As individuals, it's very significant to experience development and growth in every aspect of our lives. Even though we can't prognosticate when it will come, there are certain measures you can put in place in order to see things you find yourself doing fillip, burgeon and skyrocket.
Development refers to the process of change particularly of structural nature, towards the enhancement of the individual's scope of self-fulfillment and the socio-economic well-being of the people. It involves the transformation of society through institutions, organizations, social rules,customary usages and changed attitudes, that propel the society towards a more positive socially desired modern change. It involves human development and growth in every aspect of his life. It's necessary to note that, pursuing one's parochial development agenda without considering the national development agenda, may not culminate in a true and holistic development agenda of the individual, let alone the larger citizenry.
Pursuing one's selfish interest may culminate into exhibiting baleful tendencies. These folks who engage in "galamsey", think they are doing it in order to fulfill their instincts but they have no idea how their actions can trigger commotion to the next generation. We equall have a role of contributing our quota to the society. Helping folks who are in need is perceived not to be developed culture in many societies, as people are not willing to help those who don't have the requisite resources and spondulicks to finance and establish a specific project.
Reality is, the youths have more relevant and marketable ideas that can help enhance development, as they are expected to take over from the aging workforces of the country but they lack the needed support to help turn, churn and utilize these ideas as well as engaging in profitable and productive ventures that will also help them burgeon. These helpless and unattended to youths then become a great threat to societal tranquility and harmony to the detriment, as a result of their inability to secure a decent employment.
However, some of these things impede societal growth and changing these diabolic and noxious attitudes thus, shouldn't be individualistic. Specific stakeholders should help in the campaign to protest against these tendencies and also use their mediums to influence these people to turn away from their negative, through intensive education. These stakeholders include; the teachers, where they can inculcate into their students, the consequences of some of these detrimental traits, transport unions, where they can advice public transport drivers and mates about hygiene, so not to liter anywhere they find themselves, the media ( both print and electronic) can also help in this, as well as everybody.
If we want people to trust us in business wise or in all aspects, we must be ready to put up a good character. Question is, what are people's perception about you? It's significant to notice the questions people ask and the conclusions they draw in connection with their relationship with you. We must exhibit good tendencies if we want people to perceive us as such. If you take care of your character, your reputation will take care of itself.
This is because, your character is the greatest paraphernalia you will need to succeed in life. It determines the height you want to attain in life; self-actualization, thus, there's a need to personally develop yourself. How then do you develop yourself? For you to be personally developed, you must be able to put up a character that must be embraced by all.
Horace Grecely( Newspaper Editor, Newyork) once quoted, "Fame is vain, popularity an accident, riches take wings, but character only endures". Your charisma can fillip you to the top but your character will determine whether you will be able to stay therw or drop. Some people are currently jobless not because there are inadequate employment opportunities, but they probably exhibited certain bad and unacceptable attitudes that accounted for their dismissal. We must fathom that, a perceptible and definite change in attitudes goes a long way to ensure social development.
