From the discussion, i find that everyone has a inner self, someone that he or she wants others to look at and another self that is very private. one of the most meaningful things that i realised is how one person can manage his or her fears. using such method we are able to overcome so much more things in life, that we are afraid of or having a fear of doing it. Through the discussion i also learnt that each person has different self esteem, some people may have very high self esteem and others havce lower self esteem. However there are ways to boost the self esteem, such as making the person feel good about themselves or just loving themselves. I feel that i have a rather high self esteem. i am not afraid to talk to people and always feel good about myself. At the same time i am not perfect, i sometimes feel that people who uses words to put me does actually affect my self esteem. These are just some of it, there are also times where i felt that i does not do a good or just someone just takes over my jobs, which makes myself feel that i am redundant. At these times, i would always find ways to boost my self esteem up again. One way is for me take i step back and reorganise my thoughts. Then i would start to push myself up. Five years down i would want people to remember as someone who has: 1.impacted the lives or others through my actions. 2.been someone who would bring happiness to others 3.been there for them 4.always been giving his best 5. always respected by others Five years before, i was a tiny boy who is very afraid to talk to people. never will to be the best for myself. Many things has change since then, i have become someone who is not afraid to talk to people and always made sure the things i do is the best for me. In life the will defintely be obstacles and challenges. At the same time, life in singapore has been to fasted paced. My strategy for all the challenges would be to slow down, take a step back and look forward to solve it! These challenges would most probably be peer pressure, working stress, time, financial management. Most importantly would be time as each person has only 24 hr a day and it needs to be planned!! If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!! the future starts today, not tomorrow-Pope John Paul II
