Excerpt from the Book
Typology of Self esteem
There are two types of self-esteem that are high and low esteem. High self esteem is the result of self quality images and if teachers have a high level of self esteem will be confident, happy, highly motivated and most important have the right attitude to succeed. On the other hand, low esteem emanate from unfavourable self image that lead to poor confidence and negative attitudes towards working and makes them believe negative comments as a results they lose confidence and give-up easily rather than facing challenges accordingly (Johns, 2007 p.79). Thus, self esteem is crucial and cornerstone of a positive attitude towards working better, as it affects how we think, act and even how we relate to other people.
