The essential feature which decides upon human effectiveness and competitiveness in the outer world, is competence. So, competence is an attribute of an adequately or well qualified human being who, due to this feature, can be easily distinguished from other individuals. Moreover, the possession of knowledge and an array of qualifications is beneficial not only to the distinguished individual but to the environment in which he actively functions, playing various social roles. Nevertheless, competence is not a gift given to us at birth. Instead, we are born as “tabula rasa” and with time, while developing physically, we also develop intellectually. Therefore, human development is an element of human life where people are involved in a life-long transformational process characteristic of interaction and socialization, which in consequence brings people to their competence and competitiveness. Hence, the present article is devoted to a brief discussion over selected stages of human life and activity which foster personality through transformational development.

Zasadniczą cechą, która decyduje o ludzkiej efektywności i konkurencyjności w otaczającym nas świecie, jest wiedza. Zatem, wiedza jest atrybutem stosownie wykształconego człowieka, którego można dzięki tej cesze z łatwością wyróżnić z jego otoczenia. Ponadto, stopień kompetencji i kwalifikacji stanowi korzyść nie tylko dla samego posiadacza wiedzy ale też dla środowiska, w którym on czynnie funkcjonuje, pełniąc różnorodne role społeczne. Niemniej jednak, wiedza nie jest darem danym nam w dniu narodzin. Przeciwnie, rodzimy się jako “tabula rasa” i z czasem, wraz z rozwojem fizycznym, rozwijamy się intelektualnie. Zatem, rozwój człowieka jest elementem ludzkiego życia, w trakcie którego ludzie poddani są procesowi transformacji, charakteryzującego się interakcją i socjalizacją, co w rezultacie wzmacnia ich wiedzę i konkurencyjność. Z tej racji, niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest zwięzłemu omówieniu wybranych stadiów ludzkiego życia i działalności, które wpływają na kształtowanie osobowości w procesie rozwoju transformacyjnego.
