3-2-1 Thursday by James clear

Hello dear readers, today I am going to share with you an important tool or Knowledge through which you can learn daily as well as just by taking out your few seconds every day, in order to achieve the higher level of self-development and personal success.

This is a kind of newspaper coming every week on Thursday. It contains 3 ideas 2 quotes and 1 question for your success and development.

So this Mailing service was created by Mr. James clear author of Atomic Habits and other successful articles and creation. You can also subscribe here on this link for free jamesclear.com

I am going to share with you the same mail I got received at every Thursday, with my personal opinion as well as some brief explanation.

Topic: - Decision making, Value of friends and self-improvement: -

3 Ideas from James: -

1- “progress requires unlearning”: - By this idea, James states that to continue moving forward or keeping your progress constant throughout your success definition you have to upgrade your memory as well as your thought process which in turn will change the whole you. It’s simple sentence but those three words are most powerful if we consider them as practical application on self. Unlearning is so underrated process throughout the courses of self improvement and personal development, that many of us who succeed uses it but still doesn’t know about this property of human. Truly Unlearning is a great Filter valve which can be used to refine your thinking, thoughts and decisions to be measured on various ground realities and that’s what the great leaders do.

2- "Live with a bias toward action”: - Ironically, this will teach you patience. When you take action each day, you learn the value of accumulating small improvements over time. You understand how daily habits compound. Be impatient with your actions. Be patient with your results."

3- "If a decision is reversible, the biggest risk is moving too slow.

If a decision is irreversible, the biggest risk is moving too fast."

:- Reversible and irreversible decisions tend to the tangibility of decision that means is there any other plan if plan A fails or in other words the Backfall or Backup that we usually set in order to achieve something. So if you have anything to backfall then keep the actions as speed as possible and if they have no backup then put your every step accurately with detailed vision and planning.

“Friends are better than money. Almost anything money can do, friends can do better. In so many ways a friend with a boat is better than owning a boat.”—KEVIN KELLY

"You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful."—MARIE CURIE.

1 Question to ponder

Imagine each day is only 12 hours long. What would you cut out?

Main reason of the Procrastination

2020-05-09T07:49:00.000+05:30

LET's Do it Now

Hello, dear readers, I hope you are well during these tough situations around the world. Where everywhere there is a bunch of holidays and Quarantine situation a large number of peoples will be trying to do some productive and some meaningful these days similarly I also got in that hustle urge too. Before actually being locked down we all thought that even if there are many holidays and problems despite all of that we will conquer these days by doing something productive or that is meaningful or at least worth doing something.

But I saw a large number of peoples including me caught in the condition of "work exhaustion" or Burnout which is commonly referred to as interruption in action due to excess of work. There are many problems which peoples may suffer during this condition. So many peoples who were working nicely for the 1st and 2nd week of lockdown or quarantine were tending to see a large dip in their productivity and that's what I want you to share about guys!.

So firstly let's elaborate on this Procrastination or so-called Burnout. The main problem for the peoples was to come out from their comfort zone as usually every time it remained the same but during these times the addition to these problems can be the surrounding environment of a hustler or struggler. Maybe there will be many peoples who were just enjoying at their home taking breaks and breaking beans. But mostly the peoples who tried to rise and wanted to find the way out or figure out something that is more important to them to be done (new years resolutions) were caught in action numbness.

Many times these happen to everyone whether it is elite performers or just newbie learners. Everyone has to offend the urge of quitting or the urge of mental and physical numbness.

It is not necessary that everyone found the same fit for the above situation it can be fictitious to someone too but the main point is to analyze it more deeply and finish it from the root so that it cannot cause any further destruction to any personals. Here I've reviewed and also added some of the major and important solutions by grand authors, life mentors, self-development bloggers, and other valuable suggestions that I can bring to you to end the problem of procrastination.

REASONS FOR PROCRASTINATION

Before going straight to the solutions let us check the main reasons for it to be in human nature. So I have gathered some of this information from this personal development site must-visit on it MOTIVATIONGRID

1. Fear of Failure: - Everyone of us has the capability of thinking and then taking actions and it is verily true but the problem is that when we start to pre-analyzing things we analyze there pros and cons as well as Succes and failure. At that time most of us are very concerned about the failures and damage that one has to bear in order to complete some task and that's where the doubt takes place.

Napolean Hill in his book "Think and Grow Rich" mentions very clearly the building up of these fear. The first indecision takes place which blocks the thought of optimism of task and opens the valve for the negativity that invites the doubt and these slow poison then turns into fear.

Fear of failure is the most basic and rational feeling of human but without backing up these fear with the solution can create many more problems for a further journey of productivity.

Cure: - The cure for this problem is related to your inner self. You have to convince yourself that there is no way to let go of failures and mistakes make it your stepping stone and daily recognize yourself by positive affirmations.

Hold the Positive image of failures and grow yourself actively without overthinking and demoralizing yourself.

2.Excessive Perfectionism: - If you are a self-confessed perfectionist, then you might find it difficult to take action unless you know you can do a job with which you will be totally satisfied

This becomes a problem when you have to try something new, or different from what you are used to. Because of an ingrained perfectionist mindset, you will either consciously or subconsciously worry about being able to reach an end-state that will be to your liking.

