The basic understanding of this intercourse is that success is better than failure.

Success is a positive result of guided process or an action – guided by purpose and target.

Success begins by building self esteem – how much do you believe in yourself, love yourself and regard yourself? Do you see yourself as worthy and capableOnly then can you put your best foot forward.Self esteem breeds confidence.Caution: overconfidence is risky at times. Let us talk about “confidence”.

Self esteem makes us “think big”Self esteem makes us regard ourselves as divinely special- there is no substitute for me.Self esteem makes us positive- yes I can.Self esteem makes us acquire and share knowledge like a garden if it is not cultivated, it cannot be harvested.Once acquired, knowledge should be shared it must never be horded.

“listen ,there is no courage or any extra courage that I know of to find out the right thing to do.Now, it is not only necessary to do the right thing, but to do it in the right way and the only problem you have is what is the right thing to do and what is the right way to do it” Dwight David Eisenhower 1890-1969

Define “ the right” for yourselfChart the “right way” for yourself

“ I would have made a good Pope” Richard .M. Nixon.

From this quote one would ask “what then happened”
