self-awareness and self-esteem

It’s very important that everyone should know more about themselves with self-awareness and self-esteem. Self- awareness allows us to know more about ourselves, understand more about oneself, which also enable us to be more aware of individual’s feeling and behavior. I find that it’s very meaningful to get to know more about own self. Everyone had a hidden self, they just don’t expose to the others, but sometimes, humans don’t know about that hidden self. Or maybe sometimes they don’t know why they had a different thinking or behavior from the others. We usually have the wrong impression on ourselves, hence it’s best to know more about ourselves, understand what we want and know what we are exactly doing. And also best to know the true person in the deep side. To understand more about other, understand one self first.

On another hand, self-esteem also plays an important part in everyone’s life. It reflects the presentation of one self and self worth. Self-esteem refers to the pride or owns self, does the person had the confident to take up the challenge? Does the person able to gain respect from the others? It’s good to know whether we have self-esteem or not, the reason is because that’s when the performance of each self is involved. For example, if one is always walking very sloppy, it had already reflected he or she had low self-esteem. And everyone should had a balance or even high self-esteem to lead a healthy teen life, most importantly, enjoy and be yourself (: I guess im prefectly fine, i look a small personal test during the LMS tutorial today, and find out that i actually had high self-esteem!~

Actually, there are some factors which affect one’s presentation or image. And this is when self-esteem come in. when one is confident and happy with their lives; he or she will present themselves with pride, and are proud that they are in that way. Sometimes the peers around medo play a part too, they’re the one who I usually hang on with and interact with, hence their influence on us had an impact. Unexpected events also affect me too, like the death of someone close or getting poor results in examination, and i guess i wouldn't want to face those too.

In order to raise my self-esteem, I’ll definitely have to overcome those fear and sadness in my heart. I’ll find someone to talk about my problems and seek for help from my family too. They’re the one who I trust and love me the most; hence, they can give me the best solution to my worries and lead me out of the dark. I’ll also interact more and try to make more friends to build up my self-esteem too, that’s when we can to more about others. getting involved in outdoors activities is one of my choice too, I believe when one is expose to greater challenge is able to build up self-confident and experience a lot more.

I was wondering what I’ll be after five years, how much will I changed? Will I be still having high self-esteem? Or will I be still aware about myself? I hope I’ll definitely be having those important values of life. In the next five years, I’ll definitely want my friends to remember me, as someone who is cheerful which enable to look at thing with a positive mind, Sensitive to know and care about other’s feelings, outgoing which allows me to interact and made friends with them, humours which brought loads of laughter to them and independent without any worries from my peers. I hope they will still remember me as a consoler too, who help them to live themselves and walk out of the past unhappy happenings. Of course, in the five years time, I hope I can overcome my fears and also kick away my bad habit, on another hand I wish to keep all of my positive characteristics. Hopefully, I can be a greater leader in the eyes of the others and also present myself better to my friends. And also I wish to gain more confident and able to hand more difficult challenges. To build up better leadership skills, I hope to take up more tasks or event planning which required leadership skills. As for confident, I wish to overcome the fear of being on the stage, and maybe I’ll take up activities that required to be on the stage and lead the people for the events.
