PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
What is It
(Background Information for the Learner – Key Concepts)
Personal Relationships
The concept of relationship is very broad and complex. In our model, personal
relationships refer to close connections between people, formed by emotional bonds and
interactions. These bonds often grow from and are strengthened by mutual experiences.
Relationships aren’t static; they are continually evolving and to fully enjoy and benefit
from them we need skills, information, inspiration, practice, and social support.
⚫ Family (related by birth, marriage, or adoption, and who lived as one household)
⚫ Friends (a close tie between two people, mutual experiences, shared interests, and
emotional bonding)
⚫ Partnerships (built upon affection, trust, intimacy, and romantic love, e.g. marriage,
romantic partnerships)
Description
1. Relationship the way in which two or more people or concepts are
connected or in a state of being connected
2. Personal relationships refers to close connections between people (between friends,
lovers, and family members) exemplified by shared
understanding, mutual trust and social bonding
3. Love it is a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or
personal ties or affection based on admiration
2
4. Commitment the act of binding or engaging yourself to a course of action
5. Attraction the act, power, or property of attracting
6. Responsibility a form of trustworthiness
it is the trait of being answerable to someone for something or
being responsible for one’s conduct
On the other hand, low social support is linked to a number of health consequences,
such as:
⚫ Depression. Loneliness has long been commonly associated with depression. In a
research conducted in 2012, breast cancer patients found that those with fewer satisfying
social connections experienced higher levels of depression, pain, and fatigue.,
⚫ Decreased immune function. In the same study, there is a correlation between
loneliness and immune system dysregulation, meaning that a lack of social connections
can increase your chance of becoming sick.
3
⚫ Higher blood pressure. University of Chicago researchers who studied a group of 229
adults over five years found that loneliness could predict higher blood pressure even years
later, indicating that the effects of isolation have long lasting consequences.
A lack of relationships can cause multiple problems with physical, emotional, and
spiritual health.

You should take charge of your relationships and put in the time and energy you would
any other aspect of your wellbeing. How to develop your relationship skills?
⚫ Connect with your family
One of the biggest challenges for families to stay connected. Connecting with family
by letting little grievances go, spending time together, and expressing love and
compassion to one another.
⚫ Practice gratitude
Gratitude is one of the most accessible positive emotions, and its effects can
strengthen friendships and intimate relationships. (e.g. by saying “thank you”).
⚫ Learn to forgive
Choosing to forgive can bring about a variety of benefits, both physical and
emotional. It’s normal for disagreements or betrayal to arise in relationships, but your
choice about how to handle the hurt can have a powerful effect on the healing process.
⚫ Be compassionate
Compassion is the willingness to be open to yourself and others, even in painful
times, with a gentle, non-judgmental attitude. It is also, the practice of recognizing when
someone else is unhappy or whose needs aren’t being met and feeling motivated to
help them.
⚫ Accept others
It is also important to be accepting of the other person in the relationship. Try to
understand where the person is coming from rather than judge them. As you do for
yourself, have a realistic acceptance of the other’s strengths and weaknesses and
remember that change occurs over time.
⚫ Create rituals together
In order to nurture the closeness and support of friendship, you have to make an
effort to connect. (e.g. gatherings or trips, talking on the telephone, sharing walks in
every possible days, etc.)
⚫ Spend the right amount of time together
People who spend 6-7 hours per day socializing (which could mean hanging out
with friends, sharing meals with family, or even emailing a colleague) tend to be the
happiest. Knowing when to give your time to others and when to take some time for
yourself can be crucial in maintaining balanced, healthy relationships as well as emotional
well-being.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Learning Activity Module
Module 2: The Concepts About Social Influence, Group Leadership and
Followership
What Is It
(Background Information for the Learner – Key Concepts)
Concepts of Leadership
Leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an
effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never-ending process of self-study,
education, training, and experience. This guide will help you through that process. To inspire
your workers into higher levels of teamwork, there are certain things you must be, know and
do. These do not come naturally, but are acquired through continual work and study. Good
leaders are continually working and studying to improve their leadership skills; they are NOT
resting on their laurels.
