Over the whole semester I had gained the knowledge about my own life.

There are
many things around me that I left unnoticed. I have learned that there are many mental
processes around us that the only Psychology can really explain the real thing about that.
People has their own behavior.

After taking this course, I know to myself that I have my on limits. I spotted a big
different that I can really assess myself to become a new one. Change the usual thing I
do. Every behavior has their own huge impact to us or maybe to the people around us.
Some people may said that behavior is just a simple thing and we just need to ignore it.
But we really need to go deeper to know what reality about the word behavior is. If
everyone can have a real knowledge and see the real perspective of Psychology, they
can really understand the real effect of some abnormal behavior.

I was captured by the idea that we need to accept both success and failure. It was
reflected to myself; since elementary I always wanted to satisfy my parents about getting
a high grade and one of the top student in class. As I entered high school struggles are
getting harder, lessons that I can’t understand and laziness that overflow all over my body.
I ended up on cheating, copying answers just for my parents not to be disappointed. But
then I realize that cheating is not the best solution just to satisfy my parents. You will not
learn anything if you are just going to depend on cheating.

If we are going to face consequences of what we have done, we can learn many
things and abundant mind will bear upon us. We really need to embrace failure in our life.
It is part of our journey, as we embrace them; we are going to understand many things or
beyond of what we are. Anything you have done has their own consequences.

When we are child, we always suffer punishment if we have done something wrong
until we reach teenager. We always look upon that we are going to be punished. As what
I have learned punishment has a god side for us. If we know what can be our punishment
towards our work, we are push not to do a dangerous behavior. We always go to the good
behavior just not to suffer punishment.

As I grow, our main goals in life is being develop little by little. I have my motivation
just to reach my goals. What or who motivates to come to school? The question I
remember when we started to talk about motivation. Motivation is one of the factors that
drive us towards our goal. It’s the one who pursue our mind to work hard and do all the
possible way just to go in the path or right way of our dreams. It generates new ideas and
knowledge.

I always look forward about our needs. Needs is also associated with psychology.
We have physiological needs like breathing, thirst and hunger that come into our mind. I
have the needs of living in a safety environment where I can live peacefully. I need to love
and be loved by the people around me. It is very important to love be loved to avoid
loneliness. To be contented where I belong and be accepted of what I am. I need to
concentrate in my self-esteem, achievements and goals. Need to be recognize and
respected by other as how I respect them.

It is not always easy to satisfy our needs. I have embraced certain difficulties I my
attempts to satisfy my need. I always encounter failures. So much obstacles that obscure
and prevent me from reaching my goals. And if I didn’t make it at makes me frustrated
and chill in the bone.

Frustration has been part of my journey. It is the feeling when you are blocked to
attempt to satisfy needs. But as the lessons continue, I get on how to handle frustration.
Frustration can be cause by environmental forces. Sometimes if I want to do something
my parents is one of the hindrances toward. The other one is thru personal factors. I am
much looking forward to something that are unattainable sometimes it’s a valuable thing
or an event that I want to attend. Sometimes it’s complicated that create frustration.

Conflict is another one. I always ended up on choosing up between two or more

alternatives. I need to adjust and think which I am going to choose. For example, I am
going to decide whether to buy a new clothes or invest it in my motor bike by buying
accessories. Then if I am going to join my friends for our get trip or staying at home for
some review for the incoming examination. If I will go with them I will be happy and spend
time with them but how about my grades. If I will stay at home for some review I can get
a successful result. But Psychology taught me on how to choose wisely if I get in a conflict
situation again.
 But as the days goes by, Psychology opens up my mind about on how to have a
good relationship with other people around you and having a social life. I am not that kind
of person that will stay all day without talking to somebody. I always wanted to have a
little conversation with other people. Having a good communication with other is a good
sign that you are extending your mind with others. Sharing thoughts, ideas or events will
do. I see a good evaluation towards other people who are always excited to have a
sharing-ideas event.

I have strong a connection with people that I am most comfortable. Loving them is
one of the best thing for me. Speaking about love, Psychology gave knowledge about this
feeling. I always think that love is associated with the like. But they have a great
difference. Love is more complicated than just you like a person. Like is like a watered-
down version of love. Liking somebody is you are just happy being with them but loving
someone is he/she means to you.

Love can be complicated according to my teacher. Love can cause bad if you are
taking it seriously. That’s the way that you can have a good relationship with your opposite
sex. Then you will do anything just to satisfy him/her. Until you are gone in a situation that
you will need to be separated from your family and build your own.

Then nowadays, some of my classmate or friends are involved to early stage of

making their own family. Because of too much love, they ended up teenage pregnancy.
Having a good and enough knowledge about this can help you a lot.

We talk over early pregnancy because it is timely on our generation of having a

family in an early stage. There are so many ways or method on how to control pregnancy.
But why some teenagers are always involved in this scenario? It is because they are lack
of knowledge about this.

Family planning is very important if you are just starting. I get it very interesting
because all of us that time will come we are going to build our own family. That is why I
am nurtured and my mind was opened about on how to control birth. This will be a very
helpful idea to help myself. Maybe some of us cannot appreciate this kind of lessons but
there is time for this. We can already help ourselves in just a simple way.
 Intelligence is also connected. All of us know our capacity of intelligence.
Intelligence has different field, on where we excel. Like me, I almost excel in the field of
physical intelligence. Sports is one of the most common as I am inclined to this. Some of
us may excel in cooking or solving math problems. I am also aware about the A.I or the
artificial intelligence. Computers now are being operated by this.

Attain excellence and recognition is one of the best thing for me. Being recognize
for a good cause and not to be ignored. I always work hard for what I want and improve
my task performance. Comparing for what you have done with someone is not a best
thing. Just to be honest in myself and continue what I’ve started.

I didn’t know why people bear different behavior. Why can we just stick to a uniform
behavior? People’s behavior will be different based on the factor that can affect them.
Factors like the environment where they belong or to the people they associate with.
These are the main factors why they behave that. We don’t know the reason behind it.
Stereotyping is not a good thing to do but we can go deeper to know the best reason.

Another one is the personality. Each one of us has their own unique personality.
Personality develops on the different stages in our life from our birth until we grow. Then
stages will bear a task or things to do and how will you accomplish that. Its start when we
go for our first bite and later will develop to chewing. And as we grow we continue to look
for that. Then we develop the on emptying the bowel and was thought to follow the anal
retentive personality. As you go through you will be much curious about your genitals and
start to play with it. Yeah I know each one of us did this. Until you developed on how to
associate with our opposite sex. Then you will know and opens up your mind to a more
developed doings. Recurrence of playing your genitals. Sexual interest developed with
the people needs and desires.

That stages were developed by the great man in the field people’s behavior; Sir
Sigmund Freud he believes that personality was largely determined by powerful but
hidden unconscious forces and drives. It start when we are young as I’ve said until your
mind are fully developed. Our personality are mold and shaped by our environment that
has a big effect directly towards us.
 There is no more queries about the good impact on the field of Psychology. He
brought many answers in the different questions. But some of this are subjected to some
criticism but behind it is the big help for someone. He influenced and discipline until this
time.

In my overall assessment to myself, Psychology was extremely beneficial. All the

ideas that I just ignore are the biggest part of my life or can even change myself. Emotions
that I feel, frustration that made me stronger, conflict that made me think twice or thrice,
punishment that drives me to act good behavior and failure that I learned to embrace are
as clear as a water now for me. Having this all ideas can help me no to live happily ever
after.