Cure: Aim to do your best, and be happy with the output. Accept that there is no such thing as a perfect job (especially if someone else will be critiquing your work – their idea of perfection will differ from yours).

3. Low energy levels: - There are many modes that humans can work. similarly, low energy levels can include undesirable health conditions or tired feelings and other health-related issues which are physically affecting the efficiency of the one to work.

This cause should be identified to be productive and healthier. The only cure for it is to follow a healthy diet and sufficient sleep and a healthy mental condition.

4.Lack of focus: - This is one of the main reasons for major problems related to procrastination and productivity. There is no limit that can tell us about how much we need to get full focus but until you work dedicatedly and without being disturbed and completing whole work satisfactorily is the only point to call the use of full focus. It has a long concept of human brain studies as well as neurobiological studies too.

If you want to go on further without being interrupted or disturbed you must need a high level of focus in work which is also termed as "deep work" in terms of learning areas. Our mind has the superb capability of imagination and creation of thoughts and ideas but same time the laser focus is a bit difficult practice but those who achieve it wins over the large population who doesn't even know what is it.

Cure: Set yourself some inspirational-yet-attainable goals. It’s important to set the bar high enough to encourage you to take action, but not so high that you are likely to fail (which isn’t good for your motivation and drive). Use POMODORO technique for Deep focus and productive work

A good goal encourages you to take action because you do not want to disappoint yourself by failing to achieve what you set out to do.

5.Burnout: - Mental burnout is the problem of excess of work when some peoples have overdone the work to be done or pass there normal capacity for the work. It happens sometimes in Motivation or panic zone like (exams, stress, emergency, disasters), the situations which are abnormal and different from normal working zone always face some resistance to change. This happens mostly when someone is motivated to do more or doing something that is far more than the limit of one's to extend.
As we all know that in these panic zones no one can sustain more, even if it can solve problems for some time. But it always causes the problem called Negative lag which always takes down your productivity and loses of interest in your most favorite task.

Cure: - As mentioned earlier use the POMODORO technique to work instead of being rushed or hassle in any situation and take a few breaks to maintain consistency in the work.

6. Disturbance: - In the daily life of any struggler or hustler there can be many disturbances occurs which led one to lose their work consistency and interest in areas of most probable work. These disturbances can be Physical or mental but can also be identified easily(mostly). By recognizing each disturbance and eliminating them is the best practice to stop them from letting you procrastinate.

To increase productivity and to achieve the goals of the major areas of your life you must require to conquer your this enemy. Each reason has their own solution but it must require your own effort to eliminate them from its root. Share and Comment on this valuable knowledge

Quotes

Greatness arrives for those who are never Satisfied with what is, no matter how nice it looks.

Investing in learning and getting your Skill to world class is the smartest investment You’ll ever make.

Few human beings wake up in the morning And ask themselves: “What can id do today to mess Up someone else’s day or undermine my credibility Or ruin our business?”

Do you have a “business model” For your life? Do you have a strategic plan For your dreams?

Greatness in business as well as in life comes by Being an inspirational human being.

Isn’t having an impact in the world – by helping Your clients and positively influencing others – what Business is ultimately about?

Everyone is a leader. But not everyone is the same.

Setting your goals is a bold play for your Best life. Setting your goals is an act of heroism Because you are reaching for the potential that Has been invested in you.

Give out what you most want to come back.

Do good and leave behind a virtue that the storm Of time can never destroy.

Inspriational Poem by Rudyard kipling

2020-05-05T09:28:00.001+05:30

Rudyard Kipling

POEM FOR STRUGGLERS

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too:

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same:.

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings,

And never breathe a word about your loss:

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except for the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much:

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

28 Questionnaires for Personal Inventory

Hello dear readers, today I am sharing with you the most important etiquette for being on the road of personal development and self-analysis. Every day as we grew up and we pass day by day we are continually in progress either in forward or backward.

This analysis questionnaire is the yearly analysis which discloses a decrease in faults and an increase in virtues. One goes ahead and standstill, or goes backward in life. One’s object should be, of course, to go ahead. Annual self-analysis will disclose whether advancement has been, made and if so, how much. It will also disclose any backward steps one may have made.

By asking yourself the following Questions and by checking your answers with the aid of someone who will not permit you to deceive yourself as to their accuracy. Take this inventory of self questionnaires and Rise up every day and show up the consistency to reach the highest level of the glories.

Nelson Mandela's Sayings

2020-04-22T17:44:00.002+05:30

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background, or his religion,. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

Any man or institution that tries to rob me of my dignity will lose.

I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter, I have made missteps along the way but I have discovered the secret that climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I came. and I dare not to linger for my long walk is not ended.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid. But he who conquers the fears.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

Why is it that in this courtroom I am facing a white magistrate confronted by a white prosecutor, escorted by white orderlies? Can anybody honestly and seriously suggest that in this type of atmosphere the scales of justice are evenly balanced? why is it that no African in the history of this country has ever had the honor of being tried by his own flesh and blood?

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.