Although your position as a manager, supervisor, lead, etc. gives you the authority to
accomplish certain tasks and objectives in the organization, this power does not make you a
leader, it simply makes you the boss. Leadership differs in that it makes the followers want to
achieve high goals, rather than simply bossing people around. Bass' (1989 & 1990) theory of
leadership states that there are three basic ways to explain how people become leaders. The
first two explain the leadership development for a small number of people. These theories are:
1. Some personality traits may lead people naturally into leadership roles. This is the
Trait Theory.
2. A crisis or important event may cause a person to rise to the occasion, which brings
out extraordinary leadership qualities in an ordinary person. This is the Great Events
Theory.
12
3. People can choose to become leaders. People can learn leadership skills. This is the
Transformational Leadership Theory. It is the most widely accepted theory today
and the premise on which this guide is based.
When a person is deciding if he/she respects you as a leader, he/she does not think about
your attributes, rather, he/she observes what you do so that he/she can know who you really
are. He/she uses this observation to tell if you are an honorable and trusted leader or a self-
serving person who misuses authority to look good and get promoted. Self-serving leaders
are not as effective because their employees only obey them, not follow them. They succeed
in many areas because they present a good image to their seniors at the expense of their
workers.
PRINCIPLES OF LEADERSHIP
To help you be, know, and do; (U.S. Army, 1973) follow these eleven principles of
leadership (later chapters in this guide expand on these and provide tools for implementing
them):
✓ Know yourself and seek self-improvement - In order to know yourself, you have to
understand you be, know, and do, attributes. Seeking self-improvement means
continually strengthening your attributes. This can be accomplished through self-study,
formal classes, reflection, and interacting with others.
13
✓ Be technically proficient - As a leader, you must know your job and have a solid
familiarity with your employees' tasks.
✓ Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions - Search for ways to guide
your organization to new heights. And when things go wrong, they always do sooner
or later - do not blame others. Analyze the situation, take corrective action, and move
on to the next challenge.
✓ Make sound and timely decisions - Use good problem solving, decision making, and
planning tools.
✓ Set the example - Be a good role model for your employees. They must not only hear
what they are expected to do, but also see. We must become the change we want to
see - Mahatma Gandhi
✓ Know your people and look out for their well-being - Know human nature and the
importance of sincerely caring for your workers.
✓ Keep your workers informed - Know how to communicate with not only them, but also
seniors and other key people.
✓ Develop a sense of responsibility in your workers - Help to develop good character
traits that will help them carry out their professional responsibilities.
✓ Ensure that tasks are understood, supervised, and accomplished - Communication is
the key to this responsibility.
✓ Train as a team - Although many so-called leaders call their organization,
department, section, etc. a team; they are not really teams...they are just a group of
people doing their jobs.
✓ Use the full capabilities of your organization - By developing a team spirit, you will be
able to employ your organization, department, section, etc. to its fullest capabilities.
FACTORS OF LEADERSHIP
There are four major factors in leadership:
Follower: Different people require different styles of leadership. For example, a new hire
requires more supervision than an experienced employee. A person who lacks motivation
requires a different approach than one with a high degree of motivation. You must know your
people! The fundamental starting point is having a good understanding of human nature, such
as needs, emotions, and motivation. You must come to know your employees be, know, and
do attributes.
Leader: You must have an honest understanding of who you are, what you know, and what
you can do. Also, note that it is the followers, not the leader who determines if a leader is
successful. If they do not trust in their leader, then they will be uninspired. To be successful
14
you have to convince your followers, not yourself or your superiors, that you are worthy of
being followed.
Communication: You lead through two-way communication. Much of it is nonverbal. For
instance, when you "set the example," that communicates to your people that you would not
ask them to perform anything that you would not be willing to do. What and how you
communicate either builds or harms the relationship between you and your employees.
Situation: All are different. What you do in one situation will not always work in another. You
must use your judgment to decide the best course of action and the leadership style needed
for each situation. For example, you may need to confront an employee for inappropriate
behavior, but if the confrontation is too late or too early, too harsh or too weak, then the results
may prove ineffective. Various forces will affect these factors. Examples of forces are your
relationship with your seniors, the skill of your people, the informal leaders within your
organization, and how your company is organized.
