How did you perform your self Development, tell as much ways?

of doing that as possible.

Learning
De-learning what I had learnt previously

Eating foods that are healthy to me and not at the cost of the Earth and other sentient beings.
Making sure I get enough sleep, but not too much (6 hours = centenarian possibilities).

What is the ethical validity of personal/self development?

What is ethical validity?

ethical validity is when you don’t cross ethical guidelines as posted by the APA

such as the Harry Harlow’s monkey experiments would clearly be crossing the guidelines that they posted.

and, modern research can only be held valid if certain ethical guidelines are followed

Motivating an employee to pursue self development activities?

I have a project I am working on. The goal is to figure out some rewards (besides money) that will motivate employees to want to further their education outside of work. The company already has monetary rewards in place if an employee completes a certification. I am just looking for some other ideas of potential rewards that will motivate the employees.

Titles. People love to have new titles. It doesn’t even have to necessarily change their job description.

Ramadan: its the best time to work on self-development?

Ramadan: its the best time to work on self-development?

This Ramadan what have you planned to accomplish, in terms of becoming a better person? spirtually? emotionally, mentally…maybe even physically??

lets here it folks

Well, its not just in Ramadan but I have been working on myself for quite a time. But indeed, Ramadan does make a difference.

Since my connection with God is not that strong, or might not exist. I have planed to strengthen it, ie, prayers and all.

Other than that, I will keep on what I’m doing, exploring, learning, experiencing new things in life, gain knowledge and developing wisdom, talk to knowledgeable people.. I found a fair few here and still looking for more (if you can advice some users I can talk to … I’d appreciate it).

Mostly I spend my time talking about religion and faith.. I love talking about that because it helps in a way, to develop my inner faith in God and hopefully helping me reach a higher level of spirituality.
