LESSON 1: KNOWING ONESELF
Knowing oneself is important for every person to be able to accept one’s strengths and
limitations. It gives us the view on what weaknesses we need to work on for better us.
What’s New
Activity 1.1.: My Personality Stars
Directions: In your Journal Notebook, draw your personality stars, and inside them, write down
the different traits which you believe you possess. Your answers could be based on how you and
your family and friends describe you!
What is it
Directions: In your Journal Notebook, answer these questions in three (3) to five (5) sentences:
1. How do I feel after filling in my personality stars?
2. What traits describe me the most?
3. What personality traits I need to work more?
The personality stars you have just filled in shows how well you know yourself and how
others view you as a person. The self is our biggest asset. How you know yourself speaks one
of the important aspects of self – development. It is called self-concept. It is self-awareness in
two wide characters, the ideal self and the actual self;
Ideal self refers to the self-one desire to be, like the ones we admire and wish to be in
the community from any sector or profession. Your aspiration of becoming like them is based
on the positive qualities you have viewed them. Your connection with the ones you look up to
could want you also to develop what you see in them, what you learned and experienced from
them, including the things that they promote and most of all, it could also want you to build up
their ways in your thoughts, words and actions.
Actual self tells who you really are with the traits and characteristics you truly
possess. These traits may have been the outcome of how you were nurtured in the family,
developed in school and influenced by the community. It is your self- knowledge on how you
think, how you feel, how you act, and how you look. These traits are the things seen by others.
No matter how people view each one as a person, one’s knowledge of the actual-self
comprises the self-image. Self-concept affects one's behavior and overall success in any
undertakings.
The two aspects of self-concept are both important and must be evaluated for
positive self-development. Ideal-self when improved based on idolizing someone must be think
of and chosen carefully to gain and develop the positive traits. It must be in tune with the
actual-self. The aspect that requires a great sense of well-being. Having the right attitude, and
making the right choices of things we wanted to develop in us could affect our dealings with
people and things. Positive self-concept contributes to great success.

SELF-AWARENESS
Self-awareness of the traits possessed and the characteristics that need to be worked on will give a great
impact into becoming the best version ourselves. This contributes to one’s personal effectiveness in dealing
with others and in working towards success. A well-developed personality is the one that builds on the strength
and works on the weaknesses. One tries to learn more about the new ways and shows good and admirable
behavior behind whatever situation they are in. To be effective, you have to set your personal goals, you have
to plan your actions and be reflective from time to time. Here are some of the personal qualities that could give
great impact to one’s personality:
1. Knowing yourself
A person who knows oneself has the sense of direction and knows one’s purpose in life.
Knowing oneself is recognizing one’s strengths and weaknesses, including the fears, knowing one’s
desire and thoughts in life, likes and dislikes, habits and individualities as well as the things one can
tolerate in dealing with others and in handling situations.
2. Being confident
Self-confidence is shown in one's personal judgment, ability, and capacity in responding to
situations. It is shown in one's personal way of carrying oneself, showing one’s ability, and capacity in
facing others without fear and hesitation. With self-confidence one can carry out the things one wishes to
do. This trait is being developed from experiences of having mastered a particular emotion or activity.
3. Being courteous
A courteous person receives good impression and earns respect. Courtesy leads to progress,
for one gets the support of many who feels the politeness of a person.
4. Being properly dressed
Proper dressing earns respect. It is important that one should always consider the occasion, the
time, the climate and the season in choosing what dress to be worn. It reflects the soundness of mind
and it tells how ready we are facing the day. The way you are dressed is the way you’ll be addressed.
5. Being sensitive and know your body language
Sensitive people are cautious in their way in dealing with others and in handling situations. They
easily notice certain details others may accept or ignore, and they can be very creative in giving opinions
and in showing their gestures or actions.
6. Having a positive outlook
A positive attitude includes understanding life’s troubles and challenges. It means being optimistic
or having a positive mind in looking for the good in things, rather than being a negative-minded with
tendency to focus on the bad in things. Positive thoughts and actions create happy community and a
better world.
7. Being tactful in giving your opinions
A person’s tact or carefulness would tell many things about him or her; the emotional intelligence,
respect, self-awareness, thoughtfulness, compassion, delicacy, honesty, diplomacy, and courtesy in
dealing situations. Being careful in everything is shown when one can give difficult feedback, and
communicate sensitive information, with the right thing and doing the right action to preserve a
relationship.
8. Being a good listener
Being a good listener enriches one's understanding and increases one's capacity for considering
others and situations. It levels up one's awareness with the outside world by improving one’s thinking
while listening. With good listening, comes the right words, actions and interactions in our day-to-day
lives.
9. Being friendly
Meeting and knowing new people help develop a healthy mental image. Your interaction with
others leads to manifestations and mastery of the five features of personality; honesty, delicacy, right
attitude, kindness and mindfulness. Start smart with the people you know. Be the friendly you.
10. Being humble
Being humble means giving the way to understand others more. It doesn't mean one thinks less of
oneself. It simply means the person think of oneself less with a strong sense of valuing the relationship
above anything else. Being humble means showing a high level of self-esteem but not bragging oneself
to others. With humility, one can still feel better, because one fully knows how to handle oneself well
during situations.
