Notes to the Teacher

The learners may answer the questions at home, discuss answers during
the videoconferencing with teachers and/or during chat sessions.

Read and analyze the quote below.

“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom.

Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you
realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.” And “The cost of not
following your heart, is spending

the rest of your life wishing you had.”

By: J. Paulsen

Notes to the Teacher

Learners are given 5 minutes to analyze the quote. For face-to-face
instruction, the teacher may group them into 3 to 5 members to brainstorm and
present analysis in a creative way.

1) Discuss what you understand about the quote and present your insights to your
classmates during the face-to-face or online activities with your teacher.

The quote given above conveys that on we find that we know those that we love more
than we know ourselves. Without them even having to ask, we are able to predict and
satisfy their needs and desires. However, we are confused when it comes to
comprehending and meeting our own needs. Insight into another human being gives
the specialist a remarkable capacity to fulfill desires, cure heartbreak, be emotionally
compassionate, and have a prescribed and targeted kind of love above all.

5
 “Knowing oneself is the beginning of wisdom”. This renowned quote is often
attributed to Socrates. But what exactly do you benefit when you know and understand
who you are?

When a person has a self-knowledge, he understands his strengths and weaknesses,

his passions and fears, his life’s desires and dreams. This means he is aware of his
eccentricities (peculiarities) and idiosyncrasies (habits), likes and dislikes, tolerance
and limitations. The person knows his purpose in life (Doherty, 2017).

Meg Selig (2016) suggests that when a person knew who he is, he develops
understanding of himself, he would be happier because he can express who he is. He
develops less inner conflict, make better decision and better choices about everything
and understands what motivates him.

Subsequently, she emphasized that when a person knows himself better, he has the
resistance to social pressure, he is grounded in his values and preferences and is less
likely to say “yes” when he wants to say “no” and at the same time develops tolerance
and understanding of others. He can easily help and empathize with others.

Write a reflection of yourself

Who am I really? It seems that the question

of who I am is the easiest question that one
can tackle. Yet, when I took the time to try
and find out who I am, I discovered that this
issue involves critical thinking. The
response to this question in general is that I
am a normal individual who enjoys
spending quality time with the individuals I
admire. In reality, I devote myself to fulfilling
my assignments, and I have a dream of
becoming a great individual. There are so
many other things, however, which make me
a person. And that is who I am.

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.

Let’s Check How Much You Understand

1) What are the six (6) core elements of developing a whole person? Explain
concisely its relationships.
The six core elements of developing a whole person are: emotions, physical health,
spiritual relationship, social relationship, psychologically, and professional life.
Emotions is a subjective state of mind. Physical health promotes proper care of our
bodies for optimal health and functioning. Spiritual health is achieved when you feel
at peace with life. Social relationship refer to the connections that exist between
people who have recurring interactions that are perceived by the participants to have
personal meaning. Psychologically is a way that affects the mind or relates to the
emotional state of a person. Professional life is the particular occupation for which
you are trained.

2) In your own opinion, how do prayers and meditations influence a man’s personal
development?
You will achieve greater satisfaction, enjoyment, trust, and peace of mind in all areas
of your life when you meditate regularly and begin to elevate the physical, mental ,
emotional and spiritual components of your life.

Everything about you is a reflection of some meaningful pieces of God’s beautiful

and perfect creation. Since conception, you are considered a perfect piece of art
designed by the hands of God. Your person and everything around you are
symbolic manifestations of God’s presence.
The memories and emotional state that evolved while you are doing your life’s
assignments help you see and understand yourself or your life from different
angles and this help enhance your self -awareness. When you fully understand
yourself and your person, you can live more effectively and have more successful
life.

Answer the questions below succinctly.

1) What is your understanding or insights about the selection?

13
My understanding or insights about the selection are that all about you is a
representation of those essential parts of the glorious and perfect existence of God.
You have been considered a fine piece of art created by the hands of God since
conception.

2) How do you describe yourself as God’s perfect and beautiful creation?

Worthy, Cherished, and His Masterpiece, God sees you. But it is easier said than
done. Seeing yourself as the glorious creation of God can be one of the most difficult
things you can do, especially in the fallen world in which we live. But, fortunately,
God doesn't leave us to deal with it alone. God reminds us, through scripture, prayer,
knowing ourselves, and communion, that in His image, His beautiful image, we are
made.

3) How helpful are you life’s problems and frustrations in becoming a better person?
it will inspire you to prove something fresh and better. yes, maybe it will push you to
your limit. But as a person, that limit can also lead to your improvement and strength.

4) How will you make your life more meaningful?

I will know what’s important for me, and I will pursue my passion in my life, I will
discover my life’s purpose, and I will always be self-aware, I will focus on my goals in
this distracting world, And I will spend my money on people more than my things, and
I will be compassionate to one’s self before external compassion, I will do something
that both honors your beliefs and passions, while giving something back to the world,
and I will simplify my life, and lastly I will set my daily goals in life.

to consider, becoming honest with myself about my flaws that might be
detrimental for my development, being honest with people in my everyday life,
and accepting that improvement is the universe's constant honest rule. I don't

What I have learned?

1) Why do you think it is important to know oneself more than anything else in this

have relationships if you do not know who you are and what you want.

2) What memories and feelings did come up while you were doing the activities in
Lesson 2 (Developing the Whole Person)? Who are the individuals who have helped
shape who you are today?

Answer:
Memories and feelings that come up could be happy or sad. My parents, relatives,
brothers and sisters, grandparents, teachers, peers and classmates and significant
others are individuals who have helped shape who I am today.

3) What are the different developmental stages of adolescence? Explain briefly each.

Answer:
Early adolescence, middle adolescence, and late adolescence. In early adolescence
stage, a child experiences significant physical and sexual maturation, shows concrete
