Self-love is the most important if you want to find out your full potentials(潜质) on earth. Accepting who you are makes you feel that you are good enough.

So,73you need to believe in yourself instead of caring what people think of you.Be sure you are doing it for yourself, not for someone else. Just make efforts to improve yourselfand thenyou are sure to become the best you can be, or a better version(版本) of yourself.
What should we do when someone is stuck(深陷)in the ocean of not feeling good enough? Here are some suggestions to help. First, be a good listener. Listening to someone will not only make them feel they are worthy but also make you know better what they are going through. Then you will get the idea of how to cheer them.
