improve the work and the quality of work. in the reflective writing I will explain the factors
which helped me to become a better successful student.
Task one
Habits of successful people to get transformation in life:-
1. Set goal
I personally believe that it is very important to have the set goals and the priorities of goals To
transform the life into a better future. When I started learning the importance To transform the
life into a better future I understand that is very important to make the desired goals which we
want to achieve in our life. It also includes the direction which we choose and I personally
believe that setting goals helped me in transforming a lot of development in myself in those
things where I used to like in my personal and professional growth. Goals and objectives are one
of the priorities, I used to be weak in communications so I decided to take initiate by making
myself busy in communicating with others and indulging myself in a lot of exercises to develop
my communication skills which was my priority to transform in my personality. I used to believe
that it is very important to have a good communication skills to develop the personality and my
first priority is to increase my self-confidence and my communication skills so that I can
represent myself in a public place and can utilize their skills of better communication at my
college and office (Boateng, Plopper, B.L. and Keith, 2016).
2. Take responsibilities for action
I personally believe that it is very important to show the actions for everything we choose to
develop in our personality and for the success we want to achieve in our personal and
professional life. it is very important to understand the criticality of growth and how to manage
the personal and professional growth for a better future. I wanted to increase my communication
skill as a priority and for that I did a lot of actions cause it is my responsibilities to make it worth.
I took online classes, seminars and indulge myself in a lot of activities where I used to meet a lot
of new people to develop my communication skills with that I also took tuitions and personal
development plans to make my goals achieved and improved my communication skills so that I
3

can perform and have a good communication in my school as a student. communications help in
representing ourself and it is very important in the success of his student to have a good
communication skill which I have focused and took as responsibilities, and I did a lot of actions
to make it worth it and developed my communication skills to get a better success at college and
personal level (Mwaniki,, 2016).
3. Self-development obsession
Self-development opposition is very important for the success in personal and professional life, I
started working on my self-development and realized that it is very important to develop
personally to increase the skills and process of working. After I so the changes in the results
which I get, Made me the self-development obsession because I realized that when you see the
results after focusing on development of personal it becomes self-obsession and it is very
important to understand the obsession in personal development in positive Way can make it an
obsession because when we check the results it make us understand the criticality of
development for the future success. Self-development is very essential and I believe when I
started focusing on myself for the success and for a better future I realized that it helped me in
understanding the importance of success as a student and it also make me a developed person as
a personality development increased and I represent myself better after realizing the self-
development and it became an obsession for me. after becoming an obsession, I keep on
improving my personality with different personal development skills to make it a more
successful future for myself (Mayer, 2018).
Task 2
Additional Habit
• Honest: - To become a successful student I realized that it is very important to have the
honesty and integrity in myself so that I can represent myself on a higher scale and people can
understand and trust me for my work which is very important as being a student and find success
in the life (Porter and Dottin, 2020). it is very important to realize the importance of honesty
because I believed that honest person can be trusted and it helped as a student because the tutor
another management people trust you when you are honest with your work and they feel that it
is. Safe to give you the important work because they understand that you are an honest person
and it helped me in my personal development and professional growth for a better success in the
4

future. Honesty means that you practice the reality principle in all of the work you do, and it
gives confidence to other as well as yourself that you are completely objective with yourself and
with the world around you. Honesty shows that I have a clear value for whatever I am focused as
a student and it helped me in my presentations and my other academic skill (Buljat, Babić and
Čapko,).
• Health conscious: - It is one of the most important part of success because it is very
important to have a good health and to find a better success it's very important to utilize your
health in the work and for that I need to be health conscious so I can perform better for myself
and as well As for my personal development for a future bright. the criticality of health is very
important to understand because it is very important to have a good diet, sleep and a proper plan
and process which can help in improvement of health and as well as improvement in the work
with personal development. I realize that it is very important and one of the most important
single things you have which is completely subjective to the habits that developed in the living.
A good health represent a better personality and it also help in improving the hard work which
we can put in our life to improve, I believe that if you have a good health you can work more and
can do a lot of hard work which can improve your success add this student and also as a personal
development in your success (Liles, Vuk and Tariq, 2018). Everything is related to ourself and
health is the first priority I had while focusing on the success and the factors to become a better
person and improve my personality by showing the importance to my health. When I become
health conscious I realized that I can see a lot of changes in my personality and self-improvement
in the work which I was doing and I used to do a lot of hard work but on the other end becoming
in health conscious help me to do more and more work without damaging my health and improve
my success as a student.

improve the working to get a better future and a successful career in life. Having a lot of skills
