1. relate lessons from experiences in school and community that may help
others to academic success;

Introduction
You might have heard of the wise saying that “experience is the best teacher”. Each
year in your life ushers in a lot of experiences for you to reflect on. You may not like everything
that happens to you in school or in the community, especially those that bring you discomfort,
difficulty or detriment, but you have to bear with these occurrences with a positive disposition.
You have to remember that you cannot prevent circumstances from happening,
especially those that might challenge your patience, determination and drive as a young
learner. It’s good to remember that experiences, whether in school or in the community, will
open opportunities for you to gain lessons which you can utilize to help and inspire yourself
and others. Your negative or positive personal experiences coupled with your coping skills can
serve as your stepping stones to academic success.
As you gain more experiences, you will get to appreciate that those are just parts of
life to make you a flourishing, and well-adjusted member of the community.

Keep in Mind
A wise learner is someone who is able to acknowledge and accept that in life, positive
and negative experiences have to occur. He or she is someone who is able to make use of
these experiences to learn from the past, to improve, and to move forward.
Here are the characteristics of a wise learner:
7
Seeks knowledge and skill outside the box. A wise learner is keen on discovering new
experience, culture and perception because he or she knows that development can be
enriched by learning from others. He or she is adaptable and learns even in the midst of
adversity and challenges.
Utilizes what he or she learns. Learning without application is a plant without growth.
A wise learner patiently digests what has been fed to him or her because he or she knows that
learning only starts to have meaning when he/she makes use of it effectively in everyday life
situations.
Contemplates on global events and concerns, and ponders how he or she can be part
of the solution. A wise learner recognizes that issues such as climate change, unrest and
inequality are important matters that everyone must be involved with.
Communicates with the world outside his or her window. A wise learner acknowledges
that he or she can learn much from the interaction with others. He or she knows that learning
should not be limited by distance and thus, reaches out beyond his or her comfort zone.
Engages with others with the use of appropriate responses. A wise learner knows that
exhibiting empathy, extending compassion and emulating maturity are marks of effective
learning. Because learning is not merely comprised of numbers, facts and historical dates but
it also consists of language and complexities beyond the pages of a book or the corners of a
classroom.
Sees technology and modern advances and uses them as an advantage to further his
or her learning. A wise learner wields the power of technology to share his or her ideas, work
together with others and discover what is unknown to him or her before.
With all these helpful steps presented, challenging experiences in school and in the
community will not stop you from achieving academic success. You are on your way to
becoming a wise learner.

whether to finish a project and meet the deadline or playing online games to win over
co-gamers. Deciding is not always a walk in the park. Here are a few known strategies
that will help you in decision-making.
Aside from the Three Cs, additional strategies in decision-making can also be
used. Here are some alternative strategies that can help you in your decision-making
process.
Considering the pros and cons. By carefully weighing the advantages and
disadvantages, the favorable and unfavorable and the good and the bad points can
help one in coming up with a solid and balanced decision.
Types of Decision-Making
Majority Rule – This is when a decision is the one that has the most number of
support. Some examples include ballot voting and a show of hands.
We always hear the phrase, “Knowledge is power.” A learner like you can make
good decisions only when you are informed. Here are a few steps that might help in
making better choices.
7
Identify what should be decided. This is the first step in most decision-making
situations. What do I do today? What do I wear for my class? Identification aids in
narrowing down and solving the problem at hand.
No or Yes. At times, problems and dilemmas are answerable by a simple yes or no.
But often, decisions must be considered well and it can take days and nights for a
sound decision to be made.
Find A Friendly Advice. Teenagers are often at risk of making poor decisions because
they do not seek advice from people, especially those who can help them. Don’t be
afraid to reach out and ask for help from others such as your parents, teachers,
counselors and friends.
Options are great weapons in making sound decisions. Write down the pros and cons
and give it a thought. It might help you in times of confusion and bewilderment.
Reflect. Most people reflect after making a decision but reflecting on a decision before
it can be made is a great idea. It’s not a bad thing to ask, sit down for a second and
ask yourself: “Is this the right thing to do?”
Make a deadline. Ideally, enough time should be given to make a wise decision but
there are instances when a decision must be made immediately such as when one
decides whether to accept a job or refuse it, or when one decides when to start that
school project that is due soon.
Envision a situation afterwards. Close your eyes and imagine a scene after making a
particular decision. For example, when you buy an item that you want but is way out
of your budget. Imagine yourself paying off that object. Do you see an empty wallet?
Do you think maybe it would be better if you save up for it first?
Don’t be in a rush. Sometimes when we rush ourselves, we make rash decisions instead.
Try to let a day pass before making a big decision. Think about it overnight and make a
choice later.
You Can Do It
Suggested Time Allotment: 5 minutes
Can Do or Needs Improvement
It is you who knows yourself best. Below are values needed for good decision-

the processing questions after. Do this on a sheet of paper.

good
Processing Questions:
----------
Imagine that you are a group of doctors stationed in an inaccessible area with
limited materials to be used in treating patients. You were given a mission to
operate on a patient needing a heart transplant. Unfortunately, there is only
one donor for the operation but there are six patients waiting for the
operation.

