Self Esteem: The Most Important Setup for Every Human Being

Assalamualaikum.

I don't have the exact definition of self esteem as many books and websites elaborate the meaning in such long sentences which discourage me to read further more. I was exposed to the reality of self esteem since I was a child, you know... primary school...

Self esteem is described as how do you view yourself.

Do you like yourself?

Do you love yourself?

Do you want to be yourself (as you are) or do you want to be another person?

Have you ever thought of... untungnya la dia boleh dapat barang-barang mahal... untungnya la dia boleh pakai baju mahal... kan bagus kalau aku pun dapat suami macam suami dia...

Positive self esteem always makes you a grateful person, in which you feel occupied with all things and love you have. It doesn't make you ask for more, and always for more.

Negative self esteem causes you to cry a lot over a conflict, fight a lot over small matter. Even if anyone else has the smart phone while you don't, negative self esteem will always exaggerate you dissatisfied feeling over the non-existence of the smart phone. Negative self esteem also means friction and trouble.

It is very important for every kid to learn how to gain the positive self esteem since their childhood. Why? Because they'll grow up and face a lot of challenging situations which need them to be themselves. Tell you what, positive self esteem makes one to stand out very firm, (orang Melayu cakap ada jati diri, bukan menjadi lalang) strongly chasing what he wants in his life.
