We need to become aware of the importance of our self-concept, because
it influences us on how we think, perceive, feel and act in our everyday life. A
person with self-concept helps us understand more about his personality and
the people around him. Having a self-concept can easily adjust to other people
and be able to understand oneself and others in the manner of percieving
good side even in a difficult situation.

Three parts of self-concept (Carl Rogers)

• Self-esteem- influences by inside and outside factors, on how much

you value yourself.

• Self-image- The idea one has the ability, appearance and personality
that sees in our self.

your own by comparing yourself towards other in a correct manner.
