Probably no-one has escaped asking him/herself, "Am I good enough? Am I smart enough?". Different circumstances or situations define your thoughts and beliefs. The input given to you by your parents, teachers, social / religious / political environment, i.e. the "education" you received since a very early age has definitely influenced not only what you think about the world and people in general, but also - and mainly - what you think about yourself. You tend to judge your skills and capabilities making reference to a set of outside models that may not reflect your true 'self'. As a consequence, you keep comparing yourself to the "models" that are repeatedly shoved under your eyes. If you believe you are not up to them, your self-esteem plummets, your self-worth plunges. Not a pretty feeling. And not a truthful one.
