2. Q 01: How can you motivate yourself for cherishing a new
way of thinking for better living?
There is no doubt that everyone desires to live a better living but some
time it may not possible as we need to motivate ourselves for gaining
this dreaming fact. Actually about this, I have some personal opinions
how we motivate ourselves.
Firstly, we need to think positive about ourselves as negative thinking is
like a virus that attacks us positive acts and be daring to take rick which
can be changed our live towards better life.
Secondly, we need to reduce limiting beliefs about ourselves that it’s
impossible for me to do or I don’t know how to do or I have no
experience about this. So, such kind of self-created negative thinking
should be removed.
Thirdly, self-created destroyer like anger, frustration, insist, inner-
confliction that means negative emotion need to be reduced as it’s like a
silent killer of our potentiality.
Lastly, we need to be discover something new that get rid of from our
daily-routine life. It enhances our working ability and makes our life
colorful and better.
We have to be satisfied with what we have and taken a level best effort
for betterment. So, a dynamic progressing life turned into happiness and
makes our life better.

3. Q 02: Explain the importance of unlearning in learning for
continuous growth.
The world is changing quite rapidly and we need to constantly learn
new tricks if we want to keep up with the market we work in. Learning
the new-new thing is often seen as the key to success. This attitude has it
all backwards; it’s not learning that is the challenge, it’s our ability to
unlearn that’s holding many of us back.
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those that cannot read
and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.
—Alvin Toffler
Anytime that we’re attempting to learn something new this new thing is
measured against what we already know. If we put more weight on what
we already know, on tradition and our inherited past, then it will be
harder to learn the new. The standard which new learning is measured
against will be tougher, and we’ll be less willing to set aside our existing
assumptions and accept new knowledge if it contradicts what we already
know. If we put more weight on what we’re seeing today – on new data
– then learning something that conflicts with our assumptions will be
comparatively easier, as we will place more weight on what we see than
what we remember and we’ll more willing to change our assumptions.
The world is changing more rapidly than ever, making it increasingly
import for us to adapt if we want to remain relevant. While learning is
important if we want to keep up, unlearning is what really enables us to
adapt and remain relevant.

4. Q 03: How to create synergy of learning and unlearning for
effective development and living?
Creating synergy of learning and unlearning for effective development
and living is so mush needful for ours. There are several factors of
effective development and living. These are discussed in below-
1. Goals or purposes-finding: Each and everyone have a goal. A
goal should be set to each pupil according to the standard expected
to him. A goal is an aim or desired result Goals should be specific
and clear, so that learners understand.
2. Motivational behavior: Motivation means to provide with a
motive. Motivation learners should be motivated so that they
stimulate themselves with interest.
3. Interest-creating: This is a quality that arouses a feeling. It
encourages a student to move over tasks further. During teaching,
the instructor must raise interests among students for the best
learning.
4. Attention-ability: Attention means consideration. It is
concentration or focusing of consciousness upon one object or an
idea. If effective learning should take place attention is essential.
Instructors must secure the attention of the student.
5. Drill or practice: This method includes respiting the tasks “n”
number of times like needs, phrases, principles, etc. This makes
learning more effective.
6. Aptitude: Aptitude is natural ability. It is a condition in which an
individuals ability to acquire certain skills, knowledge through
training.
7. Attitude: It is a way of thinking. The attitude of the student must
be tested to find out how much inclination he or she has for
learning a subject or topic.
8. Emotional conditions: Emotions are strong feelings. Learning
and unlearning teaches us how to control it and when we need to

5. express it .Here unlearning plays an important role for reducing
negative emotion.
9. Speed, Accuracy and retention: Speed is the rapidity of
movement. Retention is the act of retaining. These 3 elements
depend upon aptitude, attitude, interest, attention and motivation
of the students.
10. Guidance: Everyone needs guidance in some part or some time in
life. Some need it constantly and some very rarely depending on
the student’s conditions. Small learners need more guidance.
Guidance is an advice to solve a problem. Guidance covers the
whole gamut of learner’s problems- learning as well as non-
learning.
11. Patience: learning and unlearning teaches us it how to be
patience. It’s a really important thing to be successful.
12. Mentally-strong: managing mental situation is very hard. From
learning and unlearning we can get huge knowledge of our regular
human being. This knowledge can make us strong enough to
handle future hard situation.
13. Be practical: A person can be practical if he/she has enough
knowledge about socialism and having lots of sense of humor. We
get all these from learning and unlearning.
14. Survival-ability: Survival is the fittest and a man can be fit for
defend and handle any rough situation if they have knowledge by
learning and unlearning.
15. Managing-stress: Potentiality of hard working of a man depend
how many works he/she done before gradually day by day. If a

6. man continue a process of learning and unlearning in regular basis
then his/her adoptability will be increased.
Q 04: How to make learning circuit functional?
We know relationship or expression which is involving one or more
things (variables) is called function .knowledge is acquired through
experience, study, or being taught and this recursive process is called
learning.
Learning is the act of acquiring new, or modifying and reinforcing,
existing knowledge, behaviors, skills, values or preferences and may
involve synthesizing different types of information. The ability to learn
is possessed by humans, animals, plants and some machines. Human
learning may occur as part of education, personal development,
schooling, or training. It may be goal-oriented and may be aided by
motivation. The study of how learning occurs is part of educational
psychology, neuropsychology, learning theory, and pedagogy.
Progress over time tends to follow a learning curve. It does not happen
all at once, but builds upon and is shaped by previous knowledge. To
that end, learning may be viewed as a process, rather than a collection of
factual and procedural knowledge. Learning produces changes in the
organism and the changes produced are relatively permanent. So,
learning is dependent on various kinds of variable.
.

