Weliveriya.I have a brother & a sister. Brother is studying at the Faculty of Engineering,

University of Moratuwa. My sister is doing her advanced level examination in the stream

of bio science at Rathnavali College at Gampaha.

Let’s back to my early child hood. In retrospect, when I was at the age of two, I was not

much a conversationalist. If I want something, I would cry unless& until given it to me

by my mom or dad. At the age of four I was such a nasty guy that I never obey my

parents.

My first alma mater was Buthpitiya junior school. I learnt there up to the grade five. I

was a on of the outstanding pupil in the school. I was the head prefect in grade five.

Having passed scholar ship examination in 1995 &enter to the Bandaranayaka College

which was my second alma mater. I was excelling in studies & extra-curricular activities.

I was too studious such that I came to first five outstanding pupils in each & every

examination held in the school. I was a member of the school red cross society. I

participated so many campaigns like blood donation, providing health care facility,

providing first aid facility to the victims. I organized no of awareness programmes in

order to educate people. I actively attended to the perahera festival held in Kelaniya &

School & passed the Dhamma School final examination.

I sat ordinary level examination in 2001, having passed it & Selected commerce stream to

do advanced level examination. In 2004 I got through A/L with good results. Passing A/L

made me a completely different person. It was my revolutionary period. Having passed

the exam made new era of my life.

That is because; till I pass the A/L I did not serious about anything, except exams. But

once I passed the examination, I realized that I should hold responsible for my self, but

not others. I should be partner of my progress. I, my self must enlighten my future.

Personal Strategic Plan (PSP)

Introduction

The most intelligent animal on the earth is considered to be the Human (In future it may

change. I presumed). Human beings have five sensitive organs (some may say there are

six). So that they can grab any incident by using those five sensitive organs. There by

they can foresee the future & retrospect the past. Each & every human being living on the

earth, have some sort of exceptions. No human life will ever exist, for the sake of

exceptions. Therefore people plan & make strategies to meet their expect ions.

PSP, make the platform to for us handle our journey easier. It assists in finding the way to

our future. Where should we land on next month, one year’s time? .whether the said goals

are achieved in given time frame. PSP will help us to evaluate our progress. PSP will be a

one of the partner of our progress.

It is obvious that any successful person has PSP. But some may call it PSP & some may

not.

I as a human being, I have to do lots in my life & have to accomplish lots of goals.

Therefore proper PSP is prerequisite of every successful person.

My Vision

Serving all humans for the uplifting their standard of living together with mentality.

Mission

To be a person who is capable of achieving my vision.

My Philosophy

Philosophy is all about belief of a person (you may argue that always not, you may right).

But I presume, all beliefs are in the once Philosophy. In other words philosophy is all

how a person sees something. It is fed by numerous criterions. It may be the education

person obtained, environmental factors, religion.

Each & every person has a philosophy. But some may know it as his philosophy, some

may not. Different people have different philosophies. Once philosophy will reflect what

kind of a person he is? His behavior? His character, His attitudes & so on.

To be a person with a vision, such person must have a good philosophy. It mirrors your

life.

I also have good vision, which combines with my religion. As a Buddhist, I am

committed to Buddhism. I believe, what in comparable Buddha taught & I practicing his

sermons.

Although modern sophisticated technology is there. As we are the most intelligent being

in the world. But there are incidents; humans are still incapable of detecting, preventing

or correcting them. That is because they are beyond the human control. So that no one

can not exceed natural phenomena. No one is able to control it yet. We are controlling by

the natural phenomena.

Buddhism teaches the way to react the natural phenomena. One famous saying in

Buddhism is “if one who adheres to the Buddhism, the Buddhism will protect him.

(Dahamen dahamia surakei). According to Buddhism you must held responsible for your

actions. You should take avenge for your actions. According to Newton “Every action

has a reaction”. If you commit wrong thing, you will receive results of it, even if you

committed it by secretly. That is because no one can cheat his or her consciences. If you

did good thing, you would receive good results. Therefore I personally believe things to

be done in the best interest if the people. Not for the just sake of doing it. The

imagination should be free from errors. Actions are honest & outspoken. From beginning

to end you are with the same mind.

As principle I do not find faults with others. But if some one shows my fault, I am

willingly to accepting it. I do not mind the person whom advised to me.