Attributes: If you are a leader who can be trusted, then those around you will grow to respect
you. To be such a leader, there is a Leadership Framework to guide you: BE KNOW DO
✓ BE a professional. Examples: Be loyal to the organization, perform selfless service,
take personal responsibility.
✓ BE a professional who possess good character traits. Examples: Honesty,
competence, candor, commitment, integrity, courage, straightforwardness,
imagination.
✓ KNOW the four factors of leadership - follower, leader, communication, situation.
✓ KNOW yourself. Examples: strengths and weakness of your character, knowledge,
and skills.
✓ KNOW human nature. Examples: Human needs, emotions, and how people respond
to stress.
✓ KNOW your job. Examples: be proficient and be able to train others in their tasks.
✓ KNOW your organization. Examples: where to go for help, its climate and culture,
who the unofficial leaders are.
✓ DO provide direction. Examples: goal setting, problem solving, decision making,
planning.
✓ DO implement. Examples: communicating, coordinating, supervising, evaluating.
✓ DO motivate. Examples: develop morale and esprit de corps in the organization, train,
coach, counsel.
Environment: Every organization has a particular work environment, which dictates to a
considerable degree how its leaders respond to problems and opportunities. This is brought
about by its heritage of past leaders and its present leaders. Goals, Values, and Concepts
Leaders exert influence on the environment via three types of actions:
15
• The goals and performance standards they establish.
• The values they establish for the organization.
• The business and people concept they establish.
Successful organizations have leaders who set high standards and goals across the entire
spectrum, such as strategies, market leadership, plans, meetings and presentations,
productivity, quality, and reliability. Values reflect the concern the organization has for its
employees, customers, investors, vendors, and surrounding community. These values define
the manner in how business will be conducted. Concepts define what products or services the
organization will offer and the methods and processes for conducting business.
These goals, values, and concepts make up the organization's "personality" or how the
organization is observed by both outsiders and insiders. This personality defines the roles,
relationships, rewards, and rites that take place.
Roles and Relationships: Roles are the positions that are defined by a set of expectations
about behavior of any job incumbent. Each role has a set of tasks and responsibilities that
may or may not be spelled out. Roles have a powerful effect on behavior for several reasons,
to include money being paid for the performance of the role, there is prestige attached to a
role, and a sense of accomplishment or challenge.
Culture and Climate: There are two distinct forces that dictate how to act within an
organization: culture and climate. Each organization has its own distinctive culture. It is a
combination of the founders, past leadership, current leadership, crises, events, history, and
size. This results in rites: the routines, rituals, and the "way we do things." These rites impact
individual behavior on what it takes to be in good standing (the norm) and directs the
appropriate behavior for each circumstance.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Learning Activity Module
Lesson 4: Family Structures and Legacies
What is It
(Background Information for the Learner – Key Concepts)
The family has always been the basic unit of society according to sociology. Our
development as individuals is greatly affected and influenced by it. From the perspective of
psychology, genetic and environmental influences within the family contribute to such
development. As each individual is unique, we also see how each family is unique from
others. That is another way of looking at the uniqueness of each individual member in the
family (P. &. Glenda D. Libed 2018).
This module will introduce you the types of family structure and how to create a
genogram in order to trace a certain physical, personality, or behavioural attributes
developed through generations.
You may hear your father or mother share what their family was like during his or her growing
years. Currently, family structure has dramatically changed. The following are some of the
family structures mentioned by Michelle Blessing, a mental health professional in the US.
1. Nuclear Family
• The nuclear family has always been identified as the ideal family. This type
consists of two parents and children. This is an ideal setting where the
children are raised with more stable home environment as parents assure
their balanced psychological well-being and emotional stability. Filipino
adolescents growing up in nuclear family have both parents to support their
growth and development and help them face their emotional problems and
identify crisis.
2. Single-Parent Family
9
• A single-parent family comprises of a solo parent raising the children. The
parent can either be a father or a mother who provides financial, emotional,
and other basic support to the children. Parenting in itself for this type of
structure is highly challenging as this may mean nobody shares the
responsibility and accountability of taking care of the children.
