Self development is personal development which can be used to support the person in achieving goals and objectives. It is the process of knowing and enhancing our attitudes,

behavior and feelings to have a healthier , happier and successful life. Peter Drucker

(1955) postulates that “Development is always self-development. Nothing could be more

absurd than for the enterprise to assume responsibility for the development of a man .

The responsibility rests with the individual, his abilities, his efforts”. So personal

development is the process of understanding and developing ourselves in order to achieve

our fullest potential. So self development plays a vital role in a person life that is related

to our country advancement. If everyone would care about personal development then

Self development helps us to know about ourselves better. Knowing oneself is a

deeper, greater and slower process. Knowing oneself means respecting one’s values,

beliefs, personality, priority, understanding one’s strength and weakness and purpose

of life. Self development assists us to realize these objects properly.

CREATES GOALS AND LIFE PURPOSES

Personal development assists us to create our goals and purpose of life. There are

many things in life that can distract our attention away from the important. Those

distractions are mainly known as short-term pleasures. They make us feel good in

the short-term but cause long-term harm. Personal development helps us direct our

attention back to what are important. According to Bruce Lee’s quote it is said that

“Absorb what is useful , Discard what is not , Add what is uniquely your own”.

Thus we would realize our motives of life which would help us to reach the goal of

our life. It can also show us the ways of making our life purposes. For example---

Drive across the country we would know we would need a map or compass. These

tools give us direction and show how far along we are toward our destination .

your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers

you cannot be successful or happy.” We can increase our abilities by many ways

especially , when it comes to positive thinking. When our brain is inclined to be positive,

it becomes more creative. By developing positive thinking we will be able to gain the

confidence that we need to approach even those high profile personalities and attitudes. For instance it is said that , if one of us be a life insurance agent in order for him

to increase his sales he should remove all negative attitudes such as insecurities ,

shyness , laziness and others that hinder him from closing deals . Positive thinking has

also the power to change and provide people with a purpose in life. Besides having a

positive mindset we will be able to commit the plans and goals we set for ourselves.

living lifestyle. Simplicity can be used to imply beauty, purity ,or clarity. We shall want

simple and the simple thing is the right thing!" So it is high time to choose the right

things. On the other hand simplicity is key to avoiding overwhelm. And when we avoid
