Your fifth grade teacher, believe it or not, was also playing a divine role (perhaps without realizing it) to force the confused students to think on their feet and become more confident in the process b/c otherwise they might never have had the chance to test their courage. It works both ways. Interesting perspective, isnt' it? Cheers! Lina, they can and do have a role in boosting other people’s self-esteem.

I think teachers and other authority figures really play a role in boosting your self-esteem. I remember my fifth grade teacher,who did the complete opposite. She liked calling on students who seemed to look confused to answer, and if they couldn't, she would make them stand for the whole duration of the lecture. I think that pretty much cemented my hatred of mathematics... Aww, this article is s cute! I think teachers and other authority figures really play a role in boosting your self-esteem.

It stirs in me similar feelings from when I read Napoleon Hill's story of his son, born without ears. Desire and FAITH. She had faith in you; and helped you instil it in yourself. "...desire backed by faith, because I have seen this power lift men from lowly beginnings to places of power..." Napoleon Hill What compulsive reading this is!

It happens when you see things from a cosmic perspective and realize that everything happens for a reason. I've had teachers like Mrs. Jordan help me realize I could do what I set my mind to and I've also had people criticize and put me down. I've learned not to allow that to happen to me anymore because I made a firm decision that I would learn from these lessons and move on. I've also had to learn to love myself first. Now that I accept myself, others can't help but accept me as well. I'm also learning to release years of repressed emotions that no longer serve me. It's a lot of work but oh so worth it.

Actually, i'm jealous of your teacher. Such a radiant cheerful charming woman.. Only a woman like that can make someone feel good. I actually feel bad about myself, and then when my spouse critiqued some people like me, and praised another people, i quickly made him feel wrong. i knew it was me who was wrong, but i couldn't hold myself from hurting back.. and i made wrong things over and over again.. congratulations, for both you and your teacher. i envy both of you. wow i almost cried when i read your story.

It's amazing how the small things like this can have such a big impact on our lives. I've always felt that the saying "sticks and stones can break your bones but words can never hurt you" is definitely not true. Words can have a huge impact on your life, whether they are negative or positive. In this case they were positive which is great. Thanks for the lovely story. All the best, Bill Jenkins Webmaster, LearnHowToBuildADogHouse.com Thanks for the great post.
