Don't worry so much about your self-esteem. Worry more about your character. Integrity is its own reward.

Self-esteem must be earned! When you dare to dream, dare to follow that dream, dare to suffer through the pain, sacrifice, self-doubts, and friction from the world, you will genuinely impress yourself.

Language is our way of communicating what we want and who we are. By using bad language, we diminish the divine spark within us that defines our humanity.
