Self-esteem
While I was doing a research in the dictionary about the meaning of self-esteem, I realized that it is stated that self-esteem is what I think about myself, it is the love that I have for myself as a person and that it tends to be confused with narcissism, it is what I think, it is my value as a human being, it is to accept who we are to emerge and succeed. Self-esteem defines us as complete human beings.
Most of the time, the parents are the ones who define self-esteem because they are the first individuals with whom we share. When children are on average between two and three years old they go through a period in which they ask everything, for instance, the usefulness of each object. During this period parents must be vigilant and respond to children to develop trust. Parents should see them directly in the eyes and answer their questions, this is a fundamental process.
One way to visualize people with high self-esteem is when we find optimistic people, with positive way of thinking, and self-determination. They are also competent, this kind of people knows how to react to what happens and they do not get depressed by events. Usually, someone with high self-esteem use to be "the life of the party", like a social butterfly.
No matter what social class you come from, we have to grow strong. In the future children will be self-confident humans and they will make a better world. I read about successful people, because of this, I can state that all of them have had ups and downs in their lives, but the reason why they succeeded in life was that they thought about themselves positively. An example is Jack Canfield, a man who belonged to low social classes, he lost his job but he trusted on himself and decided to publish a book called "Chicken soup for the soul". Today he is a billionaire man. On the other hand, someone who I admire and I will say that he is my inspiration is Chris Gardner. When he was 28 years old, he did not have a home and he had to take care of his son. Gardner believed that there is nothing impossible and we must fight in order to achieve whatever we want. As a result of this man‘s story, the movie "In the Pursuit of Happiness" was produced. Chris Gardner is also the current owner of a financial institution in Chicago, that is called Gardner Rich. He is a motivational lecturer. I invite you to read his new book called “Start Where You Are”.
My personal advise is "avoid being shy or introverted" because that can affect you if you want to get a job in the future. A pessimistic person does not achieve anything. We need to trust in ourselves, learn to live the life which is very short, and in that way we should be able to dream. Sometimes it is good enough to be selfish.

I advise you to take a picture and every time you feel bad observe that photograph of yourself, you should say : I love with my soul who is reflected in that picture and I will fight and do whatever it is necessary for whom is there, we must begin with ourselves.
