A practical Guide for Self Development 
Many myths and misunderstandings surround self-esteem. So let's begin by clearly understanding where we are going in this guide.
Self-esteem is a realistic,
appreciative opinion
of oneself.
Realistic means we are dealing in the truth, being accurately and honestly aware of our strengths, weaknesses, and everything in between.
Appreciative, however, suggests that we have good feelings overall about the person we see.
Think of a friend who knows you well and cherishes you, recognizing that there is more to you than your faults, and you'll get a sense of what appreciative means.
Wholesome self-esteem is the conviction that one is as worthwhile as anyone else, but not more so.
On one hand, we feel a quiet gladness to be who we are and a sense of dignity that comes from realizing that we share what all humans possess—intrinsic worth.
On the other hand, those with self-esteem remain humble, realizing that everyone has much to learn and that we are all really in the same boat.
There is no need to be arrogant or boastful, no need to think that we are more worthwhile as a person than others or more skilled or important than we really are.
One who feels whole and secure in him- or herself is freer to be selfless.
Can a criminal have high self-esteem?
I suppose it is theoretically possible. However, a recent study found that aggressive, rebellious children were more likely to have been bullied; feel rejected, unhappy, and unloved; and have a poor self-image than less aggressive children.
So it is important to distinguish the outer appearance of confidence from the quiet, steady, inner gladness that characterizes self-esteem.
