This will make me more appreciative of people I hold dear and less judgmental or condemnatory to those I do not have much liking for.
But how do we really get to know a person? I believe it is only through open lines of communication that relationships grow and nourish.
So from now on, I aim to breed the habit of telling people how I feel, as our actions are bound to be misinterpreted and what we are trying to portray could be very contradictory to their observations. Likewise, opening yourself up to people around you makes them comfortable to show their inner selves to you, too. This could also be achieved through listening, another skill I would like to master. Simultaneous listening and sharing one's insight is similar to Wood's perception checking. Perception checking is a very important skill in relationship-building because it narrows down probable interpretations of ambiguous actions (Wood, p. 50).
Listening to other people is as weighty as talking in building...
Relationships with no pretentions and those forged through open lines of communication are bound to last, and I do believe that quality relationships are essential not just for our sustenance, but also for our growth as well.
A also plan on learning other cultures more closely. That way, I would not be caught off-guard when I see other culture's practices and behaviors that digress from mine. That way, I would be able to sit through world news channels without being too judgmental on other races, feeling mine is superior than the rest. That way, I would cultivate even more respect for other people, those that I might be working with or people whose lands I might be travelling to someday.

If he has good self-concept, he will see the feedback as a chance to weigh things, improve self and deepen his self-understanding. However, if he has otherwise, he may not accept the feedback, feel bad about it and possibly even refuse to recognize the experience and/or the person/s involved in it. This denial to address the event may ultimately cause social and individual stagnation. The interplay of self-concept and emotions
Careers in the corporate sector, especially those within multinational organizations, NGOs or government agencies would be the ones most suitable for my personality and value system. Similarly, my ability to deal with change and stress make me well-suited for careers in the global business environment, in which I would be expected to travel and communicate with people from different cultural backgrounds than my own.

Self-Assessment The effective use of qualitative research When I first embarked upon this course, I only had a vague idea about the purposes of the different qualitative research methods. While I knew the distinctions between grounded theory, case studies, phenomenology, narratives, and ethnographies on an intellectual level, when I assessed different studies over the course of my own research, I was less concerned about the different processes used to reveal the results
Self-Care Strategies Self-care is a widely acknowledged aspect of Counseling. Through research, studies and hard-earned self-knowledge, experts have defined personal attributes, strategies such as mentoring, and qualities that can lead to development of the therapeutic self. Due to differing experiences and results, experts may differently name those attributes, strategies and qualities but all are focused on taking care of the self as the counselor takes care of his/her clients and other
Self-Reflection Life development There has been a lot of focus put on the concept of life and the growth process, the development of the human mind and even the behaviors displayed as one grows and the changing patterns of the behaviors of the individual. Scholars have come up with varied explanations on what shapes behavior of people with some going for the physical contact and the physical world, while others going for
Self-Esteem and Nursing When I first began to study and learn about nursing, I never thought very much of what the concept of self-esteem meant to me. Self-esteem seemed like an abstract psychological concept, and I still was mainly preoccupied with the demands of nursing as a physical profession that required technical expertise. However, as I grew wiser, I began to see how my initial assumptions were fundamentally in error. People
