From Which Self Development Started ? (part 1)

Times change quickly. Areas of work that are considered important in the past, is now losing its meaning. The work that in the past were sacred, now replaced with an entirely new work. The former is considered an absolute proficiency to master, now replaced with a simple tool. Work attitudes that become a criteria of judgment, now even should be abandoned because it is not in accordance with the system and the rhythm of the work. Former Manajement is considered the most sophisticated, are now considered obsolete and cannot be used again. The ways in which leadership success, is now considered questionable potency. Therefore, in a world of rapid change, which constantly needed is self development. If we do not develop themselves, we will be out of date, marginalized, and not have a place in the world of work.

For most people self development is still the word abstract. What it was just a mere granting of motivation when you're down? What is the relationship of self development with creativity? When does it need to be done?

One of the sense of self development is "individuals who develop the knowledge, skills and abilities through their efforts directed by themselves". Of the many notions about self development, how can we develop themselves?

Of the banhyak how to develop themselves, I summarize into three main things we have to understand:

1. Who we are

2. What do we want and our goals

3. What do we have to reach that goal

Three it is becoming a basic map for developing ourselves. To achieve what we want we must know who we are and what we have to achieve that goal. From there we can prepare themselves by learning, seek, and work.

Self development is a broad topic because in it there is a personal time management, goal setting, creative thinking, self healing, motivation, problem solving, and many more. But we always come back to the 3 things above because of self development is a process that must be going on inside MYSELF, not other people. This means that we create new condition outside with making changes in yourself.

In the next piece of writing I will discuss more details about anything contained in a basic map of self development.
