is the action that the members of a nation when
seeking to achieve or sustain full statehood with
complete authority over domestic and international
affairs.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
• Do you know where you are going to? Where do you see
yourself one year, five years, and perhaps ten years down
the road?
• A personal development plan will help you figure that out
and help you get there.
• Jonathan Wells, (2012) in his book Seven Simple Steps--
Life Transformation Guide states that success requires an
articulated goal. It is not a product of wishful thinking.
• Purpose will set the context and get you
thinking about your life and what is important
to you.
• Prepare your own personal devlopment plan.
Be guided by by these components suggested
by Wells.
Personal Development Plan

• 1. Your True Self--Begin with some

introspection to help you define your values,
your patterns, and your beliefs.
• 2. Make it Personal--Understand success and
achievement, what is means to you and to
others.
• 3. Know Your Outcome--Set your goals and
how to achieve them. This section is really
about knowing where your're going.
• 4. Design Success--Lay out your “success
blueprint.” If the prior section covers where
you're going, this is about how you'll get
there
Personal Development Plan
• 5. Harness the Power--Determine to make your
plans a reality. In order to succeed, you need more
than a plan, that plan needs to be executed.
• 6. Accept Success--Establish a mindset to succeed
in bringing your desired outcomes to fruition.
• 7. Life is Circular--Look forward to the future, and
move on beyond the completion of your plan.
CONCLUSION
• A value literally means the worth or importance of
particular thing. Some things have greater value than
others. Things with greater value are more preferred
and sought by individuals. They serve as a basis for
decision making since people normally choose those
which will bring them happiness and contentment
both intrinsically and extrinsically.
