Personal development is a lifelong process. It’s a way for people to assess their skills and
qualities, consider their aims in life and set goals in order to realize and maximize their potential.

6. A Theory of Personal Development
 All individuals have an in-built need for
personal development which occurs
through the process called self-
actualization.
 Only when one level of need is satisfied
can a higher one be developed.

7. Principles for Self Growth
 Choose A Life Of Growth
Make Progress
The only way to improve the quality of your life is to improve yourself.

8.  Start Growing Today
Napoleon Hill said, “It’s not what you are going to do, but it’s what you are doing now that
counts.”
Stop delaying …
Do whatever that can help you to grow, at the moment
“ One of these days means none of these days”
• Growth is not automatic
• Growth today will provide a better tomorrow.
• Growth is responsibility

9.  Never Stay Satisfied With Current Accomplishments
keep Growing To Continue Being Successful
“A winner knows how much he still has to learn, even when he is considered an expert by others’’
 Focus On Self-Development, Not Self-Fulfilment
Don’t Stop, continue The Path………..

Earl Nightingale says, “If a person will spend one hour a day on the same subject for five years,
that person will be an expert on that subject.”
 Be A Continual Learner……. Learn, Grow and Lead
 Pay The Price….. It’s worth it.
 Find A Way To Apply What You Learn

o The better you are, the greater your value today
o The better you are, the greater your potential for tomorrow.

12. How To Become Better Tomorrow
Napoleon Hill said, “You can’t change where you started, but you can
change the direction you are going. It’s not what you are going to do,
but it’s what you are doing now that counts.”

13. HOW TO TAKE YOUR TALENT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
 Ask Yourself , “Am I Really Teachable?”
• Am I open to other people’s ideas?
• Do I listen more than I talk?
• Do I observe before acting on a situation?
• Am I open to doing things in a way I haven’t done before?

14.  Learn To Listen
 Understand The Learning Process
1.Act 2.Evaluate 3.Make it better 4.Act again
 Look For Teachable Moment
German philosopher Goethe advised, “Never let a day pass without looking at some perfect
work of art, hearing some great piece of music and reading, in part, some great book.”

15. What Roles Do Others Play In My Growth
 No One Can Teach Me Anything—Arrogant Attitude
 Someone Can Teach Me Everything—Naive Attitude
 Everyone Can Teach Me Something—Teachable Attitude
People have the potential to teach you something_ if you let them.