10 Major Causes of failure in leadership

2020-01-14T15:26:00.001+05:30

The 10 Major causes of failure in Leadership

1. Inability to organize details: - Efficient leadership calls for the ability to organize and to master details. No genuine leader is ever too busy to do anything which may be required of him in his capacity as a leader. When a person whether he is a leader or follower, admits that he is “too busy” to change his plans to give attention to any emergency, he admits his inefficiency. The successful leader must be the master of all details connected with his position. That means he must acquire the habit of relegating details of capable lieutenants.

2. Unwillingness to render humble service: - Truly great leaders are willing when the occasion demands; to perform any sort of labor which they would ask another to perform. “The greatest among you shall be the servant of all” is a truth that all able leaders observe and respect.

3. Application of potential knowledge: - Most often every individual seeks the knowledge to grow or to thrive until they are aware of themselves and their goals and they also accumulate these large chunks of knowledge but still fails for the only reason ford

execution. The world does not pay men for that which they “know”. It pays them for what they do, or induce others to do.

4. Fear of competition from followers: - The leader who fears that one of his followers may take his position is practically sure to realize that fear sooner or later. The able leader trains understudies to whom he may delegate, at will, any of the details of his position. Only in this way may a leader multiply him and prepare him to be at many places and give attention to many things at one time. Its eternal truth that men receive more pays for their ability to get others to perform than they could possibly earn by their own efforts. An efficient leader may, through his knowledge of his job and the magnetism of his personality, greatly increase the efficiency of others, and induce them to render more service and better service than they could render without his aid.

5. Lack of imagination: - Without imagination, the leader is incapable of meeting emergencies can and of creating plans by which to guide his followers efficiently.

6. Selfishness: - The leader who claims the entire honor for the work of his followers. It is sure to be met by resentment. The really great leaders claim none of the honors. He is contented to see the honors when there are any go to his followers because he knows that most men will work harder for commendation and recognition than they will for money alone.

7. Intemperance: - Followers do not respect an intemperate leader. Moreover, intemperance in any of its various forms, destroy the endurance and the vitality of all who indulge in it

8. Disloyalty: - Perhaps this should have come at the head of the list. The leader who is not loyal to his trust and to his followers and associates cannot maintain his leadership. Disloyalty marks one as being less than the dust of the earth and brings down on one’s head the contempt he deserves, lack of loyalty is one of the major causes of failure in every walk of life. The loyalty is correlated with many terms like trust, worthiness, and break of such huge particle to one’s own life is disdaining the character as well as the destiny of the whole team or the followers of the leader.

9. Emphasis of the ‘Authority” of leadership: - The efficient leader leads by encouraging and not by trying to instill fear in the hearts of his followers. The leader who tries to impress his followers with his “authority” comes within the category of leadership through force. If a leader is a real leader, he will have no need to advertise that fact except by his conduct, sympathy, understanding, fairness, and demonstration that he knows his job.

10. Emphasis of TITLE: - the competent leader requires no “title” to give him the respect of his followers. The man who makes too much over his title generally has little else to emphasize. The doors to the office of the real leader are open to all who wish to enter and his working quarters are free from formality or ostentation.

PATIENCE.2

2020-01-14T03:09:00.001+05:30

THERE WILL NEVER BE GOOD TIME FOR ₮HOSE WHO WANT START SOMETHING GREAT. HONESTLY IF YOU DO WANT TO START JUST GO OUT AND START PERFORMING WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AND WHERE YOU ARE.

Silence is the potential power that holds the victory flag of your decisions until you keep it while working.

The biggest part of your life is retaining that best thought which lets you drag yourself even if your mind gives up.

When something great begins to build, it always be opposed by resistance forces before creating a legend through it.

Keep hitting hard until the environment changes itself for you.

Comfort zone is a very dangerous area for the dreamers because there's no oxygen for them, better stay away from there.

Learn it --Apply it-- Share it.

Attributes of Leader

2020-01-12T21:19:00.000+05:30

The major attributes of leadership

1. Unwavering courage: - An intelligent follower will only follow the courageous leader who has the blazing attitude of self confidence, patience, the power to speak, the power to sip the criticism and the one who has an immense amount of self-esteem and self-confidence.

2. Self-control: - The person, who cannot control himself/herself, can never control others. Self-control sets a mighty example for one's followers, which the more intelligent will emulate. It directly leads to patience and persistence where an extreme amount of hard work is needed with no possible outcome is seen and the work is done under dark shades and negative whispers of devils and it is what the Ground reality is called.

3. Keen sense of Justice: - without a sense of fairness and justice, no leader can command and retain the respect of his followers. The justice is the ever-living part of leadership when it fades from a leader, then such leader became the devastators of their own community/followers /nation/parties and teams. Justice equates the sense of moral being.

4. Definiteness of Decision: - The man, who wavers in his decisions, shows that he is not sure of himself. He cannot lead others successfully. Definiteness is the crystal clear vision and conclusion of the whole made plan, without definiteness it is anonymous to find the right way and may this lack of sense will lead the one to deep roots of confusion and end up being nowhere. It is the most common reason why any human being gives up or quits at his/her half journey of success because they do not know or they cannot anticipate even if the victory is too close.

