RATIONALE FOR MAINTAINING „JOURNAL FOR SUCCESS‟

“Man’s main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The
most important product of his effort is his own personality.” -Erich Fromm

Dear Students,
In this fast-paced world, one finds it difficult to spare time to stop and reflect on various life
events. When this happens, it is possible that one feels that all the efforts and toil had gone in
the wrong direction and one is still far away from his or her goal. The art of achieving goal lies
in understanding our self, building on our strengths and overcoming weaknesses. This
facilitates the process of self-awareness, self-acceptance and progression towards self-reform.
Self-reform is the key to Happiness. For this purpose, self enhancement from the experiential
training in Behavioural Science would facilitate self-awareness and develop better
interpersonal skills to achieve professional success. To achieve professional success, skills
required are ‘personal’. This experiential learning will enable Individuals to gain insight into
behavioural aspects of self-governance. The Journal for Success, as an integral part of the
Behavioural Science course, is a tool for your introspection, self-exploration and self-
governance. It involves your own initiative to reflect on the discussions and activities during
the various workshops of Behavioural Science courses. The process of penning down personal
learning from class exercises and discussions is in itself a valuable device for self- awareness.
This Journal for Success may cover following information as a self-report
 Personal self-profile at the time of joining the course
 Your understanding of course content.
 Self-rating against personal enhancement skills
 Difficulties and obstacles in your personal development and learning the application
of the subject.
 Experiences which one feel are relevant to your training for personal and professional
enhancement (specifically during the training period)
 Assessment of own self as an excellent professional after the training through
Self- Rating, Interventions and Self-Profiling.

This Journal would work as an assessment and evaluation tool for self-knowledge and would
further help you develop the ability to:

 Recognize the uniqueness and expression of yourself and that of others

 Inculcating the ability to accept self and others.

 Communicate the awareness to yourself and others.

 Monitor events in your life and make decisions for the present and future.
For successful completion of the Behavioural Science programme, you are required to write
about your experiences and learning from each activity & discussion during all workshops in
 3

this Journal. You are required to inculcate these learning to effect positive change in your
behaviour & personality.

Your Personal Journal will be reviewed at the end of each semester till the completion of the
Programme. Self-Assessment, Self-Analysis, Synthesis, Focus, Exploration, Honest
Expression, Initiative and Consistency are some elements that will help you to maintain this
Personal Journal and enhance Behavioural Skills for success in life.

Wishing you a great insightful learning experience…!

WHO AM I?
(Entry Level)
My name is KHUSHI BAJORIA, a student of B.Arch 8th SEM in Amity University,
Chhattisgarh. I am a passionate student. I started my college life as an average student with a
dream to become a successful and good architect. The path has been tough and filled with
obstacles. I have felt demotivated and dull in many moments but the zeal of doing what I love
has made me go through the process.

I would explain myself as an ambivert. I love to meet new people and explore new adventures.
But at the same time, I tend to keep a lot of things to myself and am a very private person in
real life. The lack of emotional stability and anger issues has caused a lot of problems in my
life.

My strengths are my communication skills, time management and handling
pressure. And my weaknesses are my emotional instability and anger issues.

II. ABOUT YOUR GOALS:

My goal is to become a good person and a successful architect. An architect is a

person who builds dream house for people and convert their dream into reality and
that is what my goal is.

III. YOUR ROLE MODEL (STATE SPECIFIC REASON FOR THE SAME):
My role model as of now is my father, he sets up a new bar of hard work daily, how
he work unconditionally, focuses on what is important. He makes me meet new
version of him daily, the moment I think I know him properly now is the moment
when he shows me the new good side of him.

IV. ONE BOOK WHICH HAS INSPIRED YOU THE MOST AND WHY?
I personally have no fond of books.

V. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO ACHIEVE OUT OF YOUR

RESPECTIVE PROGRAMME?

From Architecture, I expect good values and a good professional carrier.

Architects shape dreams into reality and that’s what I want to do.

SCIENCE COURSE?

situations in a positive way.

LEARNING FROM THE ONLINES CLASSES: SEMESTER WISE

(BELOW GIVEN FORMAT TO BE STRICTLY FOLLOWED)

I. NAME OF THE TOPIC:

MODULE II – MANAGING PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS

II. OBJECTIVES OF THE TOPIC:

One of the most common questions I am asked on a regular basis is “What is the
importance of goal setting?” or “Is it really necessary to set goals?”

I can personally attest to its importance in my own professional life, and I simply
cannot overstate the fact that it always has been and remains one of the first steps
you will take in your journey toward finding your true calling and unparalleled
success.

To quote another expert on the subject, philanthropist, and author Tony Robbins,
“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”

I like that, don’t you? I think it explains the importance extremely well, but to delve
deeper into the topic and further explain the reason why I personally believe goal
setting to be of paramount importance when attempting to achieve success.

III. PERSONAL LEARNING FROM THE TOPIC:

THE TOPIC HAS TAUGHT ME THAT WHY AND HOW SETTING GOALS
BRINGS US CLOSER TO THE RESULT AND HELP US SHAPE A BETTER
FUTURE.

IV. MODULE:
MODULE II – MANAGING PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS
