Self Esteem leading to ...

Early early morning trip to school again for the lesson on Understanding Relationship: Love and Sex. Only did I know today, that the module is about Love and Sex, I always thought that the module is just on understanding relationship on general terms.

So today's first major activity (which I guessed correctly) was Speed Dating. We had a round to try and feel how it is like to get to know the lady or gentleman within the time frame of 3 minutes. I tried my best to talk as much as possible, relating topics to school matters as well as friends that we know. However, it didn't really help much. 10 ladies and 10 gentleman (including me) were involved. Each will rate the other person from the scale of 1 to 10, whereby 1 representing totally hopeless and 10 representing "hot stuff"!! Well, I'm glad most girls are kind of lenient to me giving me at least 6 and above. SO I've got 82/100 which is a surprise to me. For those who know me, I seldom talk and speed dating is like the worst ever kind of dating for me. I will be totally shy and quiet.

Well, next up, we saw a documentary on the science of attraction, whereby scientists around the world try to predict how couples are matched or attracted to each other base on science. This includes, facial expression, dressing, perception and stuff like this, to predict if both strangers will be attracted to each other during the speed dating programme. Well their theory obvious failed as the participants' reaction and results were not as per predicted by the scientist. However, one fact stays. Guys likes to go after woman with a decent amount of 'busty-ness' and a lower hip to waist ratio. Apparently, a woman who has a lower hip to waist ratio is said to be more fertile.

Next, we continued watching the movie 'Before Sunrise' again. It's really an interesting show!

Well, the lesson of today shows that 'Self-esteem leads either to achievements or relationship.' And most of the time, in order to have great achievement in this World, relationships are often neglected. It's like a trade-off between the two. However, I find it ideal to balance both to satisfy your self-esteem on achievements as well as on relationship. Achievements makes you feel good that you are able to do things and people will look up to you, however relationship gives you that comfort, security and love that makes you feel love by someone. Sadly for me, I suck at both. Achievements wise, I am only average, relationships wise, needless to say a dozen times...

I just pray that the Father will lead me the way to achieve in His name and have a healthy and fruitful relationship with the one I love. Time to be spiritually high on my self-esteem.

Yes, I'm smart
Yes, I'm good looking and favoured by others
Yes, I'm able to do things to glory Him
Yes, I can do IT!
