self-worth

juz finished eating my kinder bueno.. all thanks to celi.. hee..

while eating, i took out this box and saw this notebook of mine tt i nv touch for quite sometime.. inside ar.. alot of meaningful stuff.. shall "extract" 1 entry.. here it goes:

self-worth: what we think of ourselves.
- It shows up in the things we say or do, even in the way we receive compliments. have you ever noticed how many pple squirm when they receive a compliment? do you ever ger uncomfortable when u receive one? you shouldnt.

A compliment is someone else's opinion, their positive appraisal. dont step on that person's worthy evaluation. ask urself, "who am i to negate this person's assessment of me?"

so accept their comment graciously, thank them and allow their compliment to find a home in ur heart. it's important to learn how to receive praise. how do u learn to accept compliments graciously? when someone praises you, simply say "thank you" without giving in to any urge to minimise being worthy of the praise..

lolx.. while reading, i was thinking: shld i learn to be like her more? den maybe i can think that i'm all-wonderful and maybe lah, juz maybe, pple will stop giving compliments coz i'm abit too bhb? lolx.. well, it sounds like a great idea.. hmm.. but u see ar.. when i'm ard her and pple give her compliments, sometimes i hear a tinge of sarcasm.. or maybe i think too much... but it aint that gd mah.. like pple try to fake u by saying sth good with the wrong tone.. den the worse thing is when one cant recognise the wrong tone and accept the compliment as it is, wrong tone and all.. anyway, it's hard not to match wat pple say to wat u think and feel abt urself..hmm.. dunno how to end off this thing.. when i'm free, will add on..
