1. Have you seen any discrepancy of your ideal self from your real self? If yes, what will you
do to achieve your ideal self? If no, what else you would like to work out to achieve your
ideal self? Answer this briefly using the provided lines below.
Yes I see a little discrepancy between my ideal self and my real self, particularly in
terms of physical appearance. In this regard, I don’t have anything to do but accept and
learn to be content with what I have, which is the most important thing I can do to live a
happier life. In terms of traits, I have a chance and time to become who I want to be; it’s
simply a matter of learning and practicing, which is the most effective way to obtain the
ideal self I desire. But, for the time being, I am grateful and lucky for what I have and who I
am. I am comfortable and happy with myself as a whole.