• Some adolescents from single-parent families are forced to get part-time jobs
at fast-food chains while studying to help their parent pay for tuition and other
bills. This may also mean less time to study or socialize with friends.
3. Extended Family
• The extended family is structure comprised of two parents, children, aunts,
uncles, grandparents or non-relatives living together under one roof. For
some Filipinos, having an extended family is a product of financial difficulties
faced by one or more extended members. Hence, they opt to live together to
support each other.
• Adolescents up in this kind of environment may realize how their childhood
years are filled with playmates and love and support from relatives, especially
grandparents. Adolescents may sometimes feel the need to go out of the
congested house filled with noise and activities. They may even be tempted
to spend more time outside the house in search of comfort and relaxation.
4. Step family
• A step family refers to two families being merged together due to the
marriage of a parent of one family to another. Thus, the new family is
comprised of the husband, wife, and children from previous partner. In other
countries, over 50% of marriages end up in divorce or separation.
• Adolescents living in step family arrangements may need more time to blend
with members of the other family. Parent play vital role in facilitating a
harmonious relationship among them, meeting all the children from two
marriages and discussing the plans for the entire “new” family. Adolescents
are highly sensitive to changes and their possible resistance to change can
be a challenge to both parents.
5. Grandparent Family
• A grand parent family is a type of family structure where grandparents take
on the role of parenting and nurturing the children. There can be varied
reasons why this happens such as death of the children’s parents,
abandonment, or the parents being unfit to provide for their children. For this
arrangement, grandparents may be pressured to provide financial assistance
to the children which may lead them continue working even after they retire.

What is it
Look at the picture below. These are the Igorot men of Cordillera playing their gongs
(Ganza) while dancing. This is a typical part of an Igorot wedding celebration. Any group of
people can pick up the gongs and get a dance going and it is all very spontaneous. The elders
as well as young ones enjoy playing the gongs and dancing.
When a man and a woman exchange vow to each other, they enter a sacred union
and lifelong commitment to a life-long partnership. Eventually, they build their own family. A
family is a socially recognized group joined by, marriage, blood or adoption that forms an
emotional connection and serves as a basic unit of society. All families have a set of beliefs,
values, and attitudes that are passed from generation to generation just like the Igorot wedding
celebration shown above.
Having good relationships in the family is important because our mental growth, well-
being, and stability all depend on our family. And it just feels good to be part of a warm and
loving family.
2
For a moment, have you ever stopped to think about the legacies of your family? Have
you ever planned to make each family member firmer and gentler with each other so to
develop a good relationship with them?
FAMILY LEGACIES
A legacy is something that is passed on to you from family that has been handed down
for generations including reputation, a heritage and even family property.
An emotional legacy is nurtured by parents. Nurturing takes time and care. Much like
building a home out of brick on a solid foundation so that it can withstand the storms of life. It
takes a lot of time and consistency to give your child a sense of emotional wholeness. Creating
and maintaining an environment that surrounds a child’s fragile spirit with the nourishment
required for healthy growth gives them security and emotional stability.
An emotional legacy endures. It is not quickly forgotten and will last throughout his or
her adult years. When a child reaches maturity, the end of their childhood experiences become
the beginning of their emotional legacy that continues throughout life.
3
The Social Legacy
The most appropriate time for social interaction and relationships can be demonstrated
more effectively at home. Children will learn lessons about respect, courtesy, love and
involvement. Thus, modeling as parents play a key role in passing on a strong social legacy.
Children need to gain the insights and social skills necessary to cultivate healthy and
stable relationships as they mature. They must learn to relate to family members, teachers,
peers and friends. Eventually, they must learn to relate to coworkers and many other types of
people.
➢ Respect
➢ Responsibility fostered by respect for themselves
➢ Unconditional love and acceptance by their parents, combined with conditional
acceptance
➢ The setting of social boundaries concerning how to relate to God, authority,
peers, the environment, and siblings
➢ Rules that are given within a loving relationship
A spiritual legacy is all about your relationship with God. Your spiritual legacy is like a
baton to pass on to the next generation even while you live. Your family, friends, classmates,
co-workers and neighbors can grab onto this baton and run with it now and long after your
portion of the race is finished.
