DISCUSSION
As an adolescent,
it is undeniable
that during this
year, you find it
most important to
know yourselves
deeper.
DISCUSSION
You most of the
time find yourself
asking ‘what do you
really want’ or ‘why
do you really like
doing these things
or being with these
people’.
DISCUSSION
You may find it queer
that you are starting
to ask yourself
questions but you’ve
got to understand that
you are not the only
person who

are experiencing is just
normal. Now that you are in
your middle or late
adolescence, we can say
that you may have
discovered changes in your
life, or in your behavior or
attitude that compel you to

process of discovering
oneself by realizing
one's potentials and
capabilities that are
shaped over time
either by studying in a
formal school or

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
On the

examining yourself,
most specifically
how you react on
things, your belief,
traits, and values is
one of the most
complicated things

You have to
understand,
though, that it is
not that simple.
In fact, it follows
a process.
 KNOW
THYSELF
Know Thyself
“An unexamined life is
not worth living”,
this is one of the
famous lines once
uttered by one of
the greatest
philosophers of
Ancient Greek,
SOCRATES.
Know Thyself
“Know Thyself”
is an old maxim or
aphorism which in time
has been used in varied
literature and
consequently gained
different meanings.
Know Thyself
“Know Thyself”
One of its meanings is
recorded in the Greek
encyclopedia of
knowledge called “The
Suda”.
Know Thyself
MAXIM / APHORISM
A maxim is defined as a "short rule of
conduct"; "a stitch in time saves nine"
and "look before you leap" are given
as examples. It defines an aphorism
as "a short sentence expressing a
general truth, piece of practical
wisdom, or the like."
Know Thyself
Thomas Hobbes also
discussed his own views
about the maxim from
which he used the phrase
“read thyself” in his famous
work The Leviathan.
Know Thyself
Thus, this statement
leads us to the realization
that knowing oneself is
the open door that leads
us to knowing others
better.
It is a form of

idea about

his/her unique

perception about

This theory began as
Rene Descartes, the
Father of Modern
Philosophy, proposed
his theory that a
person’s existence
depends on his/her
perception. Rene
Descartes stated that
mind is the seat of

This means that it is
in the mind that we
know everything
about ourselves like
our identity,
passion, interest,
feelings, and/or
intellect, thus
everything that we
are comes from the

no individual is
born with self-

1. Self concept is
This means that self-concept
LEARNED
can only be acquired as soon
as the person learns how to
mingle with others and so this
indicates that self-concept is
influenced by the person’s
environment and can be a
product of the person’s

2. Self concept is
ORGANIZED
This stresses out
that one’s
perception
towards
himself/herself is
firm.

This means that a is
person ORGANIZED
may hear other
people’s point of view
regarding
himself/herself but will
keep on believing that
what he/she thinks of

Change on one’s perceptions
towards himself/herself,
however, may also be possible
but it takes time.

The Id. Freud
ID
explained that
man's personality is
driven by pleasure
principle. This
means that the
nature of Id is to
satisfy man's desire
without thinking
 ID
This nature is
being developed
at a young age or
present from
birth. To illustrate
this idea let us
take this as an
 ID
An infant will cry if
he/she wants to be
fed to satisfy his/her
hunger. Definitely,
an infant cannot
exactly explain what
 ID
Also, infants do grab
things and would want
to get things on their
hands not minding if
they hurt nor if they are
important or not. All
they want is to get them
 ID
This is the nature of Id,
when the id wants it the
rest are no longer
important. However,
this instinct is
controlled by the ego
and superego as these
aspects are developed
EGO
The Ego. This is the
second component of the
personality that is
developed at
approximately the age of
three. This operates
according to reality which
makes it possible for the
Id to work in a more
proper and satisfactory
EGO
The ego will give a
more socially
accepted means of
getting the desires
and wants of a
person without
getting to hurt
EGO
In other words, it is
the job of the ego to
provide a man some
guidelines on how to
behave accordingly
while he fulfilled his
pleasure.
EGO
This component of
our personality is
manifested
whenever we try to
satisfy our cravings
without
compromising our
self-image to
Freud believed that this
SUPEREGO
aspect of man begins to
manifest as a child turns

component of
personality which holds
our moral judgments or
concept of right and
wrong that are believed
to be acquired from the
SUPEREGO
This personality is developed
as man learns the culture of
distinguishing right from
wrong based on the set of
guidelines and standards that
are known to people which
might have been probably
imposed by the people in the
community like parents,
teachers, elders or the
