The year is coming to an end once again . As the year looms to an end people often look back to the year that was . At the start of each year we often do some New Year resolutions . Things that we want to change as the start of New Year signals a new us . And as the year ends , we often do a little self-check and see if we are able

to do the things that we promise to change

There are two ways to check ourselves - self-evaluation and self-reaction . Now how do they differ ? Let 's take it from the term itself . What is the difference before reacting and evaluating ? These two both involve self-checking but how do we draw the line between the two . A reaction is an immediate response of a body to certain things or situations . An unexpected event or thing can lead us to react in an unpleasant way . For example , robbery or accidents can freak us out and eventually lead us to do the wrong thing . Self-reaction is studying how we react to unexpected situations . It is a check of how prepared and composed we are to handle unexpected things . It is more often a sudden emotion (Harvey , 2002 ,

. 245 . Self-evaluation is actually a closer look at one 's self . In newly-opened restaurants , they often give their customers a service evaluation form . They want to know what their customers think of their service . The customers then rate their performance . Now that is evaluation . We rate ourselves from the things we 've done from the previous year . It may occur to us that we have reacted so badly in this certain situation . Or maybe this change of perception helps us to be more productive in the every thing . A self-evaluation is a closer look at us , grading , even critiquing ourselves . It is a chance of changing the bad habits and continuing the good ones (Harvey , 2002 ,

. 245

Self-reaction and self-evaluation should be done in a regular basis to help improve one 's life . It is a great opportunity to look back and think of all the good and the bad things that we have done and have a chance to make our lives better
