I love the fable. It sure is good to know that perhaps I have not gone to the jeweler yet. Even better is Dr. Martina’s thought on this that always relying on another person, notwithstanding the expertise, to tell us our worth isn’t so good. Isn’t it best that we be our own jewelers?

It’s all about not mistreating oneself in our opinion. Low self esteem leads potentially to other non desirable situations such as jealousy, malice etc…But on the other hand, how can we “teach” people to accept ‘failures’ or ‘rejections’ while not impacting the mental state?
Always tricky, right? Luckily, life is a journey and it is but normal to learn as we go; the beauty of life, actually. Otherwise, it will be boring, right?
