Personal Growth

We all know that a person’s growth is not merely the growth of his physical growth, but it is also the growth of his mental and personal abilities. A person’s growth comprises of many stages starting from his birth and ending with death. His family, food habits, peer group , education, job and marital life plays a major role in his personal development.

First consider the family. Regarding the life of a person, his family plays a pivotal role in his personal development. If one has a good family which helps and supports him, provide suitable advises in every situation, and nourish the optimism, he will win in his life. But, if the family conditions are rotten it will also influence in his behaviour qualities. A well known dialogue “powerful people comes from powerful places” convey the essence of familial and social background. Thus, family and behaviour qualities of a person are directly related.

Second is food habits. Proper and healthy food habit is also very important for our physical growth. Food provide us the energy needed for working and day to day activities. It helps us to grow, make our bones and muscles strong, repairs damaged body cells, increase our immunity against harmful elements. Food must be healthy with nutrient qualities like vegetables, fruits, fish and meat .To ensure food safety, June 7 is celebrating as world food safety day to draw attention and inspire action and to help, prevent, detect, manage, and contribute to food security and sustainable development.

Another element which influence one’s growth is education. Nelson Mandela says that “Education is a powerful weapon that one can use to change the world”. This quote conveys the importance of education. Education is the key factor of a person to realise his personal abilities and break the shackles of exclusion. The education system must be sufficient enough to give confidence and courage along with information. This kind of education can make a better person with all qualities of social etiquette .

At the adolescence the peer group is very important for personal development. The adage “if one’s friend is good person, there is no need of a mirror” conveys the role of friends in life. Because in the youngsters are most inclined imitate the behaviours of friends. They posses the qualities like their friends. If they are good, they also good and if they are bad, they will also become bad. It’s upon us to select good friends.

In the case of personal development, optimism has a vital role. Whatever we have, along with that, we must be optimistic. Because in any situation, either good or bad we have to think positive. The reasons of increasing suicide cases in all over world, it is understood that the people including children and aged, lacked confidence and positive thinking in life. Many people having higher education and posses higher social prestige lack confidence and optimism. They can’t survive over adversities in their life. Firstly we have to convince ourselves that ‘life is full of ups and downs’. Life is supposed to go through up and downs. Think positive, no matter how hard life is. It is a drawback of our education system which doesn’t give proper self development programmes along with education. Even in this prevailing uncomfortable lockdown due to contagious disease, a great number of students were committed suicide over the insignificant matters.

The life partner also has influence in life. So it is our duty to select optimistic and good persons in every stages of life, friends as well as life partners.

In short, a person is developing throughout his life. Just select the good and avoid the bad in every situation. Along with optimism, must understand the errors and correct them to make a good personality and behavioural qualities. It is upon us to dream big and work hard to achieve our dreams. Thus we can make a good personality and behaviour and become a won person in life.
