Self- Assessment
20 16 Your inner self is very strong; you depend upon your internal self for
points: strength.
15 11 Your inner self is strong enough
points:
10 6 points: Your inner self is somewhat strong, but you have to start checking the
statements that you chose and see if you can start to strengthen your
inner self.
5 1 points: You depend on others and on your external features to feel good about
yourself. You need very much to develop your inner self and inner
strength.
Analysis:
Whatever your score is, look at the explanations below and see where you need to
change in order to be more internally strong.
1. A) I can work by myself. Your inner self makes you able to work by yourself and
that is good.
2. B) I care about what happens to me and I plan how I could succeed in my life,
no matter what others think. This is the mark of a strong inner self and an inner
desire to succeed.
3. B) I test an idea, whether good or bad, before I decide that it is correct. An
internally strong person can wait while testing an idea before undertaking it. She or
he does not go ahead with an idea by feeling good about; the idea must be tried
and tested first. This is what a rational person is like.
4. B) I like being with my friends because I feel I am equal to them. This means
that you are internally strong and that you do not depend on external characteristics
to be accepted by others.
5. B) I do not worry about how I look like because whats important is my inner
self. This is a sign that you are secure about your external appearance, even if you
dont look so handsome or beautiful compared to your other friends,
6. B) If I fail, I analyze why I failed and take responsibility for my failure. This is the
sign of a strong personality: not blaming others for your mistakes. An internally
strong person is not afraid of failure and learns much from why he failed. That
person does not blame others for his failure. Instead, that person takes personal
responsibility for it, studies the situation, and lives on with better awareness.
7. A) I am proud of my parents because of what they stand for, even though they
are not rich. The internally strong person who does not depend on material things
to love and respect family members.
8. B) If I get to have a comfortable house to live in, it is because I worked hard for
it. An entrepreneur works hard for what material benefits and comforts he gains for
himself and his family.
9. A) I think I can learn from all experiences, whether big or small, in my day-to-
day life. An entrepreneur learns from all the experiences and challenges she has
faced in life.
10. B) Id like to spend my days doing work that I feel is important and I think
about how I will succeed someday. An entrepreneur works wholeheartedly in his
projects and even worries about it sometimes.

What is Character
Character is something that is inside you which people see no matter how hard
you hide it. Saying that someone has character means a lot; it is the biggest
compliment a person can ever have from someone else.
Character is a combination of traits that show strong ethical principles and
maturity in a person. Ethical principles are standards for right or wrong behavior that a
person values highly.
Your true character will show whether people are watching you or not. Character gives
you the inner strength and courage to do the right thing all the time. This in truth makes
you confident that you are doing the right thing and that you are at peace with yourself
no matter how hard the situation will be.
Activity 1: Directions: Select someone in your community whom you think has a strong
character. After your interview, answer the questions in the spaces found below.
A. What internal characteristics and physical features of this person led you to
believe he or she is a person of character?

Your inner strength and character come most especially from your conscious
effort to think about and put your values into practice in positive ways. In time, putting
your values into action becomes automatic. That is how the good habits of a strong
person are developed. Perhaps you do not practice some of the pillars of character yet.
The activity below will point you in the right direction.
