Personal Development

By
Welcome back,

 Guys in my last post we have discussed about Youth empowerment. 

 Today we are going to discuss about Personal development in detail. Here you have to answer yourself two questions:


What are your values?
What do you love doing?

Did you ever think about which values are important to you and guiding principles in your life. Which values are less important to you?

It is very common to hear from career experts that you should define your values first, before deciding your career. This sounds pretty easy but you cannot define your values before knowing what they are. Different peoples have different values and these values often determine the things that they do and love. Values strongly had believes that you might not know you have.

Our Family
Our Friends
Our Community
Our Experience

These all contribute towards our values.

Who we are?
and
How we see the world?

We often tends to think that our believes are based on our reality. But it is actually that the believes are leading our experiences. The believes that we hold are important part of our Identity. They may be motivated by the Religion, Culture or Morals. Believes are precious because they reflect who we are and how we live our lives.

Lets get back to our values and discuss more about them.  There are some values that you pick up from childhood and some come along the way. The values guide you through out your life weather you are aware of them or not. Values affect our decision making and influence our big life choices. Values affects your behavior and values affects your overall happiness.

How to test  yourself and find out most important values and priorities in life?

If you have all your values listed on a paper it won't be easy to decide which is more valued than others. 

 Have you ever noticed which are the values you appreciated the most write them on a paper.

 for example:

 Equality
Diversity
Justice
Family Life
Tradition
Health
Security
and many more.....

 You can end up with a long list of values. But it is fine. You don't need to consider all the values. Just concentrate on those values which best defines you. 

 Complete list is provided below you can select your top 10 from here.


To Identify your best values do a value development exercise. Follow the following steps.
  • Identify three to five values which are more important to you from the above list of your appreciated values.
  • Try to answer the following questions in the comments below:
  1. Why this value is important to you?
  2. Recall the moment in your life when you lived up this value. what actions did you exhibit that support this value?
  3. How you react if this value is not being honored by others? Describe your feelings, thoughts and  actions.
For further details complete the exercise and wait for my next post...

Building and Articulating Career Path

By
Welcome Back, In last post we discussed on how can we discover our professional self . But discovering yourself on social, general and professional aspects is not all you need to have. When you leave your institution and go out looking for a job and finding your career you will find the term C.V. quite a lot. sadly some institutions are so focused on your academic performance that they forget to prepare you for the big wide world of work. Many students are unaware of how to write a good C.V. A good C.V. reflects the soul of your past experiences. You might have experience in different field which are important to you. Remember don't use same C.V. for different job opportunities. Rather try to elaborate only those parts of your experiences which are relevant to the job you are applying for. You can search for the details of job on their websites, twitter accounts, etc. Study the job requirement and prepare your C.V. accordingly. ...

Community Development

By
Welcome Back, In my last posts we have discussed about our personal and professional development. But this is not sufficient to be successful in your career. In addition we should be aware of community development. Today we discuss about what is community development and how can we make an impact? Now, when you are aware of what personal values are and how you can do self development. Let's move on to the world around you. Think on about the people around you. Such as your neighbors, friends, Old people playing chess in garden, and so many. What you can do for them? What you can do for your Community?  What do we understand by the term community? There are many definitions of term community in various different dictionaries. In general the term community is defined as "A group of people that live in the same area but are also united because of the same interest, religion or may be any other social feature".
