I recognize that in the adult world there is no, "everybody gets a trophy day". In fact, to get to where you want to be int he world, you have to believe in yourself and have respect for your own abilities. That is true high self esteem.

I think there are limits though, Poppin. Sure there's "I am a great person" high self-esteem, but what happens when it goes to the extreme? The extreme of it could potentially lead them to believe that everyone else (or nearly everyone else) is a part of a human stain; completely worthless, except to further their own goals.