We all know for a fact that, we all are in this world just for a while. We are not

permanent residents in this world. We did not bring any thing here & we can not take

anything from here except our good or bad actions. Therefore you must admit to work

keeping mind that you will die tomorrow.

Life it self is a long struggle from birth to death. But you can convert this struggle in to

peaceful & enjoyable in terms of your dedication & commitment. You must be satisfied

with what you have. You should not go for extremes. Middle path is the best of every

thing.

A review of the subject

Life it self is long struggle from birth to death. Why do we feel so? Because we all are

human beings. We are so keen about, what is happening around us. We are so sensitive

unlike other animals. We are made of flesh & blood. You see how difficult to live (but

some would say, it is the way that you preserve your life. not always difficult. But my

argument is, although you suffer a lot about your life, you do not want to show it to

others. I am not pessimistic one). By using our five sensitive organs, we absorb every

action in terms of positive as well as negative.

As we all are human beings as well as social animals. As social animals we can not live

alone. We want to live together. Family is the smallest social organization in the society.

While living in the society, we have to engage with lots of people with different nature

because different people are brought up with different environment. So that living among

them would be the most challenging task.

One way of overcoming this task is, having a good education. HRM 2302 provided us a

tremendous knowledge about “how to be involved with human affairs & the society. This

subject was really helpful us to uplift our behavior, character, attitude as well. We gained

a lot about to our day to day life. This subject was not only for the studying but also for

practice. Course content was highly relevant for our lives. Especially subject areas like

“time management, Ethical decision making, and positive thinking” was so prestigious

for our lives.

Then I should specially mention about, the lecturer who conducted this lecture serious

was Mr.N.W.R.D.K. Dayarathna. He was one of the greatest teachers we ever had. We

were given a tremendous knowledge by him. He knew the art of teaching. As far as

teaching is concern, it is not an easy task. It involves lots of dedication & commitment.

He made us to absorb all essence of this subject during his lecture series. He assisted us

in each & every problem we faced. He made further clarification about, what is unknown

to us. He was good friend rather than a teacher.

Then I must say about Corporate Social Responsibility project we did. It was such a

noblest thing we ever did. Unlike other projects, this was highly keen on the morality of

humans. In this project we were not benefited by physically. It was for the mental

benefits.

We held a “First Aid Boxes” donating campaign, under the supervision of our former

lecturer Mr.N.W.R.D.K. Dayarathna & our A2 group members.

First we collected funds in order to buying first aid boxes. The ceremonially function was

held in management building & we donated first aid boxes to the other departments. We

were praised them a lot. We enjoyed a lot. We were given marks also.

Unlike other subject this subject added a value to our lives & it involved with lots of

activities which gained an experience to us.

About portfolio

Although preparing assignments seem to be made severe botheration on most of students.

That is because, most of them are dull & boring (not interesting). It is keen on subject

matters only. (If by chance, what would happen if the subject is not interested?). There,

what really students do is they do such assignment for the sake of doing.

Unlike other assignments this is some what interesting as well as important to our life

also. It is also really helpful to our future affairs as well.

How to be a valued & professional one

Life is always about making choices. What would happen if you end up with wrong

choices? No one will ever respect you. For you to be a valued & professional one, first

you must be good decision maker. You must weigh the prose & cones of the problem.

You must be an X-ray visionary viewer. Why it is so important? It is because your

professionalism is measured in terms of the accuracy of the decision you made. Why the

decision making so important to be a valued one. Your wealth is measured in terms of

your ability to make firm decisions. The way that you make decisions will show your

character, your behavior, your attitudes as well as your beliefs. It also shows your

flexibility, adoptability, commitment & perseverance. Not only they will see you from,

the way you adopt to find solution. Compare & contrast about decision made and check

whether solutions are firmly made.

To be a valued & professional one you must process a good

character. Nor person will ever considered as valued or professional one until & unless, if

he processes a good character. Character shows every thing about you. Other than that

others perception of yours is mainly depend on your character.

Another Essentional thing is managing the time. We all know for

a fact time is the one of the prestigious factor that we have. It is limited compared to life

spam of a person. The way that you adopt to manage your time will decide your future.

There you must follow list of strategies. You should complete your given tasks on time

not more or less.

Next issue is the way you look at the problems. If you think positively,

fine, but if not? You must bear every thing compassionately. Middle path is the best of

every thing.

These are the core factors to be a valued & professional one.
