More on Self Esteem

There are three areas that you can manage the "impressions" that others have of you. If self esteem comes from self concept, improve self concept by:

1. Appearance: Which is better: a much needed haircut that is washed and clean or a $50 haircut that is uncombed and smelly? It's what you do with what you have!

2. Setting: Which is better: a small, uncluttered and clean apartment in an old house or a new and large, dirty townhouse that smells of used kitty litter? It's what you do with what you have!

3. Manner: Which is better: you go out to eat at a nice food establishment and the waiter tips a glass of water over so you yell at him and tell him how stupid he is or you tell him that's ok and you know it was an accident? It's what you do with what you have!
