I think the biggest difference is that I've noticed Western parents seem much more concerned about their children's psyches, their self-esteem, whereas tough immigrant parents assume strength rather than fragility in their children and therefore behave completely differently.
Amy Chua
Image
Real self-esteem has to be earned. I also believe in virtuous circles, like, nothing is fun until you are good at it. It is great if you can instill in children the ability to not give up, to have a work ethic.
Amy Chua

It's up to each of us to get very still and say, 'This is who I am.' No one else defines your life. Only you do.
Oprah Winfrey

LOGOMACHY, n. A war in which the weapons are words and the wounds punctures in the swim-bladder of self-esteem - a kind of contest in which, the vanquished being unconscious of defeat, the victor is denied the reward of success.

self-esteem, n. An erroneous appraisal.
Ambrose Bierce

If we experience any failures or setbacks, we do not forget them because they offend our self-esteem. Instead we reflect on them deeply, trying to figure out what went wrong and discern whether there are any patterns to our mistakes.
Robert Greene

Often Satan injects pride into the believer's spirit, evoking in him an attitude of self-importance and of self-conceit. He causes him to esteem himself a very outstanding person, one who is indispensable in God's work. Such a spirit constitutes one of the major reasons for the fall of believers.
Watchman Nee

A quality such as self-esteem is a result of practicing good human relations.

You... and only you choose your thoughts.
Wayne Dyer

You have a one of a kind gift to offer this world, and you are unique in the entire history of creation.
Wayne Dyer
Image
You need to keep reminding yourself that you are a Divine piece of God. Feeling as if you're unworthy of God's abundance is the same as denying your spiritual essence.
Wayne Dyer
Image
Praise & esteem can feel good, which is fine, but don't look to them for inner peace & lasting happiness.
Allan Lokos

In God's eyes, no one on this planet is any better than you.
Wayne Dyer

Sometimes people with low self-esteem will try to punish you for caring about them.
Wayne Gerard Trotman

Grosvenor and Burke suggest that continually, though silently, a school building tells students who they are and how they should think about the world. It can help to manufacture rote obedience or independent activity it can create high self-confidence or low self-esteem.
Alison Lurie

Demands for equality for women are threats to men's self-esteem and sense of sexual turf.
Alice S Rossi

To those who have lived long together, everything heard and everything seen recalls some pleasure communicated, some benefit conferred, some petty quarrel or some slight endearment. Esteem of great powers, or amiable qualities newly discovered may embroider a day or a week, but a friendship of twenty years is interwoven with the texture of life.
Samuel Johnson
Image
We can never do the right thing as long as we are out to please someone else.
Alice Miller

Slobodan Milosevic was just as smart as a five-year-old. Five-year-olds have an uncanny way of getting into your psyche, your self-esteem.
Wesley Clark
Image
I feel like our future is our confidence and self-esteem.
Tupac Shakur
Image
Friendship is made up of esteem and pleasure pity is composed of sorrow and contempt: the mind may for some time fluctuate between them, but it can never entertain both at once.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
These 'philosophers', etc., seem unaware, to give a specific example, that by teaching and preaching 'identity', which is empirically non-existent in this actual world, they are neurologically training future generations in the pathological identifications found in the 'mentally' ill or maladjusted.
Alfred Korzybski

Identity is invariably false to facts.
Alfred Korzybski
Image
Identification makes general sanity and complete adjustment impossible. Training in non-identity plays a therapeutic role with adults.
