Every year we get to hear, read or watch news about “another” celebrity couple who had just called it quits in their marriage. Divorce is fast becoming an official fad in the Hollywood community. I don’t really care about these couple but it is just strange how we look up to these people and realize that they aren’t living a fairytale after all. I guess we have to bring an end to a candy-coated perception and experience raw reality.
I can enumerate ways that to lose one’s sense of self esteem. With the environment that we have, our confidence is always in danger. Hence, we should be on the look out to keep our sense of self secured.

2. Know your values One technique is to determine what you value most? To make it easier for you to decide, you may jot down what you value and arrange them according to your priority.
