Hazel Angeles (2016) claimed that man’s emotions shape his personality.
He needs to establish emotional stability to develop his whole person. She also
emphasized that man needs to develop his physical health through eating the
right food and regular exercise. At the same time, he needs to enhance his
spiritual relationship and connection with the world around him through prayers
and meditations. Prayers are said to promote compassion, positive relationship
and sense of purpose, honesty, optimism and inner peace.
Subsequently, man has to cultivate his social relationship, interaction with
others as social being and psychologically portray certain image of himself to
others. Finally, he needs to manage his professional life and happiness because
these two are closely linked. Man should know how to manage time and stress.
