B

Our success in business, sports, friendship, love-nearly everything we attempt-is largely determined by our own self-image. People who have confidence in their personal worth seem to be essential for success and happiness. Good things drop into their hands regularly, their relationship are long-lasting, their projects are usually carried to completion. To use the image an English writer created, they “catch job on the wing”.

Opposite to that, some people seem to hold attraction for failure and unhappiness. Their plans go in a wrong manner, they have a way of destroying their own potential success and nothing seems to work out for them. For such persons, their problems usually have as origin a difficulty with self-acceptance. When they gain more confidence through others’ help, often their troubles take care of themselves.

It is believed that anyone can change his self-estimation. A person with low self-image is not necessarily limited to a life of unhappiness and failure. It is possible to get rid of negative attitudes and gain the healthy confidence needed to realize one’s dream.
