Self-esteem

Self-esteem

One day I was reading a teen’s magazine with my girlfriend; the name of an article really got my attention: “I would like to change my life” Let me say something I do not like to read existentialist stuff; but that day I was reading just for fun. So, we decided to check what it was about. The author of the text was a psychologist who says that these days too many people did not accept themselves as they are. 

That magazine had a lot of quizzes too. We took a quiz that has a lot of questions to evaluate people’s self-esteem. But, at the end of it, there wasn’t a chart as usual:

Mostly A answers… you… Mostly B answers… you…

This quiz was a little different, it takes people through a route made by questions; according to your answer you take the next questions. But any way, the final question tells you whether you have self-esteem or not. Would you like to answer it, here you are:


Do you know someone better than you? 

O.K, the one who answers yes, should evaluate his/her self-esteem; but the one who answer no has good self – esteem.  It was just a teen quiz, but it helps me say what I’ve always thought:  “everyone is a piece of art made by God”. Everyone is unique. It is true that everyone has problem. That is life. Life is not that easy, but it is beautiful. We just have to work hard every day to improve the way we live and to get what we want in life.
