6. Knowing the Self.
• “Knowing oneself is the beginning of wisdom”. This renowned quote is often attributed
to Socrates. But what exactly do you benefit when you know and
understand who you are?
• When a person has a self-knowledge, he understands his strengths and weaknesses,
his passions and fears, his life’s desires and dreams. This means he is
aware of his eccentricities (peculiarities) and idiosyncrasies (habits), likes and
dislikes, tolerance and limitations. The person knows his purpose in life (Doherty,
2017).
• Meg Selig (2016) suggests that when a person knew who he is, he develops
understanding of himself, he would be happier because he can express who he is. He
develops less inner conflict, make better decision and better choices about everything
and understands what motivates him
• Subsequently, she emphasized that when a person knows himself better, he has the
resistance to social pressure, he is grounded in his values and preferences and is
less likely to say “yes” when he wants to say “no” and at the same time develops
tolerance and understanding of others. He can easily help and empathize with others .

7. Write a reflection about yourself.
