What I Need to Know

WHY IS PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF SETTING A

CARRER LIFE GOALS?

by Unknown Author is licensed under

Brazilian author Paolo Coelho, in his book “The Alchemist”, introduced the idea of
one’s Personal Legend as “what you have always wanted to accomplish”. At this point in
your life, have you thought of the mission that you were placed in this world to fulfill and
live out? Have you started figuring out what that mission is? This is probably a difficult
thing to ponder on considering that you have your whole life ahead of you waiting to be
explored.

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
down, 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.

We can all talk about our dreams and goals in life, but it is said that when we write
them down, they begin to become more concrete and real. Our task this session is to
come up with your Personal Mission Statement using everything you have learned about
yourself from all the previous learning experiences.

Most students, and adults, don’t realize the importance of writing their personal
mission statements. It’s 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.

Activity 1:

Imagine your teacher presents to the class a set of cards. This card is labeled

What Is It

What Is a Personal Mission Statement?

A personal mission statement defines who you are as a person (or as a team
member where you work) and identifies your purpose, whether that’s in the office or
simply in life. It explains how you aim to pursue that purpose, and why it matters so
much to you.
Author and career coach Dan Miller say a good mission statement should include three
things:
1. Your skills and abilities (what you like to do)
2. Your personality traits (how you operate)
3. Your values, dreams and passions (why you want to excel)

Why a Personal Mission Statement Is Useful?

Crafting a personal mission statement will serve you well in life. it helps you focus
on how to meet your long-term goals. It serves as a guidepost for where you want to go
in life.

How to Write a Personal Mission Statement

Once they’re written, a personal mission statements seem simple. But if they’re
done well, they require a lot of effort to create. Think about your life principles and
goals. Why did you set these goals? How do your goals make you a better person? The
mission statement should answer these questions in 50 words or less, so try to get to the
heart of who you are and exclude unnecessary details. Don’t worry if your statement

 lOMoARcPSD|30181818

doesn’t mirror someone else’s—every statement is different because no two people are
the same.
Once you have a written mission statement, start using it. Frame it and put a copy
in your home so you see it often. You want to surround yourself with your own positive
attitude.
Not only should you live according to your personal mission statement, but it’s
also important others know about it as well. Accountability from those closest to you will
help you stick to it.

Activity 2: Crafting a Personal Mission Statement

Assuming you have in your hands the cards with the key ideas from activity 1
(which you have probably answered by now). Arrange those cards by order of how you
want to present your personal statement. Lay down those cards one by one and you
may choose to highlight or even disregard some of the cards.
After you have finally made a choice of which of the cards/items to include and the
arrangement as to how you will be presenting the ideas, you will write out your Personal
Mission Statement using the arrange cards as your guide

Here are some examples of Personal Mission Statement;

 My Goal revolves around sharpening and effectively using my skills in a

competitive environment. Growing as a student and growing along with the
institution, that I choose to be a part of, occupy important slots in my list of
priorities.

 I wish to learn from, excel in and go beyond every challenge I face in life. Every
opportunity in life, including this one, must be used with diligence and hard work.
This, I believe, is the only thing that can help me achieve success.

 To treasure, above all else, the opportunities that come my way and to make the
best use of them; to focus on academics, without really making compromises on
extra-curricular activities. I’m also looking forward to being the kind of student who
contributes not only to the growth of the institution, but also to the growth of the
less privileged sections of society.

 As a student, I’ve always been known to give every task I take up, my best shot.
This, I believe, is where my greatest strength lies. I’m yearning to belong to an
institution that recognizes this quality in me and helps me make the best use of it.

 lOMoARcPSD|30181818

For in the end, it doesn’t really matter if you are smart or not, what matters is that
you give everything and take up all you can, and success comes by default.

 A hardworking, dedicated, disciplined, creative and focused student, looking to be

a part of a respectable institution, where the mind knows no boundaries and the
heart knows no fear. An institution such as this, I believe, can bring out the best in
me while also helping me grow from strength to strength.

 To be absorbed by an educational institution in which my knowledge, skills and

passions will be put to good use; to be the kind of student who bridges the gap
between the process of learning and the idea of having fun while going about it.

