Self Discovery

Self-exploration "What do you plan to do after acquiring a degree?" Whenever I declare my profession, this old-fashioned honest question never fails. I am a student, a senior in the subway, I am studying literature and history. Not only students, I am mother, wife, daughter, older sister, friend, and woman. No, I have not received a salary, but my life is fulfilling, satisfying, worthy and rewarding. I either teach, write letters, join businessmen in downtown, or become officials of bookstores.

Self-discovery is to gain knowledge about your identity. It is a mixture of the people you are related with the environment you are living in. One of the basic themes of Gulliver's Travels is a self-discovery journey. Gulliver began his exploration as an ambitious, practical and optimistic role to appreciate humanity, but at the end of the voyage he developed a blatant hatred for humanity. Because of the Gulliver's environment, his view on humans is cynical, which results in changes in self identity, identity crisis and global exhausted mental state.

Interest in self discovery of themes and practices has steadily increased since the 1960s. In the scientific era and the symbolism of individualism, the premise of self-discovery is to learn from ourselves to understand ourselves. Just as scientists assume a mature discovery of an objective world, self-investigators say they can steal her real self out into understanding by diligently making every effort. I am confident. As the interest in self discovery increased, I saw an extension of the corresponding tools and methods aimed at conceptualizing and distinguishing individual differences and abilities. This includes tools for evaluating personality traits / types (eg INTP), intelligence, interests, beliefs, values, etc. Personally I was immersed in the field of personality research for about 10 years and I wrote four books on personality type.

The first thing to understand is the concept of self-discovery. Learn what your personal inventory means and how you deal with what you find. Reading books on discovering yourself will open new insights and understandings. Some can be understood as a theory or sentence, others are designed as workbooks so that you can write down your thoughts after reading the section. Roberta Allen's "Finding Your Funny Way: Creative Workbook for Stimulating Self-Discovery" (2003) is an example. Her book explores your inner self in a relaxing and enjoyable way. The other is called your journey. It is a road map of Julie Fuimano for self discovery and acceptance (2005). You can search headlines at favorite bookstores and libraries, and introduce self-discovery strategies.
