Quotes about self
self-esteem teenager who-i-am
The biggest problem I had - and the biggest problem teenagers have - is not how they dress, how they look or how they act or talk. It's how they see themselves - their self-esteem. In the tenth grade, I realized I am who I am. I've got big ears and big feet. I can etiher sulk around or I can be happy with who I am. The minute I decided to be confident with who I was, all that other stuff stopped. It's all in the way you carry yourself. Clay Aiken
self-esteem opportunity years
When I have my interview with my God, our conversation will focus on the individuals whose self-esteem I was able to strengthen, whose faith I was able to reinforce, and whose discomfort I was able to assuage—a doer of good, regardless of what assignment I had.

My happiness and my sense of worth has been immeasurably improved as a result. Clayton Christensen

As Christ's ministry drew to its close, its severity and its gentleness both increased; its severity to the class from whom it never turned away.

Alexander MacLaren
