Childhood and adolescence are the foundation periods of life for the development of this trait of human personality. We know that we can perform our duty towards others well only if we know our responsibility towards ourselves. It is possible only if every aspect of our personality is developed well. So before learning our sense of responsibility towards others, we must take care of the development of various aspects of our personality like physical, emotional, and social development.
