Attitude Behave like a gentleman, especially when you do not know what is going on; other times be yourself.
The humblest person will yet rob you of the charm and the innocent child will surely inherit all blessings.
There can be no limit to self-improvement; there can only be an improvement in the horizons of improvement.
Personal growth begins with health when you are born.
Your wellbeing consists so much in being yourself, but when you are in some social interchange or participating in some exchange of cultural significance or economic significance, there are norms, which you have to adopt.
Not everyone needs to be so civilized or skillful and show the welcome hand to all and sundry.
However, there are times when it holds true.
There have been brave men, there will be many more; when we think about how we live our lives, we recognize some of them.
Positive Approach Everyone has problems and there are people who have solutions.
You may not find the solution where you seek it, the postman may find that you have placed your television with a wrong orientation and hence you are receiving blurred pictures, your maid may notice that the milkman is walking away with an extra ten bucks while you are wondering what is wrong with the accounts.
Being positive is a skill.
It tells you things you have dreamed of before.
Self-improvement is its own reward.
Developing Perspective Self-improvement is not easy.
If you are a person who does not prefer watching afternoon matinees, there is no way you are going to do it when your in-laws are visiting.
Personal growth like health happens over time.
Nevertheless, perhaps you will, and therein is the answer.
You do not do things for yourself, but you are willing to walk an extra mile for those around you.
Of course, others use a different technique.
They ignore those things that are not in the list of favorites.
Think about it as the rain that will not stop.
You will need to go out soon, and you will need some protection against the rain.
If you start to plan for that with your skill, you will not worry about the actual rain falling incessantly.
Using Skills Effectively Self-improvement like bicycle riding happens only when you have an identity, the bicycle.
"Everyone went swimming; the ship was sinking" "The fox did not hide; it was already in its hole" "Who turned out the lights; remove the sheet from over your head" Personal growth demands something of us, a commitment that everyone is able to share in.
Each of us has a special skill, well documented, in some special place.
It is up to us to find out where that place is and how we are going to reach there.
Good Response Time History is perhaps the best thing to teach you the value of time and effort.
Time dictates events; your health and the participants themselves are either the consequence or the initiators of the change.
The various aspects of society have not formed so much as that they were objects of theft.
By learning more about the things around us, how they work and of lands and conquests, you begin to develop the necessary outlook to respond positively.
Personal growth keeps pace with the various things that we achieve with self-improvement.
Time Management The biggest asset one has is time; managing it needs a few steps from you and a little bit of skill.
Stealing is perhaps the subtlest of techniques used in society; some call them etiquette while others know it as black money.
For self-improvement, one must learn to steal time.
· Using time wisely · Make a timetable · Set goals and give time to them · Allocate time for leisure · Mark the good days, anniversaries and free days Social status is the way people look at you, as a handle to open a door, a spoon to eat with, or a book, which they may read and prosper.
Personal growth lends the touch of décor to the insipid drink of life called commitment.
Proportioning time effectively If the father of the family leaves town he invariably takes his family with him.
If there is a celebration, everyone in the family celebrates.
It is the same with time.
When you set time for exercising, you are giving to the time for self-improvement a boost.
Likewise, when you keep aside time for your evening tea, you are setting aside time for your leisure.
They all go hand in hand.
If you are ready to face problems, take up challenges, use your skill and rise up to the opposing forces, you will surely solve things that remained a challenge so far.
a) Time for routines b) Time for relaxation c) Family time d) Friends' time e) Games and exercise time The minute you have made the list, you become free.
Your mind now knows just what kind of time it is spending and how much it is spending.
It also knows the result of this and the next thing to do.
It is the dimension of personal growth or skill, which helps you to make the right decisions at the right place and time.
Beating the clock everyday Therefore, everybody was concentrating on self-improvement without any heed to society and social obligations.
Finishing the work ahead of schedule on just one day or two days is of no consequence.
Self-improvement must become a habit; the amount of time should be visible to you as the prize catch of the season.
It is what is the only inspiration.
It is the best way to contribute.
Exercise and Health There is no way you can become strong without exercising.
It is the road to better and improved life style, it is the color of your skies when you go to sleep.
Personal growth skill and health depends on the following.
Good Food Healthy food taken at the proper time helps your metabolism tick smoothly.
It keeps the mind without worries; it helps to energize you in all your activities.
Be sure to include plenty of fruit, cut out the tobacco, alcohol and fried stuff and to drink plenty of water.
Good rest The body needs the time to recover.
Self-improvement does not know how to signal this except through yawns and some headaches.
If you are not getting rest, you will get headaches be prepared.
A healthy mind and a hearty laugh gets many things moving including the wheels of society.
When you rest, the damaged tissues repair themselves; the metabolism slows down giving the body a chance to relax.
The people who pay the price for indifference know very well that it was time that took its toll, it was time for change and they did not.
Depending on the motivation personal growth now becomes like the pages of the book, which are turning fast.
Enough activity Exercise is good, but at least be sure to walk about or run in place everyday.
Using walkers or ellipses turns the fats into good muscle.
A walk for half an hour is invigorating and stimulating.
Getting started may be the problem.
Improvement is primarily in the mind; if you are ready for it, then you will achieve it.
Problems are what make life special.
Good stimulation Self-improvement starts with the person.
Listen to the radio, go for swims and eat chocolates.
Do not neglect the health.
Moderation is divine but the whole point is that there is something, you like more than anything else.
Do not deprive yourself because they are the best stimulation.
Friends and colleagues are also good stimulators.
They keep giving you hints about the things that are working for you and tell you how to improve on things that are not working.
Attend group therapy and exercise sessions.
It has a lot of value; you see others who are not even off the ground yet.
You will be able to get the wind in your sails and start flying.
When you begin to notice your personal growth, you are inspired to greater things.
Enough Success in social and commercial ventures The wisest of men are thieves of time.
You have to be an achiever.
The success will build up and you will be cruising along in no time at all.
Place your bets with the tried and tested only.
There are no second chances and there are no second place winners.
Doing what comes naturally may be good enough to begin with but find the ways to diversify and grow.
Personal growth and health have one small difference; the first depends on the circumstances while the latter depends on you.
Improving Your Social Bonds Given choices and a period, most people decide to take the shortest and easiest path.
For thieves abound everywhere, it is we must be careful.
Never be in debt to the thief; he will not respect you or what you stand for.
A healthy person is a dependable person.
When one keeps within the social calling, the wealth of the individual and indeed that of the nation takes shape.
The nation knows only of the uniformity of the effort, while the individual is always seeking the means of reaping the effort.
Personal growth is invariably one factor dependent on these.
Getting to grips with the skills, that you have and that those around you possess is the first step to progress.
Respect time, it has no limits other than the one that you give it.
Social bondage is perhaps a boon that turns the wheels of society.
Keeping the wheels turning with the time is a big responsibility.
