...when you base your confidence on who you are, instead of what you accomplish, you have created something that no one or no circumstance can ever take away from you.

My Thoughts

No matter how experienced a person is in a particular job/field, there'll always be things that he doesn't know pertaining to that particular job/field. So it's ok to admit that you don't know certain things (even things that may be expected of you to know). There's no need to pretend that you know when you actually don't. It takes a person who is humble to admit that he doesn't know. And it takes a person who knows his own worth and who is self-assured to admit that he doesn't know, even admitting to someone who is new to a particular job/field that he doesn't know certain things. Therefore, to those who feel compelled to prove their own worth to the people around them, I want to say the following: Learn to appreciate your own worth. Work on your self-esteem. And know that each of us is made differently with his own unique talents and capabilities.

The Price of Beauty

I can never understand why some girls/women are so willing to go for plastic surgery despite the pain, etc. I can understand if they want to have plastic surgery because of accidents though. Is beauty really that important that they would rather bear with the pain, etc? Is just having an 'ok' look not good enough? Do the views of men really matter? 

Self-Esteem

A person's sense of self-esteem (self-worth) should never be dependent on external factors because nothing in this world is permanent.

The Power of Belief

A person's self-confidence is determined, in part, by what he believes about himself.

Dare to Dream

I don't understand why some people feel so insecure that they must over-exert their authority and thus making life hell for those who report to them.

前几年所经历的风风雨雨令我领悟到自信心的重要性。若没有自信心，就可能会觉得自己无法承受这些风风雨雨，也可能会觉得自己无法克服生命中的风雨。

Dare to Dream

To believe in ourselves and our own abilities is very important, especially if there are people in our lives who have the tendency to put us down. I am thankful that there is no such person in my life right now and I pray that such people will never enter my life ever again.

How you see yourself is more important than how others see you.



Dare to Dream

Having self-confidence is essential. But having a bloated ego is damaging to one's spiritual well-being and to one's relationship with others.
