The Winter Olympics and Building Self-Confidence

I was watching the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics on the TV this weekend. The commentators were comparing it to the Olympic Games in China and saying how much better it was to have fewer performers. What I thought was more important to notice was the celebration of the diverse cultures that make Canada such a great country to live in. Where there is acceptance and appreciation it creates an atmosphere which can bring out the best in us all.

How is this relevant to building individual self-confidence? Well, what are things about you that you find hard to accept? Could they be considered strengths by others? What goes around comes around. What could you be more accepting of in others and appreciate as a strength that would create an atmosphere where they would be more willing to see the strengths in you.
