Social Development Starts With Your Personal Improvement
Congratulations on your desire to make the world a better place. In these times, more agents of positive change like you who wish to make a contribution to society are sorely needed. However, before you can take on such huge responsibilities such as running for public office you need to work on your own personal improvement first.
Think about it: how can you expect people to believe in you and follow you if they see that you need to work on your character and personal life first? If you were in their place, would you support and vote for a candidate with questionable lifestyle and set of values? Of course not! Thats why you should aim for a better you if you want a better world. You cannot achieve your goals alone; you need other peoples support. And to get them to support you, you need to properly establish yourself as a role model.
Below are foolproof ways of becoming a better person.
1.Lead by Example.
Too many people have an opinion on how to improve society, but not enough people have the initiative to start. Include initiative in your personal improvement goals. Sometimes all it takes to make a major contribution to society is to start something positive on your own.
2.Learn to Respect Time.
One of the easiest ways to contribute to society is to be on time. Being late on deadlines and being late at meetings slow down productivity. If the production of a company is slow, its growth is slow as well. If growth is slow, expansions are delayed and new jobs arent created. Furthermore, time is one of the most important things that people have. Make sure you dont waste theirs. Include punctuality to your personal improvement goals.
3.Rest.
Your personal improvement goals should include developing a schedule that allows ample time for rest. Resting may seem like the opposite of contributing to society, but a closer look would prove otherwise. People who sleep less than 6 hours every night tend to have less focus and make more mistakes at work. Being well rested will allow you to contribute to society more since youll be more efficient at your endeavors.
4.Expand Your Influence.
An individual who has useful skills can make minor developments in his immediate environment. But an individual, who can convince individuals with useful skills to champion a cause, can change the world. If you can influence other people to make a contribution to society, you can make a major impact. When working on personal improvement, try to improve your interpersonal skills.
5.Improve Your Professional Skills.
If you want to make a contribution to society, improve your professional skills. A good teacher can create an entire generation of competent workers. A good engineer can construct roads that will benefit millions of people will use over the years. A good doctor can save many lives. Your professional skills should be a high priority in your personal improvement.
You will encounter detractors who will not hesitate to make a mockery of your efforts. Pay them no mind and focus on your goals. One day they will realize that you are doing something good that you might even shame them to become better persons.