7. Q 05: What is society? Explain its role in developing
behavioral and humanitarian quality at individual level.
Answer: Society describes a group of people who share similar
values, laws and traditions living in organized communities for
mutual benefits. Members of society often share religions, politics or
culture.
A society is a group of people involved in persistent social interaction,
or a large social grouping sharing the same geographical or social
territory, typically subject to the same political authority and dominant
cultural expectations. Societies are characterized by patterns of
relationships (social relations) between individuals who share a
distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as
the sum total of such relationships among its constituent members. In
the social sciences, a larger society often evinces
stratification or dominance patterns in subgroups.
The final level of complexity of a society depends on its ability to
interact with its environment. as unacceptable behavior to be eradicated,
or as realistic mechanisms to decrease the risk of collapse of the society .

human qualities that can ensure continuous growth of individual and
sustainable peace in this world.
Q 06: How to create synergy among personal, social and
global professionalism in relation to etiquette and behavior?
Answer: When a society is undergoing such a situation, corruption can
never be an issue of significance because corruption is all about
destroying ethics. In a society where ethics is considered not significant,
campaigns on nation-building cannot bear expected results.
Our society, tragically, has been overwhelmed by the ‘felt need’ factor
today. But the bigger tragedy is to observe our society moving towards
such a trend in a happy indifference affecting our psyche and
imagination in a peculiar way.
The absence of a right conscience or genuine dissenting voices has
caused the desolate situation which vividly denotes where our moral
landscape stand.

Q 07: How to learn lifetime performance by developing
social, ethical and intellectual abilities depending on
practical need?
Answer: Life skills are abilities for adaptive and positive behavior that
enable us to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of
everyday life, in other words psychosocial competency. They are a set of
human skills acquired via teaching or direct experience that are used to
handle problems and questions commonly encountered in daily human

11. life. The subject varies greatly depending on social norms and
community expectations but skills that functions for well-being and aid
individuals to develop into active and productive members of their
communities are considered as life skills.
We all human being had different level of life at different age. We have
personal life and professional life. In both lives we have to face different
situation. In those all types of situations we need to have some qualities
that define us as human. We need to culture those qualities from the very
early stages of our lives so that we can apply those on the different
practical scenarios of life. Particularly we have to have social abilities
that connects us with other peoples, ethical abilities that makes us being
honest and morally strong and intellectual abilities that helps us solve
technical problems in our day to day lives.
If we want to pass and perform well in our practical life we will apply
those abilities. Applying and developing these we can achieve lifetime
performance in the different stages of our life. For example we are now
students of university. We have many people around us. We have our
friends, classmates, seniors, juniors, teachers, and many other ranked
persons. We need to communicate with them continuously for different
purposes. Also others communicate with us for their different purposes.
So we do not socialize with other people we will not be able to solve
many of our problems as well as helping others to solve their problems.
Social abilities include communicate with others, speaking and
discussing different social issues and performing actively to solve those.
Ethics is another dimension of human behavior. Ethics consists of many
aspects of integrity i.e. truthfulness, honesty, morality etc. In every stage
we need to have these ethical values for ensuring a better and healthy
life. We have to be morally strong within ourselves so that we do not do

12. any bad deeds. We will behave well irrespective of one’s social status.
We should do any corruptive activities in any of our works.
And most importantly we have to be intellectual ability alongside with
all human qualities, because in our practical life we face many
unpredictable situations where only intellectual capabilities work. For
technical problems we have solve it by our intellectual abilities.
Like this we have to apply these abilities in all stages of our lives.
Q 08: How to become self-guardian or director to face
unpredictable or unscripted life and living?
Answer: To learn effective lifetime performance by developing social,
ethical and intellectual abilities depending on practical need. We need to
become a self-guardian or director to face unpredictable or unscripted
life and living. How we are performing unpredictable life, what kind of
self-guardianship is mandatory to develop, how to create history of
living in this beautiful world. First we need to detect the mistakes we do
in our regular life. And need to gain a sense of competence by making
and learning from our own mistake and by being held accountable for
our own actions. Maybe we will be much happier and more effective
people if we can take the time and the energy to understand who we are
and how people know us! Anyone can build or can change careers
several times, if he/she can grow and try to create positive change in the
world. It’s important that more you are becoming aware of how your
actions affect others now and in the future and then more you will be
able to effectively communicate and motive. Knowing great peoples life,
living history etc. Always can help anyone to write personal history by
doing things practically.

Q 13: How to achieve self-guardianship?
Answer: When we can't make decisions for yourself because of our
disability, the law can take away or limit your right to make decisions
about how to live our life and give someone else permission to make the
decisions, instead of you. This is called guardianship. How guardianship
can start A person who thinks you need a guardianship writes to the
probate court to ask the probate court to make a guardianship for you,
and tells the probate court the reasons why the person thinks you need a
guardianship. The probate court then decides if it is a good idea to talk
about a guardianship for you. If the probate court decides that it is a
good idea to talk about a guardianship for you, the probate court will tell
you and other people to come to court to talk about guardianship. When
you and the other people come to court the probate court will listen to
everyone's side of the story and then decide if you need a guardianship.
Is guardianship for you? If the probate court believes that you can't make
decisions because of your disability, the probate court might make a
guardianship for you. A probate court might make a guardianship for
you because the probate court believes: • We can't make decisions, that
will get you what most people think you need, and • Someone else can
make decisions that will get you what most people think you need. Even
though guardianship may get you what most people think you need,
guardianship also takes away or limits your rights by thinking about
what is in your best interests. This means making a decision that most
people would think is the right thing for you. It may not be what you
like. Making decisions in your best interests is a rule the guardian has to

18. follow. The probate court makes this rule. If you do not like a guardian's
decisions you may be able to do something about it
