“The swiftest way to triple your success is to double your investment in personal development.” - Robin Sharma Write about what you think this quote means. -------------- Personal development is as if we are all bringing up ourselves, same as we bring up our children. And we do want our children to be successful, don't we! What it means to me is that we are all responsible for ourselves, as to who we are and how we operate in this life. Working on personal development is building our self-awareness, adaptability, and resilience. It also involves, improving personal skills and understanding our "selves" and our mindset. This empowers us to handle challenges, seize opportunities, and set meaningful yet do-able goals. To do all that, adaptability is essential as the world is constantly changing and always new skills are needed. As a bonus, when we work on those new skills, we also increase our self-confidence and resilience so we can overcome obstacles and recover from setbacks. Personal development also helps us with goal-setting, motivation, better communications and relationships. However, all this is easy to say but hard to do. Speaking for myself, I have some serious trouble with some of the new technologies, especially this artificial intelligence thing. As much as I appreciate the ease that comes with something new like this, seeing my incompetence with AI is a bit disconcerting. Maybe I'll build better resilience because of it, I tell myself, and try to adapt to it. Granted, it offers some excellent help in some areas but like anything else, it can also be misused. Still, becoming the best version of myself is what will make my life worthwhile. That is why I have committed, a long time ago, to grow continuously, not that I have been too successful with it, but I guess I can at least try...still. |
