Self-Value

I hear girls everyday talk about other girls, admiring their clothes or talking bad about their clothing or maybe just the way they are. What they don't really see is that is not them who look wrong is themselves. What this quotation is trying to say is, how do others judge people so mean when they are not even close to being perfect? How can you say you love someone if you can't even love yourself? How is it that you see everyone else above you if at the end is you that matters? How do you go by everyday without finding the value of yourself? These questions come to my mind as I read this quotation. Yes, is true nobody is perfect but that does not mean you are less than someone else, or someone is better than you. If you go thinking every single day "she looks better than me!" "they like her more" or "I wish i can be like her" is only making you feel with less value and you are very wrong. More than doubting yourself is jealousy. Jealousy does not take you any where, you don't get prettier by wishing to be like someone else, you don't get richer by wishing what others have, in other words god made us all different individuals you want to have more then you work for it! you want to be a better person? than you see what is to do and you work your way up there. For example, the way I think of this is by Obama's point in his speech weeks ago over at school in Chicago. He said something that I really can't forget about and is about students admiring their friends instead of being jealous of them. He made a point about if your friends have better grades you feel proud of them and see what they are doing that you're not so you can fix things and be a better student. You don't seat there and feel like they are smarter than you, is just that they are doing things you're probably not. This quotation also makes me think about how girls and boys at schools make mistakes to try to be someone they are not because to them others are better than them and they don't let others see who they really are. The after all feeling I get is jealousy will never take you far and is pretty much up to you if you want to see and show your value or seat there wishing you were someone else, someone that to you is better than you. But don't get the wrong message there is nothing wrong with admiring someone, someone you look up to, but that is really different from jealousy, but is really sad to find out there's people who still seat there and never find their own value but is more than what they thought.
