Self-esteem
Guidance for Reciting
Just as Bill Gates said，“The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.”
Self-esteem is a kind of energy，and when it is high，people feel like they can handle anything. It is what one feels when special things are happening or everything is going great. A word of praise，a smile，a good grade on a report card，or doing something that creates pride within oneself can create this energy. When feelings about the self have been threatened and self-esteem is low，everything becomes more of an effort. It is difficult to hear，see，or think clearly，and others seem rude，inconsiderate，and rough. The problem is not with others，it is with the self，but often it is not until energies are back to normal that the real problem is recognized.
自尊
诵读导言
正如比尔？盖茨所说，“这个世界并不会在意你的自尊，而是要求你在自我感觉良好之前先有所成就。”
自尊心是一种能量。自尊心强的时候，人们感觉好像能够处理任何事情。这就是当特殊事情发生或一切进行得很顺利时一个人的感觉。一句赞扬的话、一个微笑、成绩单上的一个好分数，或者做那些使自己引以为豪的事，都能产生这种能量。当自我感觉受到威胁，自尊心不足时，任何事在更大程度上都变成了一种需要费力去做的负担。（对此）很难听清楚、看真切、想明白；其他人都似乎没有礼貌、不体谅人、粗暴。问题并不在别人，是在自己。但常常直到恢复到正常的精神状态，人们才认识到真正的问题之所在。
