We are exactly what our history made us to be. - Stephen Richards, Boost Your Self Esteem

"For us to regard others as worthy, we have to begin by regarding ourselves as worthy."

"A failure is always in the passenger seat in his or her life."

"Feeling indifferent or reserved about doing something is a signal that it is probably not correct after all."

"Failing to make it to the list of the best 5 students in class or not being named the team captain should not make anyone feel like they have failed."

"If we can acquire an attitude of self-belief, then we will surely determine our future actions and our future life opportunities."
