Understanding

A lot of people are finding it hard to understand other people. But for some people it is even harder to understand himself. A lot of self-help books are becoming more popular these days because many people realized they need a lot of help, especially in understanding oneself. In my class one day, I asked my students the simple question "Who are you?", aside from telling their names, address, age, and other common information, they can't seem to go on. They run out of things they knew about themselves or understand about themselves. Upon further probing, they realized they need to get to know themselves more and was challenge to do so.

Knowing ones weakness and strength will help us to adjust, learn and even change for the better, and be the person we should be.

Understanding self makes one accept and love oneself more. And eventually can also make understanding others easier.
