How much do you worth?

You are what you think you are. This old age wisdom couldn't be much truer. And I would like to improvise, you are how much you think you worth.

I am not talking worthy in the sense of dollar and cents because then you would be blaring out that your dignity is so priceless that it cannot be matched by anything else in the world. I am talking about the way you bring up yourself in various situations.

Say for example, you are being interviewed and are asked on your expected salary, how would you reply? Grinning sheepishly and mumbling under your breath a figure? Then might as well you write in bold capital letter in your forehead 'I WANT XXX AMOUNT BUT I DON'T THINK I AM WORTH IT!'

Similar situations such as when you are increasing the rental for your condominium, when you are applying for a bank loan, when you are charging your consultancy fee to your clients, when you are presenting your idea across the board, when you are proposing to your fiance, etc; How do you response? Is your eyes staring at your shoes trying to catch a reflection of your pity self or do your face brims with such pride of ownership knowing deep down that you are delivering a value across?

Most normal executive class working people in Malaysia didn't carry this sense of pride and worthiness in them. When their clients voice out something, they dare not voice out their opinion. Heck, they are even scared to call up their clients when issues arises and work with them together to find a solutions.

All because they think they are not worthy enough. Deep down.
