　　晨讀英語美文100篇: Self-Esteem

　　Self-esteem is the combination of self-confidence and self-respect—the conviction that you are competent to cope with life's challenges and are worthy of happiness. Self-esteem is the way you talk to yourself about yourself. Self-esteem has two interrelated aspects; it entails a sense of personal efficacy and a sense of personal worth.It is the integrated sum of self-confidence and self-respect. It is the conviction that one is competent to live and worthy of living.

　　Our self-esteem and self-image are developed by how we talk to ourselves. All of us have conscious and unconscious memories of all the times we felt bad or wrong—they are part of the unavoidable scars of childhood. This is where the critical voice gets started. Everyone has a critical inner voice. People with low self-esteem simply have a more vicious and demeaning inner voice.

　　Psychologists say that almost every aspect of our lives—our personal happiness, success, relationships with others, achievement, creativity, dependencies—are dependent on our level of self-esteem. The more we have, the better we deal with things.

　　Positive self-esteem is important because when people experience it, they feel good and look good, they are effective and productive, and they respond to other people and themselves in healthy, positive, growing ways. People who have positive self-esteem know that they are lovable and capable, and they care about themselves and other people. They do not have to build themselves up by tearing other people down or by patronizing less competent people.

　　Our background largely determines what we will become in personality and more importantly in self-esteem. Where do feelings of worthlessness come from? Many come from our families, since more than 80% of our waking hours up to the age of eighteen are spent under their direct influence. We are who we are because of where we've been. We build our own brands of self-esteem from four ingredients: fate, the positive things life offers, the negative things life offers and our own decisions about how to respond to fate, the positives and the negatives. Neither fate nor decisions can be determined by other people in our own life. No one can change fate. We can control our thinking and therefore our decisions in life.

　　參考譯文：

　　自尊是自信和自重的綜合體，是一個(gè)人深信自己能應(yīng)付生活的挑戰(zhàn)，確信自己有資格享有幸福人生。自尊就是自己如何評(píng)價(jià)自己。

　　自尊包括兩個(gè)相互關(guān)聯(lián)的部分：它源自對(duì)個(gè)人能力和價(jià)值的認(rèn)識(shí)。說到底就是自信和自重的集合體。自尊即是應(yīng)對(duì)生活挑戰(zhàn)的信心以及自身存在價(jià)值的認(rèn)同。

　　我們的自尊和自我形象取決于對(duì)自我的評(píng)價(jià)。對(duì)于所有感覺糟糕或難受的時(shí)刻，我們每一個(gè)人，有意識(shí)的或無意識(shí)的，都會(huì)記得，這其中還包括童年生活留下的不可避免的傷痕。自我批判的聲音就是從這里開始產(chǎn)生的。每一個(gè)人的內(nèi)心都會(huì)有這個(gè)自我批評(píng)的聲音，而自尊心弱的人僅僅是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)內(nèi)心的聲音更多的是一種惡性的、自我貶低的聲音而已。

　　心理學(xué)家們認(rèn)為，個(gè)人的幸福感、成功、與他人的關(guān)系、成就、創(chuàng)造力、依賴性，包括我們生活的所有方面都取決于我們不同程度的自尊。自尊意識(shí)越強(qiáng)，我們就能更好地處理事務(wù)。感受到這種積極的自尊是相當(dāng)重要的，擁有積極的自尊使自己感覺良好，并給別人良好的印象，工作效率提高，更加卓有成效;并且總是以一種健康、積極和發(fā)展的態(tài)度回應(yīng)自己或是別人。擁有積極的自尊的人清楚自己受人喜愛，清楚自己能力很強(qiáng)，他們既關(guān)心自己也關(guān)心別人。他們也不需要通過詆毀比人或?qū)δ芰Σ蝗缱约旱娜藬[出一副神氣活現(xiàn)的樣子來建立自己所謂的地位。

　　我們的經(jīng)歷在很大程度上決定了本人的個(gè)性，而其中最重要的部分是自尊。那么這種無用的自我感覺是從何而來的呢?其實(shí)大多是來自我們的家庭，應(yīng)為在我們18歲之前，我們清醒著的時(shí)間80%以上都在家中度過，置身于家庭的直接影響之下。我們的出生決定了我們將會(huì)成為哪一種人。我們獨(dú)有的自尊由兩個(gè)不同的方面形成：命運(yùn)，包括生活中遇到的機(jī)遇和挫折;以及我們決定如何應(yīng)對(duì)命運(yùn)，當(dāng)然也包括機(jī)遇和挫折。在我們生活中，其他人既不能控制我們的命運(yùn)，也不能改變我們的決定。沒有人可以改變命運(yùn)。但是在我們的一生中，我們能控制我們的思想從而控制自己的決定。