5. Definiteness of plans: - the successful leader must plan his work and work his plan. A leader who moves by guesswork, without practical, definite plans is comparable to a ship without radar. Sooner or later he will land on the rocks.

6. The habit of doing more than paid for: - One of the penalties of leadership is the necessity of willingness upon the part of the leader to do more than he requires of his followers. Someone quoted it nice “the one who is working more for less paid will be soon paid more for doing less work”. It is absolutely true these attributes come out through passionate working having no sense of surroundings but the personals are vastly dedicated to their straight and one final goal.

7. A pleasing personality: - No slovenly careless person can become a successful leader. Leadership calls for respect. Followers will not respect a leader who does not grade high on all of the factors of a pleasing personality.

8. Sympathy and understanding: - The successful leader must be in sympathy with his followers. Moreover, he/she must understand them. From sympathy and empathy there comes the understanding of the needs and desires for the betterment of the followers for which the leader is made.

9. Responsibility: - It is the major role or part of the leader. The responsibility of a leader is greater than anyone who’s having a higher position in any facet of life. The successful leader must be willing to assume responsibility for the mistakes and the shortcomings of his followers. If he tries to shift this responsibility, he will not remain a leader. If one of his follower makes mistakes and shoes himself incompetent, the leader must be consider it is he/she who failed.

10. Cooperation: - The successful leader must understand and apply the principle of cooperative effort and be able to induce his followers to do the same. Leadership calls for POWER and power calls for cooperation. The cooperation is the most important medium of the communication of transferring the physical actions and developmental visions of the leader to its follower. While the receiver also plays the most important role in this point cause it has more than half of its containment.

Economic development of community

2019-12-26T22:12:00.002+05:30

The economic development of community

Definition

The process of creating wealth through the mobilization of human, financial, capital, physical and natural resources to generate marketable goods and services. The economic developer’s role is to influence the process for the benefit of the community through expanding job opportunities and the tax base.

The purpose of community development is to produce assets that may be used to improve the community, and the purpose of economic development is to mobilize these assets to benefit the community

GROWTH VS DEVELOPMENT

Growth by itself could be either an improvement or a detriment to a community.

For instance, a facility that paid very low wages might open in an area and the population and overall size of the economy might increase, but per capita, incomes might fall, and the quality of life might suffer. Such growth could bring more congestion, pollution, and other negative externalities without a commensurate increase in public resources or commitment to address them.

Of course, many communities would be happy to get any new facility regardless of the wage rate. A minimum wage job is better then no job, and there is a portion of the labor force in most communities that is a good match for minimum wage jobs (e.g., teenagers and adult low-skilled workers).

Since growth does not always equate with a better standard of living, a higher-order concept of economic development is needed that better reflects the actual well-being of residents.

Comprehensive economic development efforts, therefore, should be directed toward improving the standard of living through higher per capita income, better quality, and quantity of employment opportunities, and enhanced quality of life. Increases in per capita income (adjusted for inflation) are often used as indicators of welfare improvements. There are many other indicators of welfare and quality of life for a community residents such as poverty rates, health statistics, and income distribution, but per capita income or income per household is a common measurement of economic well-being.

Whether a higher per capita income equates to a good quality of life depends on the individual. Some individuals would rather have an income of $20,000 per year in a scenic rural area than $100,000 per year in a large city. Moreover, per capita income is not necessarily a measure of purchasing power. The cost of living varies from place to place, and a dollar goes further where prices are low.

Like community development, these descriptions portray economic development as both a process and an outcome – the process of mobilizing resources to create the outcome of more jobs, higher incomes, and an increased standard of living, however, it is measured.

From this discussion it should be apparent that development has a very different connotation than growth. Development implies structural change and improvements within a community, systems encompassing both economic change and the functioning of institutions and organizations.

Development is a deliberate action taken to elicit desired structural changes. Growth, on the other hand, focuses on the quantitative aspects of more jobs, facilities construction, and so on – within the context that more is better.

One should carefully distinguish, then, between indicators that measure growth versus development. By these definitions, a community can have growth without development and vice versa.

The important point to note, however, is that development not only facilitates growth but also influences the kind and amount of growth a community experiences. Development guides and direct growth outcomes.

The relationship between community and economic development

While conceptions and definitions of community and economic development vary, in practice, they are inextricably linked on many levels and are highly synergistic. To understand these synergies, consider another definition of community development is a planned effort to produce assets that increase the capacity of residents to improve their quality of life.

These assets may include several forms of community capital like physical, human, social, financial and environmental.

Vision of Community

2019-12-25T21:25:00.001+05:30

Community visioning

Many communities begin their visioning project by determining the vision or desired future. Others look at where the community currently finds itself before identifying the desired future. Both approaches have produced quality results in visioning projects around the country.

However, starting with the vision statement is preferred because it sets a positive tone for the process from the very start. This process convenes residents holding very diverse perspectives who come into the process with personal agendas.

By starting the process with the development of visual themes, participants recognize early on that despite the different views, there are many areas on which they all agree. Experiencing such a “win” early on in the process sets the tone for participants to work toward agreement throughout the process.

