 The YouTube video I watched is all about knowing oneself. The speaker significantly

discusses all about us. According to the speaker, " You is you; you are the one who shape

yourself" because it's yourself that comprises and experience difficulties. It's yourself who solve

all the problems and accept the reality about yourself. It's all included in the discussion of

speaker that, us is shaped also with the guidance and interest of our parents because our

personalities reflect what kind of parents we have, our personalities define what types of

guidance our parent imprinted to ourselves.

Yourself experience a lot of obstacles and difficulties in your daily activities that you

need to overcome and move forward. It's the external factors that can affect knowing and shaping

ourselves. Like the people around us, who judges and giving bad comments to ourselves. That's

why, we are confused and disappointed of ourselves because we are thinking that maybe what's

they said is truth and real. Maybe I'm that kind of person. We have these two factors that can

affect knowing ourselves; we don't have sense of what we're worth and we don't have sense hold

on our own values and judgements. We are judge by people around us.

Love is another major point because we need to ourselves. Love is another key for the

people to better known us. Because how can we give our love and intention of we don't have the

capability to do so. We are confused by ourselves; we can think that. I am giving love to

someone but why I am not giving love to myself.

We need to be kinds to ourselves and accept and don't neglect our true talents. In that, we

can conclude who really you and what type of person you are. Having a talent and being kind is
another good perspective that shape ourselves and in that also you will be known and praised by

people by having that kind of talent.

Our parent, who gives portrait of our identity. Who take on and enrich over the years?

That we can use as defense for distorting verdicts from hurried and ill-intentioned. It's on their

hands what's our identity and who are we. It's on their hands what kind of person we are. It's on

their hand what values and important characteristic that they will imprinted to us. That we give

interpretation and uses it as our weapon and instrument of becoming ourselves. Their parenting

strategy that we witnessed, we give interpretation to that and someday use it. Because I'm, what

kind of parents too have is the reflection of who you are.

For my conclusion, becoming and knowing ourselves is just the reflection of our parent.

Like what kind of parents, they are that the kind of person I am, and you are. It's all about people

who give misjudgment to us and our parent who give guidance and important values. We should

kind to ourselves and release to public our true talents so that they refrain from judging us. At the

end day, it's yourself or ourselves that you and I rooting for. It's only our ourselves who will stay

and get along to you. So, we must be kind to ourselves from this day on.
