Who Are You ?

Let's talk about self-awareness! Have you ever wondered how conscious you are about yourself? Have you ever thought about who you are, what you want and why you want it? In this situation, you are the one directing your mind instead of letting it direct you. Well, a lot of people intend to clarify this situation but they do not know how to direct their thoughts wisely. Knowing our likes and dislikes, our strengths and weaknesses and even our own personality includes in self-awareness.


“Knowing others is wisdom, knowing your self is Enlightenment” 
- Tao Tzu -





Self-awareness is also an essential for effective communication and interpersonal relations, as well as for developing empathy for others. Some people say that happiness is created through self-awareness. You yourself are the only one who can determine the thoughts you think, the words that come out of your mouth and the emotions you create. Even children nowadays can express their feelings through emotions.

As we can see, based on the video, Tan Hong Ming challenged himself to express his emotions of love and express emotions out of his reactions of fear. They didn’t even force him to express his feelings but yet, he’s the only one who wanted to express it and he can change what he believes in any second. Anyhow, by letting your mind express what you feel can actually change the possibilities in your life.

In conclusion, it is important to have self-awareness in life. By self-awareness, you will be able to understand and have the mentally to control over your thoughts and beliefs, also your expression of emotion.
