Personal growth and development is concerned with a process in which a person deals with three basic questions: Where am I now? Where would I like to be? How can I move toward my goal? One practical plan of self-development involves clarification of one’s values, since values influence our thinking, feeling and acting. Hence, our values play a great role in determining our objectives, directions and decisions.
