Look at the results of your self-concept inventory and answer the following questions. 1. In what areas do you consider yourself strong (with score 14-16 or somewhat weak (score of 10-13) and very weak (below 10)? 2. Are there qualities you consider as your weakness but other people consider as your strength? What are these? Check with a partner. Example: A lady can say “I`m ugly” yet others consider her very charming. Or conversely, one can have the illusion of saying “I am very intelligent or competent” when most of his ideas sound unreasonable or illogical to most of the people. There is indeed a big difference between what you see in yourself (real self-image) and what is projected in the eyes of the others (your social image). How realistic is your self- image? To what extent does it reflect your real self?  Lesson 1: Knowing Oneself , Understanding Oneself during Middle and Late Adolescence Imagine yourself looking into a mirror. What do you see? Do you see your ideal self or your actual self ? Your ideal self is the self that you aspire to be. It is the one that you hope will possess characteristics similar to that of a mentor or some other worldly figure. The ideal self, is how we want to be. It is an idealized image that we have developed over time, based on what we have learned and experienced. Your actual self is the one that you actually see. The actual self is who we actually are. It is how we think, how we feel, look, and act. The actual self can be seen by others, but because we have no way of truly knowing how others view us, the actual self is our self-image. The actual self and the ideal self are two broad categories of self-concept. Self-concept is the ways you see yourself, influenced by your experiences, by what people say to you, and by what you say to yourself. Negative messages result when a person focuses too heavily on their weaknesses and lose sight of their strengths. They lose confidence in themselves and may stop Positive messages involve focusing on the encouraging and positive messages you receive from people you trust. Self-esteem - it is a confidence and satisfaction in oneself. Your self-esteem is the value or importance you place on yourself. If you like yourself and have a positive self-concept, you will have high self-esteem. People who dislike the picture they have of themselves have to struggle with low self-esteem. You can give your self-esteem a boost by trying these: 1. Learn to accept praise. 2. Focus on your strengths. 3. Accept yourself as you are. 4. Learn from your mistakes. 5. Use your strengths to help others. 6. Take responsibility for your own life.  Personal Effectivenes s Personal effectiveness means making use of all the personal resources –talents, skills, energy and time, to enable you to achieve life goals. Your knowledge of yourself and how you manage yourself impacts directly on your personal effectiveness. These are just some, but the most important personal effectiveness skills which make the achievement of any goal easier and less costly: 1. Determination It allows you to focus only on achieving a specific goal without being distracted by less important things or spontaneous desires. It may be developed with the help of self-discipline exercise. 2. Self-confidence It is manifested in speech, appearance, dressing, gait, and physical condition. To develop it, you need to learn yourself and your capabilities, gain positive attitude and believe that by performing right actions and achieving right goals you will certainly reach success. 3. Persistence It makes you keep moving forward regardless of emerging obstacles – problems, laziness, bad emotional state, etc. It reduces the costs of overcoming obstacles. It can also be developed with the help of self- discipline exercise. 4. Managing stress It helps combat stress that arises in daily life from the environment and other people. 5. Problem-solving skills They help cope with the problems encountered with a lack of experience. It increases efficiency by adopting new ways of achieving goals when obtaining a new experience. 6.Creativity It allows you to find extraordinary ways to carry out a specific action that no one has tried to use. 7. Generating ideas It helps you achieve goals using new, original, unconventional ideas. For generating ideas you can use a method of mental maps, which allows you to materialize, visualize and scrutinize all your ideas, which in turn contributes to the emergence of new ideas. Build On Your Strengths And Work On Your Weaknesses Instead of simply focusing on your weaknesses, recognize your own talents and abilities, build on them, utilize them to your greatest advantage.  PERFORMANCE TASK #1 Who Am I? 1.
