When we feel good about our achievements, we tend to value and feel good about ourselves. Self-esteem, our positive or negative evaluation of our self-concept, is important because it can either nurture and feed success or make succeeding more difficult. We build self-esteem when we exhibit determination to overcome obstacles, acquire specific skills or achievements, or are given increased responsibilities. Feeling good about the self and what we are capable of contributes to our performing well.

We carry our self-esteem with us from one interpersonal experience to another. What is more, we relay our level of self-esteem to others by how we interact with them.
