Two scales of Human Development: WYTYA and WYRA



Human development is usually hindered by a various number of
phenomena. One of the main reasons can be identified as ignorance; ignorance of
a human being towards human development. Often it happens that humans as social
beings ignore the self development and stress on various other factors such as
money, etc. In fact, money is ultimately or indirectly dependant on self
development.
When it comes to self development, it basically comes to measuring our own self and making some real time calculations. Basically, there are two scales, namely,
1. WYRA (what you really are)
2. WYTYA (what you think you are)
Human beings mostly assume the WYTYA to be the WYRA which
can be misleading and that brings a lot of complexity to the real life doings,
mainly failures. WYRA is a scale that measures what you really are, i.e. the
actual potentialities that a human being possesses, the ones that he/she is
aware or not aware of. WYTA is a very important scale in the human life as
ignorance of this scale can virtually kill the person in the real world. The
person can get subjected to the adverse effects of competition, etc.
WYTYA on the other hand is the scale which tells the person
what he/she thinks he/she is, i.e. the potentialities that a person has
fallaciously accepted to be his/her own. This incidence can occur as a result
of many factors, most of them accounting for miscalculations or no proper
assessments of the individual self. In simple words, when a person ignores all
the factors in life and only stresses on the wealth factor, he tends to relate
the wealth factor to other relevant factors that can bring him closer to the
wealth factor as the wealth factor is an independent factor in its own. The other
relevant factors that the individual chooses decides the WYTYA scale.
Sometimes, the person maybe illogical and put various other strengths into his
assessment to count into his potents, whereas the strength stands nowhere in
his WYRA. Now this strength again may be counted as own due to many other
factors, such as,
1. Peer Pressure.
2. Universal Applicability: This is basically when a person feels that this particular strength will be more effective in the real world in comparison with the others.
3. Unconscious Acceptability: This is when the person accepts the strength without his conscious consent, in other words, it is brought upon him by his surroundings.
WYTYA can get dangerous when a person accepts more
unacceptable strengths in opposition to his WYRA. This can be so as a person
accepting new strengths will stress more upon his acquired strengths rather than
his actual strengths n the entire WYTYA scale can go into reverse WYRA.
Hence, WYTYA scale of life is higher than WYRA when a person
accepts significant amount of strengths into his potentials, and WYRA scale of
life is higher than WYTYA when the person stresses only on his strengths rather
than accepting any new strengths.
WYTYA > WYRA = negative effects
WYTYA < WYRA = positive effects.
It may also be noted that WYTYA and WYRA scales never are
equivalent to each other. Let us conclude with the imaginary schedule given above.