----------
The household members will analyze the alternative solutions to come up with a decision.
Each member should listen to each sharing. Then, you will have to evaluate the consequences
of the alternative solution by determining its pros and cons. Determine how it may affect you
and the team.
Each member should give his/her views and options about the situation. Then discuss until
the group comes up with a decision.
Discussion Guide:
1. What are your options? List them down.
2. What are your alternative solutions? Does everybody agree with the alternative
solutions?
3. What are the consequences of your alternative solutions?
4. Write your decision as a group on a sheet of paper.
Processing Questions:
Write your answers on a sheet of paper to the questions below.
1. Did you have difficulty in coming up with a decision?
2. Did you have alternative options? What are these?
3. Did your household members have different options? How did you deal with it?
4. Does it help to analyze your alternatives and the consequences of your
decisions?
Keep in Mind
Did you have a moment of evaluating your decisions in the past? If so, how did
you do it? Here are some pointers for you to make sense out of your past
decisions:
1. Did you get the rightful results? Did it really solve your problem?
If you answered “yes” to these questions, that’s good. If “no”, why did you say so? Did
your solution create more problems or complications? If that’s the case, then, you may
take it as a learning experience. Maybe in your next decisions, you can check if your
option will really answer the problem or it will create more. If it does, then, it certainly
is not the right solution. You could consider other options next time and eliminate the
choice that brought you more problems.
7
be favorable for everyone. However, there are times that you need to calculate the risk
of your choice. Hence, it has to be a well-calculated one. You are responsible for any
decisions that you make. Good or bad, you have to own it. Be wiser with it.
3. Did it contribute to your personal growth in any areas of life (social relationship,
academic performance, career pathing, health, spiritual, etc.)
With your past decisions, can you identify any significant changes in your life in any
aspect of it? For instance, when you decided to continue your studies during this
pandemic, did it make a step nearer to your dream of finishing basic education? When
you decided to stay at home instead of going out with your friends, did it make any
difference to your safety? Try to appreciate whatever gains or personal development
you have for any choice that you have. It is a good point of reference for your
succeeding decision-making in life.
In your past decisions, did it promote the welfare of everyone around you or there are
regrets attached to it? There might be times when you are clouded by your personal
biases or perceptions. However, the common good would always be a good
consideration when weighing your options. At times, there is a need to analyze what
is good for you and for everyone. Always try to check what would be good and gain for
everyone. Your maturity and experiences aid you to always prioritize the common
good.
At the end of day, your decisions reflect the kind of person you are. However, it does
not define your future self. Our choice reveals what we think is right at that moment
though it may be unpopular for others. There is always a point of realization how our
decisions change the way we see and experience life. Don’t be discouraged if you
committed wrong decisions before. Who else did not? You could always consult the
experienced people and ask for guidance if you have to.
Nobody has the monopoly of knowledge in the world. Even experts consult with
their colleagues or other professionals in order to see the other perspectives on certain
things. There are companies who get the most brilliant advisers or consultants just to
ensure that their decisions most especially on sensitive matters are well-thought off. The
act of seeking the opinion of your respected and trusted people is no different at all. It is
part of being responsible and sound decision maker.
So, what are the other things that you can gain from seeking others’ opinion?
1. More confidence in facing problems because you know that people support you and
they have your back;
2. You are able to think properly for possible solutions to any challenges believing that
you have the capacity to do it well;
3. In seeking and learning from people’s opinions, it will help you realize that more heads
are better than one, likewise, being alone in an island is truly difficult but if you have
others, you have better chances to survive and thrive in life. Any difficult situation that
is upon us becomes less painful and uncomplicated if we have others who will walk
with us through it. We are not alone in our struggles. We only need to reach out and
ask for help.
8
4. When you share your thoughts, you lessen the burden that you carry. Seeking others
might help unload the stress and anxiety that you might be feeling;
5. Strengthen harmonious relationship with your significant others and lead you to
become people-oriented;
6. When you choose to seek help from others, you start to create a pattern where you
can also lend a hand when the opportunity comes for others will ask your help and
guidance.
7. You will develop to become a positive, well-integrated person.
You Can Do It

Processing Questions:
1. What did you find out after taking the RIASEC Test?
2. Did you discover any interests that you had not recognized before? What are they?
3. How did your interests line up with your career option?
Keep in Mind
1. In our culture, most people are one of six personality types: Realistic,
Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Some refer to these
as Holland Codes or RIASEC.
2. People who have the same personality type, when working together, will create a
work environment that fits their type. For example, when Artistic people are
together on a job, they create a work environment that rewards creative thinking
and behavior – an Artistic environment.
3. There are six basic types of work environments: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic,
Social, Enterprising, Conventional. "Work" includes doing things to achieve a
purpose, like paid and unpaid jobs, volunteering, sports, or hobbies.
4. People search for environments where they can use their skills and abilities, and
express their values and attitudes. For example, Investigative types search for
Investigative environments; Artistic types look for Artistic environments, and so
on.
5. People who choose to work in an environment similar to their personality type are
more likely to be successful and satisfied. For example, Artistic people are more
likely to be successful and satisfied if they choose a job that has an Artistic
environment, like choosing to be a dance teacher in a dancing school – an
environment “dominated” by Artistic type of people where creative abilities and
expression are highly valued.
With the aid of the RIASEC Test, you will be able to determine your personality type,
and explore career types based on your interests.
