Secrets of self-development and strength of character

Self development

Self-development concept:

Self-development has many meanings, so raising oneself is developing it, and positive self-management is the development and advancement of the person.

Man is developed automatically from birth, so the family and society develop man, educate him on ethics and train himself in developing himself.

Plato has emphasized in his philosophies that the education of a person to himself has a greater impact on the soul than the raising of others for him, and therefore he supports that man develop himself and acquire positive behaviors and reject negative behaviors.

From this standpoint, the importance of self-development is evident. Management scholars, ethicists, psychologists and sociologists have competed in writing books and preparing lectures on the importance of the self, as self-development is important, whether at the individual or community level .. It is not possible in my view that the situation of families and societies will be correct unless the development is Man is effective and continuous, and there is no doubt that God Almighty has deposited skills and abilities in man’s soul that make him contribute to the development of man himself.

The scientific concept of self-development

Strength of Personality

Some consider personal strength to be the ability to control others

Is the teacher who students shudder from and controls the class strong personality?

Is everyone who imposes his opinion on others is a strong personality?

A dominant personality whose request is not rejected is not considered a strong character

Control may be intimidation and terror

The teacher, for example, may control the dismissal because he threatens the students and hits them, and you may find this same teacher standing frightened and trembling in front of the director or minister, so he cannot be considered strong in character.

Others consider the strong personality as the one who can earn more money than others and thus reach a distinguished social position

This definition accuses the honest people of being weak in character, so it cannot be accepted

Some consider the strong personality as the personality that can behave successfully in different situations

In fact, the successful behavior may be unethical at times, for example, the trader may succeed in his trade with great success due to his reliance on fraud and lying as a means of disposing of his trade, and this definition becomes unacceptable ..

So what is the correct definition?

The strong personality .. is the personality that continues to grow and develop

The owner of the stony mentality .. weak personality

And whoever does not benefit from his time, health and capabilities ... is weak in character

He who does not modify his behavior and give up his mistakes .. also be weak in character

Personal strength also means .. the ability to make a right choice .. to distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong .. and awareness of the present reality .. and anticipation of the future

Growth and development are prerequisites for your personality to be strong and fruitful at the same time
