Last night I heard R. Pliskin speak about his new book, Building Your Self-Image. He told a story about someone who thought he was stupid because, in comparison with his brother who was a creative genius, he felt stupid. Everything is relative. However, upon further discussion this fellow revealed that he was a math major and graduated with an award that only 1 in 800 received. Yet, he thought of himself as stupid.
The lesson is to be objective about oneself. People should not be self-demeaning. Each person has his own gifts that should help provide self-esteem.
