Rules on Self Development is a good topic for writing a Review. Before the Rules are identified and listed, it is necessary to discuss about all aspects of Self Development.
Self Development can be looked at several angles.
1. Mental Development
2. Physical Development
3. Spiritual Development
Mental Development : Personality Development is the most important, and we have to consider Personality from a holistic view. For example, Memory Development is a very important component of Personality Development. Career Development is another important factor. Within the framework of Career Development is the whole area of Academic Development - What and where one should study, and how to plan for Career Development. So, all these areas are inter-twined with each other. When one is considered the other can not be left behind. Career Guidance is a vital issue, and a neglected one also. It has to start in the family when the child is very young. Colleges and Universities should have Career Guidance Centres. There are now Career Guidance Consultants available in cities. But, what about the rural areas ?
Physical Development : A healthy body promotes a healthy mind. And a healthy body can be acquired by regular habits, good food and physical exercise. Yoga promotes a healthy body as well as a healthy mind.
Spiritual Development : Prayer is the soul of spiritual development. Regular prayers do a lot of good. They drive away evil thoughts. There are good books and magazines available on this subject.