A vision is a “stretch”

In spring 1961, President John F. Kennedy, seeking increased funding for space exploration, described a most ambitious vision: to land a man on the Moon before the end of the decade and return him safely to Earth. At the time, The United States had only launched an astronaut into “sub-orbital” space, let alone going to the Moon. The vision, in the midst of the space race, was inspiring and motivating. The country vowed to move ahead on the vision and the ambitious timeline. Achieving the vision had its costs. In 1967, three Apollo 1 astronauts perished during a launch practice session because, some say, the timeline was too demanding. Staff within the space program learned from the tragedy, changed their approach, and continued working toward Kennedy’s goal.

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin walked on the Moon and returned safely to Earth with fellow astronaut Michael Collins. Kennedy’s clear vision with specific outcomes, the timing of the space race, the program’s ability to bounce back from a loss, the enthusiastic commitment of the masses, and a number of other variables produced a technological achievement for the ages. On a summer day in 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. addressed the masses at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. His “I Have A Dream” speech stirs as many souls today as it did on that memorable afternoon. Communities continue to struggle toward the future he described for all of the country’s children and people.

Picture the desired future

A community vision is an expression of possibility, an ideal future state that the community hopes to attain. The entire community must share such a vision so that it is truly owned in the inclusive sense. The vision provides the basis from which the community determines priorities and establishes targets for performance. It sets the stage for what is desired in the broadest sense, where the community wants to go as a whole. It serves as a foundation underlying goals, plans, and policies that can direct future action by the various sectors.

Only after a clear vision is established is it feasible to effectively begin the difficult work of outlining and developing a clear plan of action. A vision may be communicated through a statement, a series of descriptions, or even a graphic depiction of how the community would look in the target year. Communities have used a number of methods and media to create and express their visions, their desired futures. The following ingredients are crucial to generating an exciting community vision.

A. INCLUDE A HEFTY DOSE OF POSITIVE THINKING

In developing a community vision, it is important not to be constrained by either political or economic realities. For many people who think negatively, it is challenging to focus their energy on how things can, rather than on why things cannot happen. People who have been through successful visioning projects have challenged themselves to move beyond the constraints and to dream about what their ideal community would be like.

In developing the action plans, they focus their thinking on what must happen to ensure that the vision becomes a reality. It is always better to aim too high than too low.

Positive thinking will be reflected in the vision statement itself. The statement should be entirely in positive terms and in the present tense – as if it were a current statement of fact. The vision and its components should be stated in clear, easily understood language that anyone in the community could understand. The vision statement must be reached by consensus and encourage the commitment of diverse community members. It is the vision that will drive the entire planning process – every action plan will be designed such that, when implemented, it will help bring about the desired future.

B. STRONG VISUAL DESCRIPTIONS

In the visioning process itself, stakeholders can literally ask and answer such questions as:

• What words do you want your grandchildren to use to describe the health of the community?

• If the very best quality of life existed in the community, what would be happening?

• What common values exist across all perspectives and interests within the community, and how do they manifest themselves? • How are people interacting with one another in this desired future?

How are decisions being made? • What is unique to our community that no other the community has, and what does it look like 20 years from now.

C. A LONG TIME FRAME

The stakeholders select the time frame of the vision project. It is probably more useful to set a vision for a point at least 10 years into the future. Although communities would like to be able to achieve a desired future in the short term, the reality is that many changes will take a great deal of time to bring about. An effective vision typically addresses a period stretching 15 to 25 years into the future. A quality vision statement has these important ingredients:

• positive, present tense language

• qualities that provide the reader with a feeling for the region’s uniqueness

• inclusiveness of the region’s diverse population

• a depiction of the highest standards of excellence and achievement

• a focus on people and quality of life

• addresses a time period 15 to 20 years into the future

• the language that is easily understood by all

SELF DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE LIFE SPAN

2019-12-24T22:39:00.002+05:30

Self-Development across the Life Span

A. Developmental Changes in Self-Descriptions

In this sense, we have been reviewing evidence applicable to the development of the I . We have yet to consider, however, the development of the ME. A focus on the ME would lead us to ask:

How do people’s thoughts about themselves change with age?

For example, do 6-year olds think of themselves differently than 16-year olds? Research in this area suggests the following developmental trends.

1. Early childhood (ages 2-6)

Gender and age appear to be the first characteristics applied to the self. By age two, most children correctly identify themselves as a boy or a girl, although they may not be fully aware that gender is constant until several years later. At this age, children also tend to describe themselves in terms of concrete, observable characteristics (e.g., I have brown hair; I have an older brother) and typical behaviors and activities (e.g., I play games; I like soccer). In short, young children tend to think of themselves in terms of their observable, verifiable characteristics.

2. Middle childhood (ages 7-11)

Several changes in self-descriptions occur during middle childhood. First, self-descriptions become more general.

For example, instead of thinking of themselves in terms of specific activities (I like soccer; I like skating), children start applying broader labels to themselves (I like sports).

Children at this age also begin defining themselves (and others) in psychological terms, such as traits and abilities. Many of these qualities refer to important social characteristics (e.g., nice, likable, or friendly).

