The second step is acceptance." "There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity." "Productive achievement is a consequence and an expression of health and self-esteem, not its cause."

Kennedy "You know, I think we Indians are afraid to show and celebrate our happiness, lest things change around. But I feel that it’s okay to be sad and okay to show when you are happy."― Shahrukh Khan "I don’t believe that in our society that we should have guns."― Ed Koch
