people, for example very small feet, long necks, thick bottom lips, very fat bodies, very thin
bodies, no hair or lots of hair. In some cultures being plump is even considered a sign of health and wealth. Perceptions about beauty and ideal body shapes change constantly and
it is anybody’s guess what the definition of beauty will be in the future!

Lesson 2 Abilities, interests and potential 2.1
Identify your own abilities, interests and potential Not everyone does everything equally well. It is important to
know what you are good at and what makes you feel good about yourself. People tend to remember their mistakes and
forget about the things they do well. You must be brave and
start trying out new things, even if you don’t know whether
you will succeed. This is the only way to find out in what you excel. You must become more aware of your own interests
and abilities to develop and improve yourself and reach your
full potential. You can figure out what these things are by
identifying the things that make you happy and help you relax.