Here are five things that predict whether your children will receive the spiritual legacy
a Christian parents desire. Do you:

Make family rules that clearly mention how every member should
behave and treat each other. For example, “We talk respectfully with everyone
in our family,” or “In our family, we help each other no matter what.” Such small

Learning Activity Module
Module 6: Career Development Concepts and Personal Life Goals
Name __________________________________________________ Q2W6
Section: Date:
What is It
(Background Information for the Learner – Key Concepts)
Education plays a vital role in shaping people to succeed. It gives us the opportunity
to become productive member of the society by acquiring all the necessary skills. We learn
how to meet challenges and overcome obstacles. We learn how to be flexible and adapt in
different situation or people we meet. People learn basic norms, rules, regulations, and values
of the society through education. Moreover, high quality education brings positive changes in
life.
Career is the integration of personality with work activities. More than just a series of
tasks or activities within work, career is a sequence of attitudes and behaviors that are
associated with work and that relate to one’s total life experience. Career, then, is closely
linked to life goals since the former can be the means towards achieving the later. Expert
would say that life goals are “internal representation of desired outcomes”. They go on to note
that goals are very helpful trying to understand person – his context and aspiration of the
future.
There are two types of life goals: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic goals involve “personal
growth, emotional intimacy and community service” while extrinsic goals include “financial
success, physical attractiveness, and social frame and/or popularity.” In understanding these
two types of life goals, experts hypothesized that life goals are those consistent with “human
nature and needs” which means these are things that are essential and absolutely necessary.
On the other hand extrinsic life goals are more influenced by society and culture, involving
“symbol of social status and positive evaluation of other people”.
Researchers conducted in this body of knowledge found that people who are more
preoccupied with intrinsic life goals tend to attain a more satisfied and happy life. They have
“higher levels of self-actualization and vitality, higher self-esteem and mind openness, and
fewer experiences of depression, anxiety, and general health problems.” Those who put
15
greater importance on extrinsic life goals, however, are at risk of having deteriorating well-
being if they ignore their innate needs. Experts advice that while extrinsic goals can very
well lead to satisfaction of basic needs, too much preoccupation to it may result in negative
well-being.
16
innate characteristics or influenced by the larger society. In choosing a career, personality
plays a very important role because it may dictate which line of work best suits a person. For
instance, a person who enjoys being alone, spending time with very few people, and engaging
in deep and intimate conversations may find jobs that do not require frequent and extensive
interaction with people as more appealing. An example of this may be working in a counselling
center or writing novels or songs. Those who enjoy dealing with people and handling large
crowds may prosper in jobs such as managing a company’s human resources or public
service.
Interests
Closely related to personality is interest. Basically, interest are sets of preferences in activities.
Interest are one person’s likes, things where he tends to spend most of his resources – time,
energy, and money. To demonstrate, there are people who are more interested in dealing with
things rather than with people. They are especially enthusiastic in interacting with machines
and making things work. These people may find a suitable careers as architects, mechanics,
engineers, medical technologies, and the like. Another group of people may be inclined to use
their intuition, mull over ideas, and do things in a more unstructured fashion. These people
may be suited to careers as long as songwriters, writer, designer, or actor. Those who are
more drawn to activities that require adventure, persistence, and risk-taking may find
happiness in careers as entrepreneurs, business executive, and politicians.
Skills
Skills also play a vital role in career suitability and, consequently, success. Skills are basically
a set of competencies a person has. These are mastery over some tasks that are useful in
performing bigger or more complicated jobs. This implies that skills may have started as
interest where a person has spent a significant amount of time to achieve a certain level of
proficiency. For example, a person who has a strong interest in sketching and spends hours
getting better at that task may develop a skill in designing landscapes and even buildings
which may point to a career in architecture. Skills take time to develop. It requires focus and
dedication.
A person’s career choice and life goal are greatly influenced by the interplay of his values,
personality, interests, and skills. His job satisfaction, sense of fulfillment, success at the
workplace, and general well-being may depend on how his choices are aligned with what he
believes to important, his personal disposition, inclinations, and competencies. It is important
to be aware of all of these personal factors to make wise decision for the future.
