Importance of Knowing Oneself
 It helps us in our decision making:
 It helps us to decide properly in life. Thus if you identify how good you are in terms
of numbers, you can decide to go into accounting as a career.
 Appreciating other people:
 Knowing yourself helps you know your shortfalls, examples are impatience, bad
temper, pride etc. This will help you understand other people with such
possessions.
 Knowing our weaknesses:
 When we identify our weaknesses i.e. what we are not very good at, this helps us
to relate to others better. Our weakness can be pride, laziness, dishonesty etc.
 Understand yourself:
 This tells us who we are and makes us able to accept ourselves. This helps other
people believe in us when we understand and believe in ourselves.

Tips of improving self esteem
 Be nice to yourself
 You do you
 Nobody’s perfect
 Remember that everyone makes mistakes
‘I am doing the best I can’, ‘I can totally make it through this exam’,
‘I don’t feel great right now, but things could be worse’
Comparing yourself to other people is a sure-fire way to start feeling crummy.
Try to focus on your own goals and achievements, rather than measuring them
against someone else’s. Nobody needs that kind of pressure!
Always strive to be the best version of yourself, but it’s also
important to accept that perfection is an unrealistic goal.
You’ve got to make mistakes in order to learn and grow, so try not to
beat yourself up if you forget to hit CTRL+S on a super-important
assignment.

Tips of improving self esteem
 Focus on what you can change
Do what makes you happy
Celebrate the small stuff
Surround yourself with a supportive people
Things can happen that are totally out of your control – whether it’s a
relationship break-up, the drought or the death of someone you’re
close to
Whether that’s time spent reading, cooking or just conking out on the
couch for a bit, if it makes you happy, make time for it.
Celebrating the small victories is a great way to build confidence and
start feeling better about yourself.
