Self Image or How you see yourself

08-18-2007, 02:03 PM

I would rather be me than most people i meet.
I work on it every day.
One think most have issues with is, with matters of integrity, I do not feel a need to take other's emotions into consideration.
Some take issue with that.
I think it's childish.

Admired, etc, there is no way for me to get into another's head...so I would never presume to answer a question like that.
Many of my students have said very kind things to me and I have plaques and the like saying very grand things... I take them with a grain of salt. They credit me with things they did themselves. Sure, with my guidance, but only with that, that they have trouble seeing that has always confused me.
This issue in the West of feeling good about ourselves, feeling proud of our accomplishments, taking compliments that are due and accepting aptitude is really sad and I discourage it among my students.
