           Many times, you are uncertain about what is good
           for you. You just go from one action to another,
           many of your actions are directly a result of pleasing
           others.                           
          
           If you continue this way, you won’t know that YOU
           really want and what is good for YOU. You will simply
           be mimicking others and becoming clones of your
           culture. Do you really want that?
          
           In order to live self-assertively, you should try to
           do what is good for you, i.e., what you want to do and
           what is cohesive with your beliefs and values, and
           stick to these, regardless of what anyone else says
           or does.
          
           In short, you should assert your beliefs and
           values, regardless of what your peers think of them.
           This habit, over time, will give you the confidence
           that you need to keep asserting your values and what
           you truly believe in.
          
           Whose life would you like to live? Yours? Or
           someone else’s?
