LESSON 1 Developing a Sound Outlook in Life
Objectives: At the end of lesson, the learners should be able to:
1. discuss factors that influence the outlook in life of an individual.

2. explain how to develop a positive outlook in life
Introduction
Your outlook on life is a direct reflection of how much you like yourself. Those of us,
who find our outlook on life grim, amongst other factors, rely on others to provide a main source
of happiness. Those of us with a positive outlook on life found a unique and true happiness that
is authentic and raw.
Activity
List down three symbolic items which you think represent

three people: a member of the family or relative, a teacher
or school personnel and a friend who have influenced your
present outlook in life. Explain why you chose these
items/objects to represent them.
Based on the activity: How do you change someone's outlook

on life? What is the best attitude to have a positive outlook in
life? How can you make your life outlook happy?
ABSTRACTION
As you gradually grow up into an adult, you start having mixed feelings about
yourself, the people around you and the events that make a typical teenager’s world. You
need a sound outlook in life to face the daily challenges. Your outlook in life shows your
attitude towards schoolwork, your choice of friends and activities which you and your
group enjoy, how you handle your allowance, your choice of clothes, and the way you
relate to people.
Your outlook in life starts taking shape in the family. As you grow older, you
begin to adopt the thinking, reasoning and reactions of your family which you apply in
relating to others. Soon your outlook broadens to include a remarkable teacher who
influences you in making life better for yourself and for others. A neighbor or a friend
who has helped bring you closer to God should be thanked for the lifelong benefit.
You may not know it, but you may have developed your outlook in life because
of the following circumstances:

Factors that Influence In School and

At Home One’s Outlook in Life Among Friends
1. In the Mother’s Home

Media and
Communication
Recent studies have shown that a baby inside a mother’s womb does not only
develop physiologically but psychologically and emotionally as well. The mother’s
feeling of love or insecurity can be passed on to the unborn child. This explains why
babies born from unwanted pregnancies have a low birth weight which later leads to
malnutrition and poor performance in school. On the other hand, babies whose
mothers talk or read to them have normal birth weights, are healthy and do well in
school when they grow up
2. At Home
Our home is our first school where we learn the basic lessons in life such as
love, respect, obedience, cooperation and acceptance. We learn to see and
appreciate the beauty of life. A child who is often ridiculed tends to be shy and
thinks he is not appreciated for what he is and can do.
3. In School and Among Friends
Every child spends time learning in school. The school environment can
influence his viewpoint of life. Schools require standards of behavior and learning to
guide the child as he grows up and develops into a grown-up individual.
4. Media and Communication
Teenagers would rather spend long hours with the internet, watching videos or
texting rather than studying or playing wholesome games. Parents, on the other
hand, should look into the interest of their children, because media can be powerful
enough to affect their life.
APPLICATION
Draw a picture of any form of media which you think represents who you are
and write reflection about your output. Your creativity is needed. Follow the
rubrics attached in the last page of the first module.
A1. True or False: Write T, if the statement is true, and F, if the statement is not
true. Write your answer on your journal.
1. Your personal outlook in life shows the way you dress up.
2. Mistakes are “roadblocks” that keep you from moving forward.
3. Children first learn respect, love and acceptance in school.
4. The kind of friends we keep can change our outlook in life.
5. Teenagers would rather spend time with their cellular phone than talk to their
parents.
Did you get 3 out of 5? Good! Keep up the good work. However, if you missed some
numbers, you may go back to the lesson and try again! You surely will do better.
