The document discusses the importance of self-development and how it is key to success beyond just education and training. It argues that while education and training are important, they can only provide knowledge and skills, but real development must come from within through conscious effort to nurture oneself. No matter how good the education, environment, or materials, if the individual is unwilling to accept self-development, then nothing will change. True success depends on taking steps to improve oneself first before anything else.

You can train me, you can educate me, but you can’t develop me-I develop.
Personal point of view
From an early age, we are told that one must invest in “good education”. We believe that getting a good education means maximizing our potential to find better jobs, better pay grade, and success in our chosen field or career.
It is true that formal education coupled with various trainings are important. They nurture us, they equip us with the knowledge that we must possess to achieve our goals. Generally, we think of it as an answer to the success we are all dreaming of.
This notion, however, is the very reason why we fail to realize that the development of oneself does not only depend on the learnings or trainings that a person has. One must have to recognize that the key to everything that we ever hoped for is- our very own self.
“You can train me, you can educate me, but you can’t develop me-I develop.”
I looked back to all those years I spent in college. I was enrolled in a well-known university known for its diverse learning environment and its competent and efficient educators. Yet, there were times when I felt like I’m stuck. No growth, emotionally and mentally, despite the fact that I already have knowledgeable professors, an environment conducive for learning and all the materials necessary for my studies. It felt like my system has rejected everything that has been taught to me. This was when I started to question myself. Am I doing enough? Am I doing it right?
I started reflecting. I created a personal vision-a clear idea of what I want to be
and why. I decided to focus on myself and nurture it. I made self-development a daily practice. I made it a lifestyle. I became committed to developing myself and eventually, to everything I wanted to attain. Things became better for me. I was able to grasp information easily, learn effectively and develop my skills strategically.
After a trip to memory lane, realization struck me. It was really up to me! No matter how good an educator is, no matter how rigorous a training is, no matter how diverse the learning environment is and no matter how efficient the materials are, if the person is unwilling to learn or if a person refuses to accept the idea of self-development, everything will go into waste. Development can only come from within you.
Our mentors/professors undeniably contributed to the success that we are
ripping today, and to that we should be really grateful. But also, we have to thank ourselves from years ago. For realizing that unless we move, unless we make a conscious effort to nurture ourselves first before anything else, we can never become the person we want to be. An education student’s point of view
Development means evolution, growth, progress. In the field of teaching, it
was defined as the process of being “the best kind of teacher that one can personally be.” Over the years, education has evolved in leaps and bounds. Teachers strive _____ You can train me, you can educate me, but you can’t develop me-I develop.
Education and training are pivotal to ensure that a person is well equipped with the knowledge and skills that he/she ought to have to hit his/her goals and reach the peak of success.
Most people attribute success to knowledge and skills alone which can be acquired through good education and specialized trainings. Our current mindset is that, when a person receives a high quality of education or training, he/she automatically becomes successful in the future.
This was my mentality before but I came to realize that there is something more that may contribute to one’s success. A huge factor that some of us fail to recognize. That factor is us, ourselves. Knowledge and skills are something which can be learnt in classrooms but attitude and the urge to develop oneself is something which is within. It is only us who can make it happen.
Take for example a trainee who was hired in a prominent company. The company provided him everything. Experienced and efficient trainer, innovative workshops and top of the line training materials. Yet, at the end of the day, he was unable to consider himself “better”. Can you say that something is wrong with the training? Or is there something wrong with the trainee himself? If the trainee possesses enthusiasm and motivation brought about by personal development, do you think he would feel the opposite?
The point of all of these is that real development can only come from within. We can never be better unless we do something about ourselves first. We must look inside ourselves and seek to understand or change what we find there that is likely to be the most effective way of moving forward and making things better. Additionally, make personal development a practice. Create a strong practice regimen. It is our habits that unfold the results, not the other way around. We can’t live one life and expect it to be different the next day. We have to put in place the daily habits that will allow the things we want to change to change.
No amount of universities, training camps, books or other materials can
make us the person we wanted to become if we don’t take the steps to improve ourselves first. As recent studies show, a high level of self-development can make a huge difference when it comes to obtaining success on a person’s chosen career and in other areas of life. It creates a positive attitude towards everything you put your attention and efforts to. “Knowledge is the key to success”- a daily reminder to myself since I was in college. How is knowledge acquired then? I asked myself. Through “good education” of course, as what other people say.
However, because of this notion, we usually fail to realize that no matter how good an educator is, no matter how rigorous a training is, and no matter how efficient the materials are, if the person doesn’t
No amount of good colleges or universities, of efficient professors of boks can make me
