A good and reasonable post Simon
I intend to please many of you by stating " this is my last posting on this subject and possibly any other subject on here I'm well aware that I get up a few noses, but never maliciously and I only ever attempt to offer an alternative view or address the balance when I feel untruths or exagerations or just plain stupidity is posted, which is quite often "
Back to Simon's post
Some, in fact many people, have no understanding of the concept of "Worth " just as some have no concept of " value for money "
Many will go through their entire lives undervaluing themselves, just getting on with it, it's a shame, particularly when many are giants among their fellow man, in their contributions to their profession, trade, or just their workplace. But it's the way it is.
They may cry themselves to sleep at night, or develop ulcers, from inner frustration, but nobody notices and those who benefit just take them for granted.
Natures " pecking order " controls all of us and the vast majority slot into their box, without realising it and go through life blissfully unaware or unconcerned about how others see them.
Then there are the Mavericks who " do it their way " They can be spectacularly successful, some have huge successes and equally huge failures.
Helping people along the way is admirable and positive, but everyone has their level and I just feel it's unfair to offer false expectation.
Motivation, yes, but reduce the size of the carrot, stop offering unattainable dreams to people who will never achieve them, realism is moderation.
Be Happy
