What is Self-Esteem?
Self-esteem is the evaluation of self on a scale that can range from negative to positive. It is usually a perception that is based upon feedbacks one receives from other important people in his life, as well as his own thoughts about himself. People with a high self-esteem are those who have a high self-worth. On the other hand, people with a low self-esteem have a low self-worth. If you are confident about yourself, it reflects in your attitude and others gain a perception that you have a high self-esteem. In other words, self-esteem can be equated with regard or respect one has for him. For example, a person may have a low self-esteem about his physical attractiveness if he does not perceive himself as beautiful or attractive. However, the same person may have a high self-esteem for himself if he is given a task to perform because of his belief in his own ability. Low self-esteem is often characterized by feelings of inferiority, anxiety, and unhappiness. A person with low self-esteem is often impatient and gets irritated with things and others. Negativity is another important characteristic of people with low self-esteem.
It's all about finding yourself and learning to live with yourself, aside from any other opinions! Love yourself and everything will go on it's well worn patch from there, mistakes will be lessons, successes will be things to rejoice and experiences will be felt at it's fullest, one way or another.
I don't know, I don't have any big regrets or mistakes. I have embarrassing moments (do I ever), but I can't identify any big regrets or things I wish I could do differently.
One time I laundered $700 (literally, in the washing machine) but it came out unscathed. For a moment I thought I had made a horrible mistake!
I'm sure I'll have some more to report on once I'm finished with college, though

"What if's" that run through my head? All the time.
Regrets? Not so much.
I interviewed with a NASA contractor right before the shuttles were grounded for electrical problems about 2000. That job evaporated, but I still wonder.
I wonder what would have happened if I had been more open to dating while in college.
I passed on two job interviews in the last year.
I was fired at one point in my career. I suppose I could have kept that from happening - but it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me!
I look at my life, my wife, my job, my home...I get a sense that I am right where I am supposed to be.

Biggest mistake: leaving a Buddhist monastic practice at the request of my father, because his best friend/business partner died of cancer, and he said he needed my help running his winery. Within a couple of years, the winery was sold, but my life was put on a trajectory that took me away from formal practice.