 I believe that success comes your way if you know where to look for it. For me,
the sky has always been the limit. I am an ambitious student, not willing to be
held back by mediocre challenges. An institution which is willing to fuel my
ambitions and desire for success is the kind of institution I want to belong to.

What I Have Learned

Activity 3: What is your Personal Mission Statement?

There is no right or wrong way to approach your personal mission statement, or

what it should include. Everyone’s is going to be different. What is important is to write it
down. Topics of your personal mission statement may include:

 Education
 Career
 Personal attributes, such as honesty, loyalty and dedication.
 Family and personal relationships
 How you have to leave your life
 Sports
 Faith and Spirituality
 Community Service

Sample Personal Mission Statements:

 Benjamin Franklin opted for a list of concepts and then wrote his thoughts about
each to form his mission statement. “Temperance: Eat not to dullness; drink not to
elevation. Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling
conversation. Order: Let all your things have their places; let each part of your
business have its time. Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought; perform
without fail what you resolve...”

 Gandhi wrote his mission statement using active phrases such as “I will” or “I
shall. “...I shall not bear ill will toward anyone. I shall not submit to injustice from
anyone. I shall conquer untruth by truth...”

What’s In

Factors affecting Personality Development.

Downloaded by chael dagatan ([email protected])
 lOMoARcPSD|30181818

We us individuals display characters that enable us to describe our behavior; this

behavior denotes our personality. According to Farrant (1964) personality is defined as
the projections of us to the others, while Maynard (1976) defined personality as the sum
total of individual traits in which a person expresses him or herself differently.

As you have finished writing down your personal statement, it is also important to
learn more about how an individual develops his/her own personality. Personality is
simply the relative stable or organization of a person’s motivational disposition. There are
different factors that affects our personality development. The first factor is heredity .
According to Roberts (2010), heredity provides the child with certain endowments;
heredity factors may be summed up as constitutional, biological and psychological
factors. ` consist of the nervous system, glands and blood chemistry, which determines
our characteristics and habitual modes of behavior. These factors form the biological
bases of our personality.

Environmental factors play a vital role in the development of personality.

According to Louw (1997) it is emphasized that the personality of the individual develops
in a social environment. Physical environment includes the influence of climatic condition
of a particular area or country where a person lives. In the Philippines we only have two
seasons, namely the rainy season and the dry season. This includes the typhoons that
regularly visits our country and devastates our way of living, but somehow, we manage
overcome those challenges especially in this time of pandemic. We learn to live there.
Hence, the social environment has an important say of our personality.

Family environment also plays a vital role in our personality development. Family
is the cradle of all social virtues, thus what you become as a person depends on how
your parent raised you as a child. The type of training and early childhood experiences
received from the family plays an important role in the development of personality.
Cultural environment is another factor, cultural traditions, ideals and family values which
are accepted in a particular society. All these factors leave’s a character trait on your
personality as a person.

Another factor is the school environment since it plays an important part in

molding the personality of a student like you. The school poses new problem to be
solved, new taboos to be accepted into the superego, and new models or behaviors to
observed or imitated (positive or negative values). This are challenges that a student
must face while in school and somehow affects his/her personality as a person.
Some good personality development tips at a glance:
 Keep a smart head and keep cool.
 Don’t Copy anyone.
 Create your own personal style
 Don’t doubt yourself
 Be an active Listener
 Learn to have patience and focus on your communication skills. Be polite and
gentle with your words.
 You should look smart when you dress up or be executive when you dress.
 Don’t shout or be aggressive.
 Be more passionate about your work and be optimistic.
 Accept and Recognize Your Weak Points
 Learn to appreciate others. It helps the same qualities to be grown in us too.

environmental factors which according to Louw (1997), it is emphasized that the
personality of the individual develops in a social environment. Meaning, it is the
social environment that he/she comes to have moral ideas, social attitudes and
interest, thus enable him/her to develop as a social self.

Family is considered the cradle of all social virtues. Your personality also
depends on how you were raised by your parents as a child. Cultural environment is
another factor where cultural traditions, ideals, values which are accepted in a
particular society and leave a permanent impression on your personality as well.
School environment likewise plays an important role in molding you as a person
