Renaldo's concept on life

People always say that i'm very care free and i'm a happy go lucky guy, Well my concept of life is that , if there's nothing you can do at that particular moment, then why worry? Another concept of mine is that, whats life without a little risk. I mean, how much safety precaution can one take. If something is going to happen, then its going to happen. And lastly, what ever goes around, comes around.

Self Concept

What is self concept? How you think about or evaluate yourself. It includes your feelings and thoughts about your strengths and weaknesses, your abilities and limitations.

Self- concept is influenced by your sense of identity. Two things have powerfull effects on your self concept:

(a) The opinion and judgements other people make of us

According to Charles Horton Cooley's concept of the looking- glass self, you would look at the image of yourself that others reveal to you through the way they treat you and react to you.

You would look espcially to those who are most significant in your life- to your significant others. For example, as a child, you would look to your parents and then to your teachers. If your significant others think highly of your, you will see the positive image of yourself reflected in their behaviours; if they think little of you, you will see a more negative image. These reflections that you see others help you define your self- concept.

(b) Social Comparisons

It is the perceptions of the ways in which you are similar to and different from other people. When you want to gain insight into who you are and how effective or competent you are, you probably look to your peers. For example, after an examination you probably want to know how you performed relative to the other students in your class.

My self concept

I think that I am quite clumsy and don't how to use my brain. This is because when my mother ask me to do something for her and I did wrongly or not according to her wish, then she will scold " Use your brain!". This also make me lack of confidence in doing things. This shows that because of my significant other think little of me, so I have the negative image of myself. In addition, I will also build my self concept by making comparision with my peers. When I was in secondary school, I will compare my result with my classmates. If most of my classmates get low marks than me, then i will have the concept that my result is good and vice versa.

Mine Self Concept

I am a quiet person.
I was told that I was very intelligent but I am lazy and careless. Those mistakes can be avoided if I am pay more attention.
I am easily bored, when bored I start to draws.
I am talented in crafts and arts but it seems to be a useless talent.
I don't like to reveal too much of myself, because I believe that people out there will hurt you if we were disclose too much personal infomation especially our weaknesses.
So, i shall end here...
T_T sorry...

My Self- Concept

Self - Concept, I'm sure all of you know what it means. Self concept is actually what you think about yourself. Ok... Let me see...What do i think about my self.

Basically I'm a very quiet person as you see, but when you get to know about me more I'm actually not that quiet. So i guess the term "Trait apprehension" best suits my personality. (haha...)

In addition, I'm also afraid to speak in public. When I'm close and familiar to a person i can sometimes be a pest to them (If i have the mood ^-^). Furthermore, i am also an observer. I love to observe people and what they do. From that, i will roughly try to guess how the person is. Besides, I'm very fast at trusting a person and that might be some thing very dangerous. (I'll have to learn to not trust people very fast!!). Hence, I'm a person who will always keep my problems to myself. I never share any problems i have to anyone. In my school days till today, my friends and family will always share their problem with me. Even if i don't share my problem with anyone, but i am a good listener though.( So you can count on me!!!)

When I'm at home i will be a totally different person. At times i can get angry real fast. ( That's something i don't really like about) I'm also a very shy and timid person,( I wish I'm not) and because of that I've actually missed a lot of interesting things in life. As said I'm only noisy when I'm with the people i know. Furthermore, i love to try something new and adventurous.( Its kind of fun!!) In brief, i can say that I'm not the brave and outgoing type but I'd always love to try and achieve something new in life.
