Author's Insights: Stability vs Plasticity

Since I already discussed about stability vs. plasticity in my last blog entry. I will share to you my personal thoughts and experience regarding this issue.  

I am second to the last child in the family.  When I was growing up my father was always there for me and he is my best friend and I was always grateful for that because I knew she was someone I could talk to. I have a strong and intimate relationship with my family and I would say I am the best version of myself because of them. I am afraid to grow up because it seems like things will never be the same that I will handle more responsibility to myself. When I was a 5 years old, I am very cheerful and energetic. When we have occasions I always dance and I participate in different activities. When I was in high school, I started to be quiet and shy but I also have a strong personality and I always wanted to be a good leader. When we have activities in school, I took the responsibilities of our section in order for us to win. Now I’m a college student, I’m very shy and I don’t want to participate in any kind of activities. I become quiet and I don’t want to talk to anyone except to my friends.

I realize that when it comes to the development of an individual one of the most constant situation will be changes. As per the plasticity vs. stability it states that in plasticity it has the ability to be change or modified based on the influential experiences of an individual while in stability it is the lifelong characteristics. I think every individual needs to adapt new changes in order to be fully developed.
