Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by being aware of danger. It is a feeling of being afraid and a feeling of respect and wonder for something very powerful.

This is true, I know women that are not able to let a man be in total leadership. They have to learn to let a man be a man and a woman be a woman. Stop being scared. #men #women #matchmaking #knowingthyself (at Flamingo Villas)

Knowing thyself

You know yourself better than anyone else in this world, but how sure are we that we know our self enough?

This very interesting subject of our last semester, Interpersonal Communication, had an activity for us to discover more about ourselves, it was putting a paper on each of our backs and make everyone in the class write (what they see or think) the strength and weakness of that person.

As a student, this is a great way to see how each of us viewed each others strengths and weaknesses, how we react behind each others back and this can define how well we know each other in all these years. After the activity I'm  not quite surprised with the results as I am aware to some of those, what surprised me was the 'holding back her opinion' which I hilariously agreed. Although I always know that to myself and I just realized that someone actually see that it was my weakness although I always hold my opinion back especially when I think I'm not sure about it's accuracy and I think it's for my own good because I never want to say anything that I'll be sorry afterwards. I always ensure that it is right and accurate before I let it out, but after this activity I thought that it might be my weakness because that became my mindset which actually doesn't have a positive effect on me either. What I also realized after was just a very few people in that room totally knew the real me, most of them only wrote what they see and to sum it up, being 'friendly', 'talented', 'smart' are my some of my visible strengths while 'absenteeism' and 'tardiness' are my visible weaknesses. Upon applying Johari's window, I discovered that I barely knew myself and I have a lot more to discover because I can't clearly define who and what makes me 'me' in one thought. After the activity we've transferred some of the strengths and weaknesses in our 'Arena'. According to them, I am courageous which is very true in some ways and I also included it in my arena even before the activity, some mentioned that I'm genuine, adorable, talented, friendly, jolly, pretty, sexy, witty and 'sometimes industrious'. Lol. While on the other side, I am very aware of the fact that I am not a kind of person who is time conscious that's why I always come 'late' on almost every class I attend. I'm someone who easily get sick that's why there are times that I'm 'absent'. Some mentioned 'lazy', yes maybe because I like doing things before the very last minute of submission or they just don't see my efforts, I may be late but I responsibly do my tasks always. Some wrote that I am 'sassy', I'm aware but I know that I'm actually not sassy or maybe my aura but not literally, they'll only realize when they get to know me better. Someone wrote that I am 'naughty', child-like kind of naughty. Yes maybe because I don't move like a lady who's demure, feminine and all. I'm actually a boyish type of girl who loves annoying my friends. We'll as long as I enjoy it, I don't mind. I don't think it's my weakness because that's just me being me. Someone wrote that I am sensitive, I am not sensitive but when it comes to that person I am being sensitive, that person deeply knows me better than anyone else in that room. Lastly, I’m very aware and I hate myself for 'cursing a lot' it became my expression and I know people are already used to it but that's the one thing that I find hard to change. As this activity made me see things more clear about myself, what to improve and the things that I should appreciate. I will always continue to improve myself, I think I'll try to be more nice and kind because everyone doesn't see that I am although I know deep inside that I truly am. I'll refrain myself for cursing a lot. I will try to be more careful in everything. I will try to be more productive and I'll be more understanding and patient. May God give me strong will to do this in His guidance and help me change for the better. I will always continue seeking for a room of improvement in my life to create the best version of me in the near future. Thanks to our beautiful professor. I learned so much and I’ve become more motivated this coming year to shape myself to be a better person.

I swear I am approachable in help and attention I can offer but I don't engage myself to nonsense conversations. I rather have lousy geeky one but nonsense is beyond things I can handle. But yeah, there's an exemption. Haha! Seriously, I can't even stay a minute! Lols! 😂😂😂
