The mentor activity got me thinking.
Outside of your mom, who is the most influential woman in your life?
Blessed Mommy to: Angel Baby : 07/08/08 Alexander Jayce:05/21/09 Kalea Brielle: 06/03/10 Michael Zachary 09/22/11 Angel Baby: 07/02/12
My mentor's name was Mrs B. She was my high school debate coach. She gave me my love for teaching and critical thinking skills, she helped me set up my own debate club after highschool, and has mentored me. She was a fantastic example of a godly wife, mother and leader.
Definitely the biggest impact on my life.
Ayn Rand. I wouldn't be who I am today without her.
No value is higher than self-esteem, but you’ve invested it in counterfeit securities—and now your morality has caught you in a trap where you are forced to protect your self-esteem by fighting for the creed of self-destruction. The grim joke is on you: that need of self-esteem, which you’re unable to explain or to define, belongs to my morality, not yours; it’s the objective token of my code, it is my proof within your own soul.
Self-esteem is reliance on one’s power to think. It cannot be replaced by one’s power to deceive. The self-confidence of a scientist and the self-confidence of a con man are not interchangeable states, and do not come from the same psychological universe. The success of a man who deals with reality augments his self-confidence. The success of a con man augments his panic.
Well, I really didn't have any female roles when growing up. I was also too busy being everybody else's role model. I didn't like that I was an afterthough, so I always strived to be that "awesome" daughter/friend to everyone. But no, no-one was ever like that for me. Being there for your child(ren) is so important. Making sure that you are there, even if the mistakes are terrible! Your child(ren) need(s) to know that you love them no matter what. Even if they've made the worst mistake possible. :) or not.
