How to Improve Yourself
To improve oneself is similar to improving any one else except in implementing the suggestions.
It is easy to suggest but difficult to implement.
First, locate the shortage, the merits, and the drawbacks.
Before considering improving any system, which in this case is a person, and specifically is oneself, it is necessary to
- analyse the system.
- diagnose its merits, shortages, and drawbacks.
- suggest remedy to shortages and drawbacks.
- suggest policies to maximize the gain that can be achieved with one's merits.
- suggest policies to minimize the effect of the shortages and drawbacks that cannot be remedied.
A person comprises the following in one:
- A body with restricted health and fitness capability.
- A brain with capabilities and weaknesses.
- A soul with needs of emotions, feelings and demands.
- A degree of capabilities and skills acquired by inherited talents and intelligences, enhanced due to education and training.
- Habits that affect all above.
- A surrounding environment that in turn comprises work, family, neighbours, and friends environment
- Capability to communicate advantageously with these circles is affected by and affects on all these sides of a person.
- A continuous awareness of the variations in the surrounding environment economically, socially, politically, and culturally.
Keep in mind that you have limited resources to spend over such improvement, these resources are:
- your money available to make the necessary improvement.
- your time requested.
- your physical capability to withstand these requested improvements
- your emotional capability to withstand the requested improvements.
The following questions arise immediately:
- do I need additional continuing education? and if yes in which field and to what extent? and what is it going to revenue back?
- do I need to readjust some of my habits to make me cope better with the work, family, neighbours, or friends? Stop-smoking for example?
- do I need to acquire some new hobby or hobbies that may attract new friendships and acquaintances with more potential for pleasure, happiness, success in work and business?
- do I need to widen my scope of awareness of new trends in my business?
- do I need to learn more on the topic of maximizing outcome to expenditure of my money, typical example is clothing, vacating, and nutrition.
- do I need to acquire new disciplines for better physical fitness such as jogging, golfing, or even Yoga practice.
