Do we truly think that we have lived for ourselves? Perhaps we have lived for money, love, fame, family and pride etc.? Therefore, we don’t seem to be satisfied even though we are full of those things. It is because that we don’t know ourselves. Eric Fromm talked about human nature as two modes of being: “To Have” and “To Be”. If we are “Having” the nature of possessions, we are not satisfied, and feel empty and futile. Then, how can we be “Being” the nature of our inner-selves? Sometimes, we happened to be aware of this “Being” nature and try to change ourselves, but fail. But, because of our daily routines, it’s easily forgotten. And more it is hard to escape from our unwanted minds controlling us. From now on, let us reflect on ourselves and look at our minds leading up to today! Don’t we achieve our goals after knowing ourselves? And let us find the “Being” nature of our original selves after escaping from the minds restraining and controlling us. In this lecture, the definition and principle of the mind are explained in simple and clear ways. You can make sure and practice the methodology of finding the true original mind of inner-self by escaping from the false mind of possession. Self-reflection is the first step to meditate. You can know yourselves most objectively through meditation and you will realize that all the thoughts and actions are due to your minds which are nonexistent and false. If you throw away the false mind, you will find the true mind. Meditation is now world-wide sensation. There are many research reports that show people can be leaders if you have a habit of self-reflection through meditation. Now meditation at school and the workplace are popular. Happiness is having no worries. You can really relax yourself if there is no bundle of thoughts and you can be successful when you know yourself truly. Worries come from the memorized thoughts of the false mind. Your inner potential of positive power are revealed, your peaceful and happiest mind will be in your mind, and you can live the life you wanted through meditation. This method of meditation is very practical and everybody can follow the methodology. As an engineer, I will guide you step by step to practice this meditation. I am sure that this lecture becomes a turning point in your life.

Hi.

Last class,

we drew the graph of our life.

I'm sure you all thought about who has influenced your life in the past and

who will lead you in the future.

You might have think you have led your life, but it is not so.

You think you have lived with your own will,

but you have lived by imitating

unconsciously so many people you have seen so far.

In childhood, we learn by imitation as shown by

Bandura's theory of social learning. And children act as they learn.

Now, and in the future, we adults directly lead our life by our own will.

But we might lead our life based on learning by imitation as well.

This is called self-directed learning for adults.

We directly learn professional knowledge.

We directly act and we lead our life, so

we can say we are self-leading.

But there are few adults who have self-leadership proposed by Manz.

Self-leadership is to carry out work with

mental stability and satisfaction to achieve one's goals.

Self-leadership is an active concept in

"planning a goal" and "carrying it out" in various environments.

Self-leadership strategy of adult learners included

Behavior strategies for effective action and

Cognitive strategy for effective thinking and

attitude and Internal Compensation strategies.

Self is in the center.

Components of self-leadership are self-observation skills,

goal-setting skills, self-persuasion skills,

self-reward skills, and the self-vision,

belief management, imaginary experiences,

conversation with himself, or herself,

ability to control one's environment, rehearsal ability.

Here conversation with oneself means continuous internal

conversation with self-persuasion, encouragement,

punishment, criticism, and comfort when appropriate.

A strong positive attitude, and belief in one's self

should be the foundation of a conversation with oneself.

Otherwise, it could deteriorate into self-punishment and self-rebuke.

Therefore, you should observe your self-conservation and

repeatedly try to change the obstacles constructive manner.

The positive belief that you can carry out a task,

improves the probability of doing that task successfully.

You can create a clear, positive image in your mind with imaginary experience.

For example, imagine yourself overcoming a difficult challenge successfully.

Let's examine successful cases of self-leadership.

Genghis Khan.

Successfully used his men's self-leadership qualities

to make the Mongol Empire into a great one.

He took people who were managing horses in the field and

made them into generals.

By utilizing his men's self leadership, Genghis Khan built the great

empire without leaving Mongol territory.

He delegated all power to his man and fostered

the belief in his men in order to lead all the situations on the field.

Genghis Khan is an example of implementing

self-leadership in an organization.

He empowered his men to strengthen his organization.

His men strengthened the organization by themselves. He might have gained his wisdom from bitter experiences from his childhood.

Steve Jobs was able to lead the tech industry

because he utilized self-leadership.

He made new product according to his own principles

and ideas regardless of convention. As you know

his iPod revolutionized music distribution and

the iPhone completely changed the mobile phone market.

Steve Jobs communicated with himself very well.

Every morning, he looked in the mirror and

asked himself, "if today were the last day of my life,

would I want to do what I am about to do today?

We can imagine he had a sincere and frank conversation with himself.

There are various ways to build self-leadership.

For example reading books,

travel, writing memos, watching movies etcetera.

Among them the most effective way to build up self leadership is self reflection.

Through self-reflection, you can objectively be aware of your life and

can foster self leadership after discovering

what areas of your life can be improved. Our mind can be great

through self-reflection and subtraction of mind Overcoming oneself is the greatest achievement.

As mentioned in the previous lecture,

the self is both observer and actor. Thus,

objective self observation is a difficult.

Also for effective relationship you need to

have a conversation with your 'objective self'.

Conversation not by head but by heart can change behavior.

Thus far, our dissatisfied selves

have led ourselves, so the results are obvious.

The dissatisfaction has continued and in this way our life is incomplete.

Therefore, objective reflection of oneself is the first step for self leadership.

These fundamental problems of self

are dealt with in the book The Self Illusion,

written by Bruce Hood 2012.

The author, an experimental psychologist,

said the self you think of is an illusion and

there is no free will to control oneself.

Now, let us think about this.

The illusionary self overshadows the real self.

If the illusionary self prevents us from living our real life,

we should subtract the illusionary self through self-reflection.

Then, we can live with our real self and

properly implement the strategies of self-leadership.

Next class let us talk about the incomplete life.