Children at this age also become more adept at taking the perspective of the generalized other (in the manner specified by Mead) and to see themselves from other people’s point of view. Social comparison processes also become more influential at this stage of life (Ruble, 1983).

Children compare themselves with others and draw inferences about themselves on the basis of what these comparisons show (“Jimmy has more trouble solving problems than I do, so I must be smart”).

3. Adolescence (ages 12-18)

Adolescence brings another shift in self-understanding. Adolescents define themselves in abstract qualities that emphasize their perceived emotions and psychological characteristics. For example, an adolescent might be inclined to say he is moody or insecure.

These assessments reflect a more sophisticated, analytical approach to self-definition, one that emphasizes private qualities are not necessarily known to others. Adolescents’ ability to think of themselves in abstract terms may help them achieve psychologically unity.

Harter and Monsour (1992) asked 7th, 9th, and 11th graders to describe themselves in various situations (e.g., in the classroom, with friends), and then indicate which traits created conflict.

That the percentage of traits that created conflict rose steeply from 7th to 9th grade, but declined from 9th to 11th grade. Harter and Monsour speculated that the rise in conflict experienced between 7th and 9th grade reflected young adolescents’ increased participation in multiple roles, and the decline in conflict experienced between 9th and 11th grade represented the older adolescents’ ability to come to terms with conflicting identities in different situations.

To illustrate, whereas a 9th grader might be puzzled by the fact that he’s carefree with friends but sullen with his parents, an 11th grader would reconcile this inconsistency by saying “I’m just a moody person” .

HISTORY OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

2019-12-23T21:39:00.002+05:30

History of Community Development Programmes in India

HISTORY OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT'

The concept of community development in India was initiated well before independence. Even during the struggle for independence, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, considerable attention was given to rural development and reconstruction.

Gandhi advocated for communal harmony, economic equality, social equality, recovery from alcohol and narcotics addiction, promotion of ‘Khadi’ (hand-woven cloth) and village industries, sanitation, health care, education and empowerment of women. The aim was to generate gainful employment in rural areas and to improve the quality of life that would ultimately lead to community development. After the independence of India in 1947, community development assumed higher priority.

In 1948, a pilot community development project was launched through the Etawah Project in Uttar Pradesh. Community Development (CD) was the first major programme launched in India in the 1950s, which covered all the states. The first Prime Minister of independent India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and the then Central Minister of CD, S.K. Dey was fully committed and devoted to it.

It was a multi-dimensional programme covering all the aspects of development, including human development. For the first time, infrastructure was created from the village to the state level and from the state to the central level.

The CD programme took the shape of a mini-revolution in rural India. Its most prominent feature was the establishment of “blocks”, which were made up of 100 villages. Each block had a multi-disciplinary team. It was a huge success on all accounts. Later in 1952, the Government of India launched 55 Community Development Projects, each covering about 300 villages or a population of 30,000.

This programme was multi-dimensional, but the emphasis was on agricultural production, as the areas selected for launching the project, were located in irrigation schemes or where there was plenty of rainfall.

In 1953, the National Extension Service Project was launched with similar objectives to cover larger areas, including dry regions. This was a three-year project. It demarcated blocks of 150-300 villages as manageable units for initiating community development programmes. The objectives and activities of the Project were modified periodically and continued as a permanent multi-function extension agency in each block. These community development blocks were treated as normal administrative units for planning and development with regular budgetary allocations.

In the year 1957, a three-tier-system of rural local government, called ‘Panchayati Raj’ (Rule by Local Councils) was established. These were Gram Panchayats (village level), Panchayat Samitis (block level) and Zilla Parishads (district level). The aim was to decentralize the process of decision making and encourage people’s participation.

As the programme could not fulfil the expectations of the rural poor, the Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP) was introduced in 1979, with a specific focus on the weaker sections of the society. By mid-eighties, the Government was able to meet the minimum needs of the poor, which included elementary education, health, water supply, roads, electrification, housing and nutrition.

SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

2019-12-22T18:57:00.002+05:30

Sustainable Community Development

This refers to a stage of development, during which the community is able to meet its present and future needs with its own resources. The primary needs of a community are poverty eradication and community organization. The satisfaction of community needs and aspiration is a primary objective of sustainable community development.

For sustainable community development to be achieved, a number of things need to be considered. These include:

• standardizing the consumption of resources for long-term sustainability;

• creating an environment for equitable access to resources for a better quality of life;

• minimizing the demographic dividend (A demographic dividend is the freeing up of resources for a country's economic development and the future prosperity of its populace as it switches from an agrarian to an industrial economy) in a community to explore resources in optimum and reasonable way.

Sustainable development emphasizes the maintenance of existing and future resources rather than continued growth.

Equity is a major concern for sustainable development. Equity here means equality. It refers to the impartial sharing and conservation of resources in the community irrespective of region, religion, caste, and creed.

For sustainable development to be achieved, the following issues are important:

• Reduced consumption of natural resources and reasonable consumption of consumer goods

• Qualitative change (refers to an increase in subjective personal wellbeing) for maintaining dynamic equilibrium with the environment

• Prevention of environmental risks

• Close monitoring of population growth

• Putting emphasis on human capital development

• Economic development alone cannot ensure sustainable development

• Scientific, systematic and judicious management of resources

• Maintaining desirable climatic condition towards sustainable development.

