Sefl-Respect

Jeanine, yes, we pursue studies because we respect ourselves. We know we can do it; if we do not, we miss ourselves. We become the singer who never sang, the dancer who never danced, the sailor who never sailed, etc. Socrates taught: Know Thyself. To this, your humble servant adds: respect yourself and develop yourself. Or as Abraham Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs" puts it, we need to self-actualize to complete our human potential. Yes, do not let yourself down.
