What a topic to end this week’s #hiveleaners featured content. And this is topic that many will definitely interpret in different meaning because that is how learning is. By this I mean we all have understandings in various perceptions.
Self esteem is an invisible character in a human that brings boldness which either have been emulated by a person or that the person is born with it, and which eventually makes one to be confidence. And this trait usually starts from when we are children because we can see some kids who are not outspoken, shy and barely can communicate even in the classroom. While we see others, so sharp, smart and moving. Many of this children will grow up not having self expression and it might take them time to come out of their shell 🐚. Others will become the mastermind, living life with self esteem, boldness, confidence and assertive. It all starts from somewhere because you need to at all times stand with your head held high.
Confidence here then becomes a thing of environmental up bringing since some parents who thinks of the future intentionally begin to allow their children to mix up with other children who they know will benefit their own children early in life, while other parents are afraid 😳 that their children might be misled by others, thereby not allowing them to mixup to gain experiences that might expose them to the confidence they need to grow up with to face life.
I remembered one event that happened during my secondary school days. The school I was attending was one not too far from were I leave with my parents, although I usually will just take one bus 🚌 to school thro and back. And sometimes I can walk home with some other students when we are many. And again, while attending this said school, I found out that I was not properly matching up with the subjects being taught, but was only hoping that time will change things.
Then one weekend a childhood friend of mine who was in a boarding school far from were we stay came back for a weekend. I was happy 😃 to see her. And by the time we started to interact about school, I learned how better she has gotten because the school had better teachers and environment. And then , I immediately told my parents of how I want to change my school. I told them I want to go to the school where this my childhood friend was then. My mother was afraid 😳 of how I will leave home to a boarding school at a tender age, but I instead I must go because it help build my future. And from the way my father saw the confidence I have, he helped me to process my transfer to the boarding school 🏫. I can tell you my parents never regretted my going to that boarding school because I was exposed to many good things, especially how I carried myself which is called “Self Esteem “.
We can all testify today that many children who had access to early exposure in life are moving faster than those whose parents are not well informed. Although, we all know that all fingers are not equal, but some of this tactic does not cost 💲 much. We all needs some push here and there to be able to come out from our shells 🐚. Confidence can come natural because of early exposure, while some has to be build when we are already grown into adulthood.
So many who are not confident of themselves can not help, but keep shying away which definitely will affect there interaction with others. They can not speak in gatherings , crowds or stay sociable. They live with phobia and always under pressure. But I believe that time heals the wounds. If we are not confident with ourselves or over doing some certain things, it will only take some time because the saying that “practice makes perfect “ is one that is never wrong. And “experience being the best teacher”.
So in all, I will say that self esteem, confidence and experience are what will lead to superiority because they all are like partners in progress, working together for one purpose and objective.
