A man and his own self awareness

A man and his own self awareness is important. But how to achieve self awareness is different from person to person. Some people were born with a great sense of self awareness. He has many ways to feel his own presence such as, smarter than other people, calmer than other people, more courageous than other people. He might be able to accomplish more things. He might be more certain on things he has done. But for some, there are uncertainties. They might have self expectation too high to reach by themselves. Their internal senses might not be as sharp to perceive the world around him.

But for most people. The self awareness has to come from doing things. It would require laboring physically, interacting with other people, or thinking and feeling internally. For most people, self awareness could come most easily from physical accomplishment like, a carpenter finished a sculpture, or fixed a chair. Most people would love to call out to other people so they can see what they have been doing. In a way, they would like other people to acknowledge their existence, and more. Because, existence is only existence. How to exist is basic to self awareness as we human, especially to the more educated ones.

An architect realized his project from his blueprints into a physical standing structure. People will see it and said, wow. A carpenter would wish for that as well. A cook prepared a great dish, he would love people to come and enjoy the food. For those people, their accomplishments are visible. It is easier to present. But what about the others, like a policeman? What if this policeman never made an arrest and under his watch, the traffic were always smooth? After his retirement, how can people tell he in the lines of duty, accomplished a great deal for his community? What about a teacher? And most importantly, what about parents?

I heard an old saying somewhere, I forgot where. It said that a Dad needs not his kids saying much about him, but a Mom needs. Because Mom takes care of her kids in the house, the people outside know not much. This would be somewhat odd in a modern world since many moms works outside today . The saying is an ancient one.
