8. Objectives:
At the end of this chapter, the student should be able to:
• Explain the factors in personal development that may guide him or her in making important
career decisions as an adolescent;
• Share insights that make him or her realize the importance of personal development in
making a career decision as an adolescent;
• Construct a creative visualization of his or her personal development through the various
stages he or she went through, the stressors, influences, and decision-making points, and a
personal profile analysis; and
• Analyze and synthesize his or her personal development as an important component of
setting career and life goals.

10. In chapter 2, we discussed about knowing yourself, defining as you can, your healthy
self-concept or self-identity.
We looked closely at what adolescents are like, and what tasks and challenges they,
particularly the Filipino adolescents, commonly face. We saw how genetics and
heredity play an important role in an adolescent’s development, both in mind and
body, and what roles and expectations people have on the adolescents.
 We recognized the many changes adolescents are undergoing, resulting in stressful
situations for them. We discussed what stress does to the person and the ned to
learn the various coping mechanism for healthier lives.
The brain became the next important topic covered in Chapter 7. We came across
theories about the left and right sides of our brains and how these two parts
function in terms of our preferences toward creativity and rational thinking.
Mental health and well-being were covered in Chapter 8 and we learned several
theories and concepts about these topics.

11. We learned about emotions in chapter 9, understood what emotional
intelligence is all about.
Then we discovered about our personal and social relationship, how the
interplay between attachment, attraction, love, and commitment can lead to
fruitful loving relationship.
Conflict was discussed in chapter 12, and we learned about the cycle of
conflict and discovered our conflict management styles.
Chapter 13 was all about family influences in our personal development,
and the generational process involved in our own evolution as persons
involving nature (heredity) and nurture (environment).
In the final three chapters of the book, we discussed about careers and how
personal factors influence career choices.

12. There was one important idea that we put forth in this
book, that personal development is not just a tool to obtain
“success” or reach a bigger goal. Instead, personal
development is about fulfilling our ultimate goal of
becoming a complete human being and achieving our
fullest potentials. Personal development is not merely to
help us in our search for a career and eventual employment;
it is more about learning what it means to be fully human,
fully responsible, and fully productive member of the
Philippine society and of the human race.

13. Furthermore, personal development will not be complete without the personal core
values we embrace and own to guide us in our thoughts, words, and actions. Values are
what define us as a person.
Not our jobs, roles, or achievements. Not even the wealth that we accumulate or
the relationship that succeeded or failed.
Jose Rizal, our national hero, was honored not just for his writings but also for the
bravery, love for the country, and love for freedom that he symbolized. Andres
Bonifacio is not only remembered as the founder of the KKK and the many battles he
fought or how he was treacherously murdered, but for his patriotism, selflessness, quest
for freedom, and his sacrifice so that future generations of Filipinos can enjoy being
free. Sure, we remember these two great Filipinos for what they have done, but we are
inspired more by the personal core values they stood for.

14. Do you see the values that
represent these noble heroes?
Honesty. Dedication. Excellence.
Love. Responsibility. Patience.
Selflessness.

17. The eight circles of factors are interconnected by
two-headed arrows representing their interrelations
with each other. This means that these factors should
not be taken in isolation from other factors, as there
are synergies that are formed between all these
factors. For example, your strengths and challenges
