Fresh SSB batches start around the 1st & 15th of every month.

“True power is not in showing strength over others, but in being strong within yourself.”

1. Defining the Balance: Self-Esteem vs Ego

• Self-esteem is rooted in self-respect: “I have worth, I can improve, I deserve respect.”
• Fuels growth, helps learn from criticism, and appreciates others’ strengths without threat.
• Ego is built on comparison: “I’m better than others. I already know everything.”
• Ego stops learning, blinds self-awareness, and builds walls around personality.
• Self-esteem leads to progress; ego leads to stagnation.
• Humility strengthens presence and makes it powerful.

2. Maintaining Self-Esteem Without Ego

• Know Your Worth, Not Your Superiority: Respect uniqueness, carry quiet confidence not arrogance.
• Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection: Gratitude after success keeps pride away and learning alive.
• Practice Humble Curiosity: Stay curious, ask questions, seek feedback, embrace lifelong learning.
• Reflect Regularly: Daily reflection on pride vs purpose, valuing opinions, and personal growth.

3. Commanding Power with Simplicity

• True power is silent — calm words, controlled actions, consistency.
• Stand firm without showing off; simplicity multiplies strength.
• Speak clearly, dress neatly, act sincerely.
• Humble leaders earn respect through actions, not demands.
• People follow those approachable and genuine, not superior.

4. Practical Techniques for Daily Life

• Communication: Express, don’t impress; use calm tone; collaborative language; listen genuinely.
• Body Language: Upright posture, relaxed shoulders, natural smile, steady movements, confident eye contact.
• Group Interactions: Value input, share credit, correct with kindness, invite participation.
• Boundaries & Respect: Say “no” gracefully when needed; polite firmness shows maturity and control.

5. The Spirit Behind the Practice

• Inspires others by example.
• Leads with integrity, not intimidation.
• Admits mistakes openly and corrects quickly.
• Helps others rise instead of keeping them down.
• Remains a student even while leading.
• Commands admiration, not fear; humility builds trust, strength builds dependability.
