WHY IS PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT

OF SETTING A CARRER LIFE GOALS?

This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY

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.
 What’s New

What is a Personal Mission Statement?

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 with different key ideas that will help you come up with a personal
statement. Write down words, phrases of statements that would describe
your answer/initial thoughts about each area/idea from the table below.

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 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.

What’s More

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. 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 I Can Do

Activity 4:

Finalize your Personal Mission Statement. It may include the following

information:

 Your name
 Your overall statement
 Who inspires you and why?
 What qualities you want to obtain
  What roles you play and how you want to be known in those roles
 Specific goals you have Beliefs that you hold
 Anything else you want to focus on.

What Is It

Factors affecting Personality Development.

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.
