Self-esteem vs Self-Defeating

"Life's too short! Pull the plug on self-defeating behavior and turn on the power of self-esteem"
- Abraham J. Twerski

  1. When you think you can, you can. There are things in life you have to put in all your work to get. Put your self in a state of mind where you will strive till you succeed. For example, now that im in getting closer to senior year, my goal is to attend college and i will have that positive attitude, and will work real hard to become a competitive applicant so i can be admitted to the college of my choice.
    but it al starts with believing in myself :)

  2. Self-esteem is what makes you an optimistic person because if you have self-confidence you can do anything. For example, if you have a lot of self-esteem you can accomplish many goals. Never have self-defeating thoughts always think positive and you can be very successful one day. Always Choose The Right 24/7 and you will be on top of the Student Success Pyramid with all the Academic Champions.. CTR!!!

  3. this quote is a very strong and true quote. like William Penn said "Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it". what this means is that its ALL up to you to make the decisions and decide which path to go to that is going to determine your future. you have to have high self esteem and think positive about yourself because if you think negative its not going get you nowhere far, but in the other hand having high self esteem you will find out yourself the good and become a winner.!! its part of c.t.r so always C.T.R students!!

  4. Sometimes the life you are living can be too short and that is why you have to enjoy what you have in life so far. Always try to aim high and try to enjoy your life as much as you can. Try and always go for what you aim for before anything, because in one second your life can be gone just like that without even knowing it. Achievements should always be part of your life and always try to achieve them. Because the goals in your mind are the ones that are going to make you become the person you want to be.

    Always Choose the Right<3

    Life is too short,you have to start making the best right away.You need to give yourself a positive self-esteem towards your education so it is more fun for you to learn and succeed.Don't wait till the last minute to accomplish something cause it may already be too late for you to reach that goal.Use your time wisely while you still have it,becuase in an instance your oppurtunity is gone.Self-esteem is your strength to being successful so use it.

  6. Having a good self-esteem is very important. Self-esteem is what helps you motivate yourself to do your best and be the best person you can be. If you have LOW self-esteem, then you wont motivate yourself to accomplish much because you are going to think your not able to. LOW self-esteem will bring you down and prevent you from accomplishing your goals. But if you have a HIGH or just a good self-esteem, then you will have the energy and motivation to reach your goals. It will bring you up and you will be successful in what ever you set your mind to be. =D

  7. I don't really understand what this quote is saying. What I think it is saying is that you should always have self-esteem. Having self-esteem will help you succeed in life. It helps you see the good. Self-defeating will not help you succeed. You have to forget about losing. Always think positive, think about succeeding. Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

  9. I think that what this statement is trying to say is to live life in a positive way as you can. Life is too short, so don't stress yourself with any little thing that is not important. live your life by doing good things dont say bad things dont bring yourself-esteem down. life is a great gift dont just let it go to waste.

  12. Instead of telling yourself you cant do it, keep a i can attitude in everything you do. No one has ever gotten anywhere without telling themselves first that they could do it, but most people always seem to think there not capable of doing it in the first place. But Ctr people always keep in mind they can do anything :)

  15. I don't really understand what this quote is saying. what I think it is saying is that you have to have self-esteem to succeed. It will help you recognize the good from the bad. Self-defeating will not help you. It is bad and will put you down. Your life will not be as successful as if you had self-esteem. You will do good and you will follow your dreams. Always CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!

  18. What I believe this quote is saying is that life is too short to redeem. Have good self-esteem and live life like there is no tomorrow. Have positive thinking in your mind daily and don't think you can KNOW you can! For instance, if you believe you can get great scores on quizzes and tests then you will.

  19. We All Are Scared Of Dying, So Just Because We Are Going To Die No Matter What, That Is No Reason To Stop Living And Enjoying LIfe. Turn The Bad Thoughts Into Happy Thoughts. Live Life To The Fullest Priority And Just HAve SOme Good Fun. For Example, Since We Only Live Once, Right A List Of THings You Want To Do Before You Die, Sort Of Like A Bucket List, Like The Top 10 Or 100 Or Even 1000 Things You Want to Do Before "Kicking The Bucket."