Thus, sustainable community development is a process that builds a balance between environmental concerns and developmental objectives in the most desirable and progressive manner. Enhancing the quality of life of the local people is just as important as environmental protection. Regional and national level programs for sustainable development have their own limitations and obstacles because they serve a wide population with multifaceted issues and problems.

However, programs at the community level are easier to manage. The active steps towards sustainable community development are:

• increased community self-reliance,

• localizing economic production

• commerce.

Attaining sustainable community development requires the active participation of social workers, constituent actors, groups and associations in the community.

Steps For Initiating Community Development

2019-12-21T12:19:00.001+05:30

Steps for Initiating Community Development

Acquire Knowledge and Execute

Each community has its own special characteristics which make it different from another community. The differences may take the form of availability and utilization of resources, culture, attitude, behavior and social development needs.

The following are the major steps for initiating community development.

Step 1: Goal setting

Goal setting is the first step in the initiation of community developmental activities. It comes before planning and implementation. During goal-setting, the CDW should consider the socio, economic, cultural and demographic aspects of the community. In addition, they should also look at the availability of resources like manpower, planners and implementers. The goal should be “simple” in nature.

Step 2: Understanding the people in the community

Before planning and implementing a community development program, it is important to learn about the people in the community. You can do this by finding out the following information:

• Their needs,

• Educational levels and requirements,

• Cultural and religious compositions,

• The problem and issues they face,

• Their history,

• Political setup and political leader

• Attitude of the society,

• Issues relating to health,

• Quality of life,

• Socio-economic situation,

• Employment opportunities,

• Availability of co-operative sectors,

• Self-help groups.

Step 3: Identify the opportunities problems and issues on community development.

The information you gather about the community will also help you identify the opportunities, problems, and issues related to community development. It is important to list them out before you plan and implement developmentally activities.

Step 4: Prioritize issues and problems

Once you prepare a list of issues and problems in the community, the next step is to identify the ones that need to be tackled first. This should be done in consultation with the community. The issues that demand urgent attention should be addressed first. Thus, prioritizing the needs and problems of the community according to their necessity and urgency is an important step in community development.

Step 5: Resource mapping

Once you have identified and prioritized the needs and issues, the next step is resource mapping. What is resource mapping? It is the identification of all the available resources, such as manpower, material, and finance, required for particular development plans. It is very important to analyze the quality and quantity of each resource and how it can be used to address community development needs.

Step 6: Plan and prepare the activity

Once the goals have been set, the needs identified and resources mapped, the CDWs should plan and prepare activities for the achievement of the goals. They can do this with the help of social workers, decision-makers, policymakers, implementers, and organizers, who are supposed to play an active role in the planning and preparation of community development activities.

Step 7: Prepare the Design for implementation

This process will help the planners and implementers to understand the theory and practicability in implementing the activities/programs. Special focus is to be given to the strategies of implementation while preparing the design. Environment creation, ensuring resource support and people support will become the part and parcel of the design.

Step 8: Prepare Time and cost estimates

Time and cost estimates are two important aspects that you should consider when planning and implementing community development activities. A reasonable timeframe should be given for each sub-activity and main activity. The cost estimate should be prepared carefully and you can seek help from people who have the expertise and experience. By utilizing community support and other resources, the cost of implementation can be reduced to the maximum.

Step 9: Implementation of community development activities and programs

After planning, preparing activities, designing and preparing your work plan and budget, the next step is implementation. The aim of this step is to tackle the priority problems and issues that you had identified. This requires effective coordination and preparation of the important activities in implementation. The process of implementation should be systematic, scientific and time-bound.

Step 10: Documentation of the activity

Documentation simply means creating a record of all the processes involved in the program, from the beginning to the end. You should remember to document the successes and challenges of the program as clearly as possible. This will be circulated to community people and experts for collecting feedback and opinion. It will help you get the support of the people and to develop a positive attitude among community members.

Step 11: Monitoring

Monitoring is another important step in community development. During monitoring, you continuously track the progress of the activities you are implementing in order to ensure that they are going as planned. Monitoring enables you to analyze the challenges and successes of the activities you are implementing, so that you can take corrective measures in good time. Monitoring involves the following tasks:

• Recording what is happening as well as what is not happening

• Checking or observing the activities

• Collecting facts and figures on activities and results

• Assessing whether an implementation is going in the right direction or is achieving the desired results.

Step 12: Evaluation

Evaluation allows you to make a judgment about a project’s achievements. It measures how well the program’s activities have met the aims, goals, and objectives of the project. Proper evaluation demands: • Accuracy and attention

• An external – outside agency, the external evaluation is nothing but the evaluation carried out by someone who is not directly involved in the process implementation

• Internal– implementing agency, the evaluation carried out by some from the actual project team.

Step 13: Recycle the planning and implementation processes

The feedback you receive from monitoring and evaluation is very important. During this step, you use data from monitoring to address those activities that need adjustment in order to achieve the intended outcomes. Similarly, you use data from evaluation to help you improve the design, planning, and implementation of subsequent programs.

