1. FOUNDATION OF SELF – DISCIPLINE AND PATRIOTISM (Reported by Mark Rhoid R.


Eleria)

Self-discipline is the capacity to exert self-control and force oneself to work hard
or behave in a certain way without the assistance of another person. It takes a lot of
self-control to exercise by yourself. Every day, we can practice self-discipline in a variety
of ways. These three styles of discipline—active, reactive, and proactive—are illustrated
through instances. Active discipline is carrying out the necessary tasks right away, such
as eating a balanced breakfast, avoiding distractions while studying, and exercising.
When coping with unforeseen circumstances like getting a flat tire on the way to work,
dealing with a rude individual, or locking your car keys inside, reactive discipline refers
to managing your thoughts or behaviors. In order to better control a situation, proactive
discipline involves taking action in advance. Examples include packing an umbrella for a
wet day, making a to-do list, and getting to bed on time. Therefore, lack of self-control
prevents us from achieving our goals, and a lack of self-control strategies leads us to
veer from our vision.

In addition, Patriotism is a sentiment that is similar to love in that it is a sense of


pride, fidelity, and loyalty to one's country as well as a sense of commitment to other
patriotic individuals. Further connections between the attachment sensations and
elements like race or ethnicity, culture, religion, or history may exist. While nationalism
and patriotism were originally seen as synonyms, they now have diverse meanings. The
values on which both feelings are built are significantly different, despite the fact that
both are people's feelings of love for their nation. The basis of nationalism, on the other
hand, is the conviction that one's nation is superior to all others. It also conveys a
message of suspicion or contempt toward other nations, causing one to believe that
they are competitors.

2. INSIGHTS ON SELF – DISCIPLINE AND PATRIOTISM

You may remain committed to your objectives by exercising self-discipline. You


can maintain self-discipline and control over how you respond to every circumstance.
Like a muscle, self-control gets stronger the more you exercise it. Low self-esteem may
result from a lack of self-control. Making intelligent decisions is a key component of self-
discipline. How disciplined you are affects everything, including how much exercise you
get. When paired with goal-setting, enthusiasm, and planning, self-discipline becomes
incredibly effective.

Patriotism is first and foremost an idea that unites individuals. A feeling that
unites is a sense of community and affection for our nation. We all want to do what is
best for the country as a whole and support each other in this endeavor. A person's love
of their country can include a variety of cultural, political, traditional, or historical facets
of their country. Affection for one's country is one way that patriotism is defined. Love
for one's countrymen and the desire to coexist in peace with everyone, regardless of
gender, ethnicity, color, or religion, are two characteristics of patriotism. Without also
loving its citizens, we cannot truly love our nation. The success and development of the
country can only result from the people's togetherness and oneness. Serving the nation
is another aspect of patriotism. It involves proactively offering to help the country and
its citizens whenever necessary. It involves following the law and being a responsible
citizen.

3. POSITIVE VALUES AND SELF-RECOGNITION AS FILIPINO (Reported by Justine Therese


M. Rica)

People's relationships, habits, choices, and sense of self are shaped by their
values. Positive values not only prevent harmful behaviors in people but also direct their
day-to-day interactions and actions. Because of this, values must motivate rather than
merely forbid. Positive values increase a person's likelihood of listening to their
conscience, helping others, being independent, recognizing right from wrong, and
figuring out how to be happy. Individuals are more likely to grow up healthy as they
establish more positive beliefs that serve as a guide for their behavior, according to
research. In the category of Positive Values, The Search Institute has identified six
essential components that are essential for assisting people in succeeding: caring,
equality and social justice, integrity, honesty, responsibility, and restraint. Therefore,
good values encourage people to think for themselves rather than just copying others
or following passing trends.

Self-recognition on the other hand, is recognizing one's "self" as distinct from


others. The term "self" refers to a variety of distinct and separate modalities (such as
physical, emotional, and psychological). Self-related characteristics are often divided
into two categories: physical and psychological. In contrast to psychological features,
which encompass a variety of cognitive constructs including personality traits and
subjective viewpoints, physical components of the self (such as the face) often allude to
material embodiments of the self and consciousness of personal agency (Gillihan and
Farah 2005). Self-recognition is a key early developmental indicator as well as a
measure of self-awareness.

We can see our sense of good and wrong in our values. They aid in our personal
development. They assist us in building the future we want. Our daily decisions are an
expression of our ideals. Values accomplish a lot more. They support human development
and growth. They inspire us, make it worthwhile for us to wake up each day, and give our
life purpose. Like a compass, values give our lives purpose and direction. Whatever is
happening in our life, our values can point the way forward and guide our decision-making.
Living in accordance with our ideals directly affects how we perceive ourselves. We typically
feel happier, more self-assured, and more gratified when our actions are in line with our
beliefs. According to research, simply reflecting on our principles lowers our stress levels
and makes us feel happier.
Self- recognition on the other hand is understanding what makes you tick as a part
of knowing yourself. It entails determining your priorities, your talents and limitations, as
well as your behaviors, inclinations, and cognitive processes. We can identify our strengths
and flaws when we are self-aware. Setting objectives for ourselves is made easier by this
awareness. We are aware of our areas for improvement, which is good. Our abilities to
strengthen our deficiencies are made more assured by our strengths. Without self-
awareness, we could develop a fixed mindset and be less inclined to seize possibilities for
growth.
