Self Improvement
Self improvement is something that everyone should be
constantly and consistently striving for. It is one of the most
important factors in becoming a successful student as well as
being a well rounded individual and member of society. Self
improvement by definition is the improvement of one’s
knowledge, status , or character by one’s own efforts.
For me personally I like to break down self improvement into 2
areas 1. Desire and 2. Self awareness . We could all agree that if
someone does not have the desire or feel the need to change
something within themselves then that change would simply not
occur. Before action could be taken self-improvement always
starts with the mindset. We, as students, have to look within
ourselves and Identify the flaws that we would like to work on
and improve on with that awareness of our imperfections and
having the desire to work on them and change them is when
true self improvement will occur.
Personal growth and self improvement are very closely
related to each other. Personal growth is a process of both
understanding yourself and pushing yourself to reach your
highest potential. I truly believe that everyone in this classroom,
with hard work and dedication could reach his highest potential
at the end of the day we all want to become successful, but it all
comes down to the mindset and the attitude towards what you
want to develop, whether it be your attitude towards school work,
your work ethic or even your behaviour.
No matter what your friends tell you or our teachers or even
your parents you have to make that decision to strive for
excellence for yourself nobody else could make you want that.
Positive affirmations really help to push you, for me I try to wake
up every morning and tell myself that today I will be better than I
was yesterday so I could have myself in a constant cycle of
development and could start my day with a good mindset that
would carry me throughout the greatest competitor for you is
yourself.
Setting goals for yourself is a great way to help keep yourself
organise the things you want to accomplish but it must start
from today with all of us, to make up our minds on what we want
to achieve but we must have that desire and determination to
carry it out. We all have imperfections. Nobody is perfect but that
doesn't give us the excuse to slack off and not give our 100%. It is
time to be serious about our goals and aspirations as now is the
time to gear up so to speak. I have a dream that from today
everyone in this classroom would strive to become the best
versions of themselves and not only make our teachers proud or
parents proud but also to make ourselves proud of how far we
have come.