External Factors Influencing Career Choice
Family and societal expectations
Filipinos place great value in education. Parents strive hard to send their children to school
even if it means using most of their resources for this purpose. For many families, having a
17
college graduate can spell the difference between remaining in poverty and enjoying a
relatively comfortable life. When a person graduates, he is expected to land a good
opportunity. Whether expressed or implied, the graduate feels the need to immediately find a
job and start earning to support the family.
With the expectation – and sometimes pressure – from the family and the community, the
graduate is influenced to make career choices that can help improve the quality of their lives.
Many times, the fresh graduate is torn between choosing a career path that is consistent with
his passion but not very financially fulfilling ad one that is more lucrative or profitable but not
necessarily what he truly wants.
Firstborns usually carries the biggest burden. As the eldest child, he bears great responsibility
to look after his siblings to the point of actively supporting them financially, helping the parents
with household expenses.
Trends in employment
Current trends in employment also affect career choices of the fresh graduates. For instance
jobs known to pay higher are more likely chosen by the young people because of its economic
value. That table below shows the highest paying jobs for fresh graduates according to
Jobstreet as reported by Rappler.
18
junior technical support representative
There are also available data about industries or field that hired fresh graduates in 2015. It
may be observed that the top three jobs giving the highest average month salaries are IT-
related jobs, those are related to statistics, and legal services.
Further, it is also noted that 57% of jobs for fresh graduates come from the BPO industry
where 6 out 10 jobs in this industry are offered to the newbies.

Telecommunication 2,719

according to Jobstreet as reported by CNN

5 Training & Development Costumer Service
6 Public relations/ Communication Banking/Financial Services
7 Banking/Financial Services Human Resources
8 Arts/Creatives Training & Development
9 Finance Engineering
10 Marketing/Business Development Marketing/Business Development
It was observed that the field of information Technology (IT) continued its “three-year trend of
providing the highest-paying jobs across all position level.” Further, callcenter or BPOs are on
19
the top spot of employers among the above-mentioned industries followed by retail and
merchandise, manufacturing, and production sectors.
Career choices are also influence by current trends in the workplace and job market. For
instance, the boom of nursing and other healthcare professions during the early 2000s brought
forth increased interest in taking college nurses related to them. The trend arched throughout
the years with growing needs from different countries. Another observed trend was the growth
of the information technology (IT) industry where computer savvy professionals where in
demand.
Currently, the businesses process outsourcing (BPO) industry has taken the center stage by
opening thousands of opportunities for fresh graduates regardless of their academic training.
Further, there is also a steadily growing movement to boost the interest of people, especially
the young ones, to engage in businesses or enterprises. This is revolutionary since the current
education system is more prepared toward producing employment-ready graduates rather
than business starters.

What it is
(Background Information for the Learner – Key Concepts)
Career plan is a map that a person uses in planning where he wants to be in the future
in terms of his profession or career. This process entails deep understanding of self and strong
drive to pursue one’s aspiration. Self-awareness is the most crucial part since a person will
determine his strength, areas for improvement, personal values, personality type, interest and
skills. There has to be a clear preference to consciously set direction such as the nature of
work, kind of workplace, type of superior and colleague he wants to work with.
Values. Values are one’s internal compass. They are set of self-motivators that indicate or
consider the most important in life. They are most of the time the standards used by a person
in making important decisions in life.
Personality. Personality is the sum total of one’s complex set of tendencies, behavior,
attitudes and characteristics that makes a person unique. This may be attributed to innate
characteristics or influenced by the larger society.
Interest. Interests are sets of preferences in activities. They are usually one’s persons likes,
things where he tends to spend most of his resources, time, energy and money.
Skills. Skills are sets of competencies a person has. These are mastery over some tasks that
are useful in performing bigger or more complicated jobs. This implies that skills have started
as interest where a person has spent a significant amount of time to achieve a certain level of
proficiency.
Family and peer influence. Education is important for Filipino families. The parent work hard
for better education of their children. One of the challenging parts of being a parent is when
2
their child reaches collegiate level due to overwhelming expenses and at the same time there
is a pride and honor when their child finishes bachelor’s degree. On the other hand, the
children are pressured in selecting what career they will choose. As to whether they will pursue
the field of their interest or they will choose what their parents want them to take up to earn
more in order to provide for the family.
