When you look at the Hindu philosophy the crux will be focusing on,”Know your self”. Even in modern management concepts like JoHari window, the stress is on knowing ourselves in a clear manner.
Our body and cells are undergoing change every day with or without our notice. Change is a universal phenomenon and we have to adapt ourselves to it in order to survive in this world.
Here comes handy the SWOT analysis technique where in we analyze our strengths, weaknesses, opportunity and threat. Strengths are the positive points, which help us to stand unique from others. Weakness is the negative points that make us to fall. Opportunity is the area where we have more scope to learn and implement, so that our strength points will increase. Threats are the areas from where we may face opposition and by proper planning, adjustment and preparation we can convert them as Opportunities.
We have to list it and keep it with us so that on a daily basis we can go through it in the morning before starting our routine job and night before retiring to bed.
By continuous monitoring and correcting ourselves on a daily basis we can evaluate ourselves. Based on yearly resolution our self-improvement goal will be changing every year. Accordingly our SWOT list will also change.
While doing SWOT analysis we can also take our wife,friends,colleagues and well-wisher views. So that by consolidating our list with out network list we can arrive at a combined list which will be more relevant.

How to Fill Out a Self-Evaluation For a Performance Review
Being given the job of filing out a self-evaluating performance review is an honor and a challenge. Your honesty will certainly be tested. It is a given that the total accuracy of your personal information is necessary.
Should you have made any personal changes that you have not reported to the company, this would be the time to make sure that you are totally accurate with what you are presenting. To most bosses and company owners honesty is a main basic necessity. Be assured that a falsehood will not survive the perusal that your paper will receive.
The statistical areas of the form are pretty simple to find and accurately fill out. Should you have recently made some sort of change, a move, taken a new telephone number, began using a new part of your given name and so on it is very important that you show the certification of the changes that you have made.
This is really a very important part of your credibility. Any time there is an incident when you could have been more of a group worker and did not do so your lack of co-operation will be evident if you tell the truth. You would need to change your ways of working if you wish to succeed with this company.
Events need to be reported exactly as they occurred. Make sure that the blame of any negative events are evenly placed so that one person would not be held totally responsible.
Should you notice failings in your own personality or work ethic you need to think of how you could change your ways to become a better employee. This is your chance to aim for improvement.
Working at any job is certainly a huge responsibility. The pieces and equipment that you are expected to work with are rarely as good as they should be.

The way you deal with any shift, and problem, any emergency are all very important to maintain and grow your work credibility and quality.
Giving your superiors some ideas as to how the resulting product could be changed would be an excellent idea. Suggestions should be short, reasonable in price and comparatively easy to accomplish and to teach to all of the workers.
Your pride in your fellow workers as well as in yourself should show in your report.
Confidence Seen Through Self Evaluation and Action
To reveal my Total Self-Confidence, I bought a journal. That was the very first step I made.
I listed out the things in my life that I want to change, things that is not worth to put up with and my goals I want to achieve in life. By writing all these down, it made me see how invalid, unreasoned, ridiculous and silly my fears, beliefs and attitudes were.
I created these things and it existed within me. All those were holding me back!
In order for you to discover your true self, do this quick exercise. It requires you to write down answers about yourself. Be honest:
Exercise
What are you unhappy about in your life? Is there anything you can do to change it?
What are 2 realities about yourself you find it difficult to accept completely?
Anger or frustration: when do you feel it the most? Why do you feel this way?
Name 5 fears that you have. What is your biggest fear and why? What would happen if that fear comes true?
Complete the following beginnings
– ‘I like myself most when I…’
– ‘I dislike myself most when I…’
Many attend seminar or read books and study the ways to live a better life. Then, they do nothing.
Although many take part in the self evaluation, the results are not satisfactory. The reason is because there is no action taken. For many of us, it is easier to ignore what we learnt than putting it into practice.
Action is the basis to triumph. Thinking about it or feeling great about the idea will not give you the results. Only ACTION can do that.
For example, a movie director directs movie. If there are no actors then how can a movie be produce? A movie can only be film when the word ‘ACTION’ is directed to the actors by the director. So, this is also similar to taking actions in your life.
To summarize: TAKE ACTION to be a better you.
