The concept of a Positive Self

A world that changes very rapidly making life increasing competition. Parents at this race racing to provide education provision, the stock is held as the best education for children. Parents in general, the assumption is the higher level of formal education the more secure the future of their children. What is that?

To answer the question that we need to see around us. How many graduates of "ngganggur"? How many overseas graduates, who after returning to Indonesia, can not work or does not work? How much cum laude graduate of the achievements of ordinary life-usual? Instead there are many people that he is a normal academic achievement, but the achievements of ordinary life is extraordinary. Thus, the actual academic achievement is not a guarantee of success alive.


Results of research conducted in the United States by Dr. Eli Ginzberg and the team found one of the surprise. This study involved 342 research subjects who are graduates from various disciplines. The subject of this research are students who successfully obtain scholarships from Colombia University. Dr. Ginzberg and his team examine how successful the 342 students in their lives, five years after they complete their studies. Results of research that really surprising that the researchers are:

They get a pass with the award (the predicate, Summa cum laude or cum laude), they get the award for the akademiknya, their successful entry in the Phi Beta Kappa who was more likely a normal-normal

Results of this study demonstrate that there is no direct relationship between academic success and life success. Then what the factors key to success of human life?

The key to the success of living is a positive self-concept. Self-concept plays a huge role in determining the success of a alive, because the concept itself can dianalogikan as an operating system that runs a computer. Apart from most any computer hardware and programs that are installed when the system is not operating properly and a lot of errors so the computer can not work with the maximum. The same applies to humans.

The concept itself is the operating system running on a computer mental, that affect someone's ability to think. This concept of self-install after the pitch will go to the subconscious mind and have a weighting of 88% effect level of awareness in a while someone. The better the self-concept will be more easy for someone successful. Similarly, vice versa.

The process of forming the concept of self-starting since the child is still small. Critical period of the formation of self-concept is a time children enter primary school. Glasser, an education specialist from the United States, states that the first five years in primary school will determine the "fate" next child. Often the process of education is wrong, when in elementary school, result in damage to children's self-concept.

We can see someone's self-concept of their attitude. Self-concept will lead to the ugly does not feel confident, does not dare to try new things, do not dare try the challenge, fear of failure, fear of success, feel oneself stupid, low self, do not feel self-worth, are not eligible to succeed, pessimistic, and many other inferior behavior.

Instead of the concept itself will always be both optimistic, dare to try new things, the success, dare to fail, confident, enthusiastic, self feel valuable, set the goal of life, be positive and think, and can be a reliable leader.
