Popularity, Teens say it…

          A brainstorming session was held in the USA. The participants were youngsters between 15 and 17. The theme of the session was what characteristics contributed to one’s popularity:
Here are some of the answers given:
a. Let people know you like them
b. Don’t monopolize the conversation
c. Admit your mistake cheerfully
d. Don’t bear grudges
e. Learn to avoid a quarrel without losing your dignity
f. Think of ways to make others feel important
g. Don’t have one set of manners for the people you want to impress and another set for everybody else
h. Don’t try for a laugh at someone else expense
i. Listen politely to other people’s ideas, even they sound wild
j. Be a good loser
k. Be a good winner
l. Show appreciation for presents even if you are had hoped for something else

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.