  20. Self-esteem is something you should have but not low-esteem, high-esteem. Having high-esteem means you believe in yourself, you believe in achieving goals and that there's nothing stopping you. You're determined to accomplish it. Having low-esteem is not believing in yourself. You have nothing to accomplish and thats sad because you will never be someone on life. Everyone has goals but some people that CTR has good goals and others that CTW have bad goals. Life is too short so start accomplishing your goals NOW. CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

  21. A high self-esteem is what makes you an optimistic person because if you have self-confidence you can do anything. Have a positive attitude and study hard then things will be easier for you. Have a high self-esteem and good behavior. If you have all that then you will succeed in life.

  22. I agree because it's true you have to have self-esteem value yourself don't think you can't do it when you know deep inside of you that you could do it but you just don't try. If you know that if you try hard and listen to what you have to do to learn how then do it don't just think about it. Have self-esteem because everyone has it and i know that you also know that you have it too and you make your self value, so try to do your very best. Choose the right! :)

  23. Life is too short. And you have to think about what you want to become in life. And you have to have good self-esteem. And just really put all your effort into what you want to become after high school. And always choose the right and never fail.

  25. I'm very happy to say that i can really relate to this posting because i always tell people that they need to stop living in the past because the future only gets shorter and shorter ad if we miss an opportunity it only cuts life's fruit in half. All of us should take this into consideration and do our best to be confident enough to be successful in life.

  27. I agree wit this quote. Self esteem is very important to your morale. If you have a low self esteem then every time you don't succeed you're going to beat yourself down. How are you ever going to accomplish anything when your own self is scared of what you will say. Having a high self esteem will mean you will keep trying because you are going to encourage your self when no one else is. When you believe in yourself it gives you more support. Have a high self esteem and choose the right.

  28. This is true because if you don’t turn off self-defeat then you will lose at what ever is you are trying to accomplish. If you have self-confidence you can do anything. If you have a lot of self-esteem you can accomplish many goals. Never have self-defeating thoughts because if you do you will not accomplish anything. So always think positive and you can be very successful. That’s what this quote means don’t let anything negative enter your mind, only positive.

  30. I think that that is so true about your self-esteem empowering you to do things that you wouldn't do if you had a low self-esteem. Just by saying to yourself that you can do something, you will be able to do it. Even when things aren't working out well at times you should keep your head held up high and believe in yourself because if you don't believe in yourself you won't be able to achieve anything.

  31. This quote is saying that having high self esteem you feel happy about yourself, but if you give up easily and have a low self esteem meaning you don't care about your self. Thats why its always best to stay positive.

  32. the saying is more of turn on the power of self-esteem than turn it off. if it actually is turn off the power of self-esteem then not that many people will have their self-esteem for them to reach their goals and strive for more.

If you have a high self-esteem that will get you very far in life because you have confidence in your self and that will motivate you to do whatever you want.

  34. Get rid of your low self esteem, it's not good for your health. Don't listen to what people have to say, raise the self esteem high, but not the point where you become too self-confident. For example, if you are having a bad day because a girl told you, your outfit doesn't match your shoes, ignore that person and continue with your being, Be happy for what you have, and who you are. Have self esteem and don't let people bring you down.

  36. Self-esteem.
    When having a high self esteem we feel like a super hero ,invincible.
    NOT in a cocky way, BUt in a way that we can say to ourselves that "we can do it." No matter what we set our mind to do we will defeat it.
    Be powerful.

  40. I think what this mean is that life can be short as long you pursue your goal nothing is worth gaining was gained without effort we can pursue our goal by choosing the right. Be a successful person don't stress your yourself out. Making good choices make good decisions you might have good life a longer life to live by pursuit of happiness.

  41. I agree. What i think this quote is saying is that life is too short and we have to live now and choose all the right decisions. I think we should try our best in anything we do and to accomplish even the smallest goals ever because those change your life forever and would make you a better academic champion and have a better successful future. Life is too short to be wasting your time in making the wrong decisions and regreting everything you do so make sure to choose the right.