Peer pressure is generally attributed to the influence exerted by a peer group in encouraging
a person to change his or her attitudes, values, or behavior in order to conform to group norms.
It can have both the negative and the positive side. It has a deep impact on one's decision
making ability, especially when it comes to choosing a course or a career path. At times leads
to the ‘herding concept', wherein one follows the group blindly, without having a clear
understanding of the consequences and assessing his or her strengths and weaknesses.
A person’s career choice and life goals are greatly influenced by the interplay of his values,
personality, interest, skills, family and peer influence. His job satisfaction, sense of fulfillment,
success at the workplace and general well-being may depend on his choices and are aligned
with what he believes to be important.

Learning Activity Module
Module 8: Insights into One’s Personal Development
Name __________________________________________________ Q2W8
Section: Date:
What is it
(Background Information for the Learner – Key Concepts)
What’s your life mission? It’s not an easy question to answer, but an important
one. You can talk about your aspirations and goals all day, but when you write them,
they become, well, more real. It’s a starting point to living the life you want. When
you write a personal mission statement, you’re clarifying what you want to
accomplish and how, and committing to it. Businesses and nonprofit organizations
develop mission statements for the same reason.
What is a personal mission statement?
Personal mission statements is more than just your goals. Your mission
statement will help you sort out your priorities and how you want to live your life. It
may include short-term and long-term goals, or life-long aspirations. It becomes a
guide and provides direction, which comes from you, not someone else.
The Importance of Personal Development Factors in Career Decisions and More
Personal development factors are valuable in making career choices. It is
difficult for someone to enter into a career pressured by outside factors. When a
career in nursing was popular many years ago due to a high demand in the
international job market, many parents forced their sons and daughters to engage in
the profession despite the lack of interest and personal factors that match the
demand of the profession. What was given high value was earning more due to the
idea of living a comfortable life that the parents visualized for themselves and their
children.
There is nothing wrong with visualizing a comfortable life. However, the
individual must look within himself or herself to discover his or her true ambitions
and life goals. Among all other personal factors, there is that inner space and voice
that one needs to listen to. That is the voice that tells each of us which path to take
to fulfill one’s mission. Thus, parents have to respect and support their son’s and
10
daughter’s in their decisions. Each one is called to tread on a path for a purpose. It
cannot just be all about earning money.
Creative Visualization
Visualization refers to the process of looking forward and seeing your desires
and aspirations happening. Our mind and imagination can go as far as you allow it
to explore and its creativity is beyond limit. You could visualize yourself as a
millionaire owning huge properties, cars, businesses or even richer than Bill Gates
and Manny Pacquiao. You can visualize yourself singing like Beyonce or Regine
Velasquez. You can paint even if reality says you don’t know how.
You may have gone through different challenges and stressors in your life as
you shared in the previous lessons. However, you could pick yourself up and find
hope and promise for the future. Being positive about life counts a lot. The process
of visualization empowers you and help you face such challenge in the future. You
can become the person you visualize.
Bo Sanchez, in his book 8 Secrets of the Truly Rich, shared his “True
Millionaire’s Prayer” to help you realize what it really means to be rich:

Making a Firm Stand on Career Choices
Career choice should be taken seriously. Many professionals choose their
course program in college and find out later that they are not happy with it. Taking
a firm stand comes from a full knowledge of self and different options for career. But
more than anything, it is important to listen and follow one’s heart. According to Bo
Sanchez, the truly rich person knows how to give. Part of his intention to be rich is
to reach out to those who may need them.
Thus, the desire for riches and success in life should not only serve one’s
purpose. It should not be for popularity and inflating our egos. The essential truth
about having a career is to partake in the mission of serving others.
Development means a state of being developed or progression into higher and
much better standards. Applying this concept to personal development illustrates a
goal of a much better and improved version of oneself. This will help you in your
journey towards discovery and growth in the person.
Go, grow, and glow. Shine like that beautiful star shedding some light and be
a good role model to other adolescents. Choose your path wisely and make a
difference in the lives of other people especially when you practice your career
someday.