Components of community development

Elements of community development

1. Children development

2. Adolescent development

3. Youth development

4. Women development

5. Welfare of senior citizen

6. Health and family welfare development

7. Family life education

8. Agricultural and allied activities.

9. Co-operative service society

10. Education

11. Communication

Children development programme

Children are the future wealth of any nation and therefore it pays to invest in their development. The child development programme may be viewed as a support service for families with children from birth to age four. It has also been found that the ability of parents to support and foster the healthy and lifelong development of their children is enhanced by the provision of early intervention resources.

Children’s should be given a proper and valuable foundation of the knowledge with respect to practical aspects to apply the knowledge right from there upbringing it is necessary to raise our children with the desire and motive to grow the community and its development.

For the betterment of their and community’s future their upbringing should be done in correct way in order to get the more developed and highly succeeded personalities in the near future. Their surroundings, schools, hospitals, and other services should be checked to be in supportive nature as it is an ideal condition most often it does not seem every time but our duty is to give them as much as possible to us.

Adolescent development programme

Adolescence is an important period of growth and human development, in terms of physical, mental and emotional maturity. It is a period when adolescents are expected to acquire adequate capacity, capability and skills for future life. If adolescents are not well taken care of, they can develop negative attitudes and behaviour that can affect the development of a community. It is, therefore, the responsibility of the community and CDWs to carry out programmes that promote the all-round development of adolescents.

Youth development programme

Youth are a priceless gift to any society. Being a productive age group, they can contribute a lot in the process of community development. Investing in youth development in a holistic and comprehensive manner will pave the way for sustainable community development. Women development programme Women are the silent but effective contributors of community development. Their contributions in domestic and non-domestic fields are of great importance in community development. It is the responsibility of a community to nourish, care and promote the total development of women, including their reproductive health.

The welfare of senior citizens

Ageing is a natural phenomenon and a part of our life cycle. The expertise and experience of senior citizens should be utilized for community development initiatives. Protection and social security of the aged population should be the responsibility of the community. Reorganization, acceptance, caring and rearing are part and parcel of the community development.

Health and family welfare programme

The health and family welfare programme is an important activity in the community development programme. It includes the physical, mental and social well- being of individuals. Reproductive and child health activities are also important components of a community development programme.

Family life education

Family life education is another important area which needs much attention in the present context of our social system. The traditional Indian family system is very strong and has laid the foundation for our cultural and family life. Family life education teaches individuals, their duties and responsibilities in the family. It also covers the role of the family in community development and societal empowerment.

Agricultural and allied activities

Agricultural and allied activities provide healthy food for the community. As part of community development activities, a community should produce most of its essential food items. It should address the nutritional deficiency by enhancing agricultural production in the community. The community should also promote the use of organic and eco- friendly agricultural initiatives in order to achieve sustainable agricultural production. In addition, there should be the development of agro-based industries and initiatives to protect the fertility of the land, such as the use of organic manure. The community should also maintain the essential vegetables and meats log.

Co-operative Service Society

The health co-operative service societies are the backbone of community development. The co-operative sector touches all fields of community development. The community development worker can acquire the capacity and capability to run and manage co-operative service societies in different fields. This would help community development through group intervention. Another aim of the co-operative sector is resource mobilization and the proper utilization of resources for community development.

Education

Education is an important tool for community development.

There are three main types of education:

Formal, non-formal and informal.

Formal education is a classroom-based activity provided by trained teachers and guided by a structured curriculum leading to certification.

Non-formal education is a loosely organized learning activity may or may not be guided by a formal curriculum. This type of education may be led by a qualified teacher or by a leader with more experience.

Whereas informal education is the learning happens outside of a formal learning environment.

Here the teacher is simply someone with more experience such as a parent, grandparent or a friend as well as the community and the environment he/she lives in.

Each of these types of education has its own importance in community development. Non-formal education can address the issues of adult illiteracy as well as vocational and other skill development needed to support community development.

Formal education produces thinkers, planners, managers, policymakers and other professionals needed for community development. Indeed, as we mentioned earlier, Human Resource

Development (HRD) is an essential component of community development.

Education plays a pivotal role in human resource development. Education also helps to develop skilled manpower who can either generate employment or be deployed in various sectors of the community. For example, the skilled and qualified labourers can be utilised for the production of manpower for community development. The CDW should collect data from the community on unemployment, underemployment and employment. The concept of a labour bank and its effective use is very helpful in utilising manpower for community development.

Communication

Effective communication is another important aspect of community development. Communication in this context is not merely verbal communication but includes various other forms that bring people together, physically and ideologically. For example, the construction of roads, transportation and communication facilities help to link members of the community with each other and with the globalised world.

Communication and infrastructural development help the process of community development in two ways: -

1. By creating awareness on global opportunities

2. Increasing the scope for marketing, HR and other products.

Hence to conclude this article there are mainly above shown types of communication development areas, even more, elements can be added from different communities or castes. What we have to choose is to mainly develop at least one of the areas perfectly.

ACTION PLAN
