The actual self is the self that you see, with characteristics that you were nurtured or born to have
Personal Effectiveness
- It is the ability to make use of all personal resources (talents, skills, energy, and time) to achieve goals
- It depends on innate characteristics, talent, and experience accumulated in the process of personal development
- Experience includes knowledge and skills acquired in the process of cognitive and practical activities
- Knowledge is required for setting goals and defining an action plan to achieve them, as well as risk assessment
- Skills determine whether real actions are performed in accordance with the plan, and can become habits if used many times in the same situation
Skills that Increase Efficiency
- Determination allows you to focus on achieving a specific goal without being distracted by less important things
- Self-confidence is manifested in speech, appearance, dressing, gait, and physical condition, and can be developed by learning about oneself and capabilities, and gaining a positive attitude
- Persistence makes you keep moving forward regardless of emerging obstacles, problems, laziness, bad emotional state, etc.
- Managing stress helps combat stress that arises in daily life from the environment and other people
- Problem-solving skills help cope with problems encountered with a lack of experience

Uniqueness

- Uniqueness is a state or condition wherein someone or something is unlike anything else in comparison
- Understanding and accepting one's uniqueness and that of others leads to tolerance, acceptance, and better relationships
