In our previous discussion in our subject Technopreneurship, we tackled about
self-knowledge which is a process of identifying the things that you want and
the things you do not want.
Self-knowledge is a way of defining your true self on a deeper level. Having self-knowledge is essential because
it offers us a way and a route
to greater happiness and fulfillment in life, and which gives us a
greater chance of avoiding errors and mistakes in our dealings with others
and the formulation of our life choices. To test our level of self-knowledge,
our facilitator conducted two short activities about ourselves before he had
our 3rd discussion in his subject. He instructed us to get any piece
of paper to answer some questions in the activity.
The first activity involves three questions. These
questions have something to do with the things that you love, the things where you are best at and the things
that irritate you while the second
activity lets you identify your role in your
family, your role in your workplace, your role in your community, and
your role in the world. After answering the questions in the activity, our
facilitator called some of my classmates to share their answers to the class.
When I hear the word “love” in the first question, the first thing that comes
immediately in my mind is my family, since they are the most important and essential people in my life. I
feel so secure every time I hear the word family because they are the one who
knows me better and gives me good advice.
They are the one who never fails me, and
of course, they are the one who loves me
very much. Having a great amount of
support from your family inspires you and gives you the confidence to try and
explore new things.
I love exploring and doing
things that are new to me to broaden my knowledge but if someone asks me where
I’m best at? I would probably say that I excel in doing Arts and Crafts most
especially creating and innovating new things using scrap and recyclable
materials. Way back, when I was in high school,
my classmates and I joined a Christmas tree decoration competition that
involves recyclable materials to lessen the garbage and the waste in our
surroundings. And through Arts, I can
express my emotions and feelings, and at
the same time, I can showcase my
creativity and talent to others.
One thing that irritates me is when someone interrupts me while I’m doing
something that is very important to me because it loses my focus and attention.
Another thing that makes me mad and irritated is when someone only recalls you
when they need help or ask something from
you and then leave you when they get what
they want from you. And lastly, I get
annoyed and irritated to selfish and jealous people because these type people
will always find their ways to drag you and pull you down to stop you from
achieving your goals.
Knowing the things that you
love, the things you are best at and the things that irritate and makes you sad
just like what we had in our first activity you will help us understand who we
are? And by knowing both our strengths and weaknesses, we will be able to have
a higher chance of avoiding errors and mistakes in, and it will help us choose the right life decisions.

I am the fourth child in our family. And since most of my older siblings are
now working, my younger sister and I are now responsible for doing most of the
household chores. Having the responsibility of doing the household chores helps
me in managing my time wisely.
I am a 3rd-year student at the
University of Southeastern Philippines and currently taking up Bachelor of
Science in Information Technology under the Institute of Computing.

I am a member of our Youth Organization in my barangay which aims to help other
people in our barangay by providing them free services like conducting feeding
programs for malnourished children and joining Bayanihan clean up every first
Saturday and Sunday of the month. Another thing that we do as a member of this
youth organization is helping those out of school children by providing them
reading materials and teaching them some basic knowledge like reading, writing,
and counting. It is quite fulfilling knowing that you did something right to
your fellow kabarangays and it feels so good every time someone
acknowledges even the small things you do.
I think all of us shared the same role in this world and that role is to
become a better and useful citizen, inspire other people by doing good deeds,
and lastly our role as a nature
protectors, God lend us this beautiful place which is the planet earth and
in-exchange to that we must preserve and protect.
Purpose in life
Identifying your roles in different aspects just like what we did in the second
activity will help us identify our real purpose in life. When you truly know
yourself, you will be able to identify your true
purpose. A person who lives with a goal in life put his/her heart into his/her
career and builds relationships with his/her friends and family. To satisfy their personal needs, they reserve
adequate time. People who live with a purpose in life have their core values
and a beliefs that may affect their decisions, shape their day to day actions and determine their short and long term
priorities.
Living
life with a purpose will make us put an essential value on being a person of
high integrity and in gaining the respect and trust from others. The result is
that we will live life with a moral sense and took time listening and
appreciating our own inner voices than being influenced by others. Every day, a
person who is inspired by his/her purpose in life faces challenges without fear
and doubt. People who live with passion pursue their dreams and put their heart
into everything they do, and feel that they’re personally making a difference.
Passion
Passion can push people to do
the best things in life, and at the same time,
it can also make people do the most
horrible possible things in life. Passion is an important factor in every
single man in this world. Passion gives us the drive to achieve our life goals. Our love and passions in our life make us
do the best thing that we can and make the best out of everyday experience
we encounter. My life has many things that involve endurance of passion.
Maintaining the drive is the only obstacle that I come across. A
school is a place where many events take place every
day. Each day is filled with some new drama or task that needs to be taken care
of. Those tasks may include many little problems such as finding a ride home
from school, homework, test, appearance, and self-esteem issues. My passion
drives to get excellent grades and to get through my high school years
with memories worth remembrance. It's quite challenging to find the energy to
get out of bed every morning, but
with encouragement given at school from friends and even some teachers,
everyone can make it. The importance of having the passion and drive is
it will make you do things better to propel you to your success.
As we go on to our discussion, our facilitator emphasized the importance of
venturing in a team. But before you join and engage in a group, the first thing that you must do is to
prepare yourself in entering in a new environment for you to be able to adjust
to the different personalities among your team members, since not everyone
shares the same interest. And to have a
peaceful and harmonize team, you and your team members must understand and
respect each other by being open to
accepting different opinions from your members. You should find the balance
from your different
opinions and views then decide for a
perfect decision to achieve the common goal you want to achieve. Having the ability to cope up with your team is an
essential factor in a company or business enterprise. Division of roles in an organization is also an indispensable factor for venture in a team;
each member must assign a role for each
member that suits their capabilities and abilities to ensure a balanced
team. When it comes to business, a team took a crucial role in the
company. Respect and harmony are the keys in having and producing a productive
outcomes
Another thing that we discussed
is about enriching ourselves to create wise decisions and formulate a vision
and objectives. To achieve success in life, one should have an idea and a
vision in life that it will serve as a guideline towards achieving your
goals. In creating your views in your
life, you must trust and believe in yourself that you are capable of
doing anything whatever hardships and trials will come. You may encounter significant obstacles along your way but always
remember that this will serve as a training ground for you to make yourself
stronger and better. My vision in life is to become successful in whatever
field of job I’ll choose, and also I want to inspire others by doing good
things.
