Stay positive, study, and you'll do well and get the job your trying to get!
I don't think I've ever had self-esteem. And you know (the collective you) that people are comparing me to themselves and others. That's just human nature and the nature of the business I'm in. I mean, you can't even get a job if you're not better than everyone else in some way. So if you or I don't compare ourselves to other people, how are we going to know how to get where we want to be.
