2. III. Personhood is the sum total of the goals,
values, rules you live by, your personality, your
character, your knowledge, and your skills.
Understanding, intrinsic motivation, skills, and
wisdom
will help one make good decisions while they are
creating themselves. It all builds personhood.
The main goal of education should be to raise
children to be very high-quality people and who
have developed their knowledge and skills, to
become the BEST person that they can be.
Your personhood is who you are.

3. a. We are responsible for who we become. We
can make choices leading us to be a high quality
person, or we can make choices leading towards
failure. We can decide on our own Lifegoals
and our own Life-Rules to help us reach those
goals. We can make conscious decisions about
how we want to be.

4. b. You can select what you let into your head. You
can block out the bad and embrace the good.
You can think through ideas. You can control
whom you become. You can make yourself. Take
the time, and make the effort, to do a good job!

5. c. People's ability to become motivated and
committed to self-development is linked to:
• how optimistic or pessimistic they are (e.g., how
easy or difficult it is for them to believe
that good things will happen to them), and
• by their degree of self-efficacy, which describes
how willing they are to believe
that they can accomplish things they want to
accomplish
Optimism vs. pessimism and self-efficacy are
related ideas; people who are optimistic tend to
also believe that their efforts to better themselves
will have some positive effect on their lives.

6. In contrast, pessimistic people tend to see
themselves as less effective.
Self-esteem, which describes how good a person
feels about themselves, is a related idea.
Optimistic people who believe that they can change
their lives tend to feel pretty good about
themselves and their chances of success, while
pessimistic people who feel more helpless to
influence events tend to feel less positively
inclined.
When motivation and commitment are adequate,
people find the strength to continue toward
selfdevelopment or change.

7. There is no real magic to making a self-help project
successful. What is necessary is that you
believe that change is possible, that you create a
good plan for change and then that you execute
that plan, doing what is necessary to bring it to
completion. Together, motivation and commitment
are the fuel that makes this process possible.
Without motivation, you might not get started on
a self-development at all. Without commitment
(which is nothing more than sustained motivation)
you might abandon your self-help project in mid-
stream.
The development of a self seems to us to be one of
the important aims of schooling.

8. Therefore,
one of the assumptions central to our development
of this thinking framework is that it is desirable
to develop a thinking person only if it leads to a
person who can think for him or herself, not
haphazardly, but consistently, with integrity, with
character.

9. The steps are:
1. Analyze what are the goals to be reached
2. Determine what goal or goals are not being
met.
3. Analyze why those goals are not being reached.
4. Formulate plans.
5. Implement plans.
6. Monitor results.
7. Modify or fix as needed.
