“Part of me suspects that I’m a loser, and the other part of me thinks I’m God Almighty.” John Lennon.  Your self-esteem is probably the most important part of your personality. It precedes and predicts your performance in almost everything you do. It is the energy source or the reactor core of your personality, and how much self-esteem you have determines your levels of vitality, enthusiasm and personal magnetism.
