When life's hard punches come our way, we ought to punch back. Refuse to be defeated. We all have reserved strength hidden within. Tap yours when you are faced with difficulties. Do not despair; do not give up. Find out who you are and mwhat you can do. You must struggle to restore your prestige and dignity. Surpass negative influences; learn to soar above them. We should remind ourselves that we can do anything through Christ, our strength. Critics should be ignored. One ought to set a standard for oneself with regard to what one needs and how one wishes to be treated. In other words, we should determine what we can or cannot accept. And once we have so determined, we must maintain a principle that would not allow any one to treat us as less than our preferred ideal. Taking anything less than one's ideal diminishes one's self-esteem and ego.
