Ben 

Michael Jackson  

Ben, the two of us need look no more

We both found what we were looking for 

with a friend to call my own

I will never be alone  

And you, my friend, will see  

you have got a friend in me

Ben, you are always running here and there

You feel you are not wanted anywhere

If you ever look behind and don’t like what you will find

There’s something you should know

You have got a place to go

I used to say “I” and “Me”

Now it’s us, now it’s we

Ben, most people would turn you away...

The best way to boost self-esteem 

Working hard to accomplish great things is a healthy way to pump your ego? Not necessarily, according to researchers at the University of Michigan. In their survey of 642 college freshmen, those who measured their self-worth against objective standards, such as getting good grades, were actually more stressed - and received no higher marks - than those who based how they felt themselves of their relationships with others. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t work hard; just don’t make it all about you. “Instead of focusing on whether you’re succeeding, ask yourself, ‘What am I contributing to society? How will people benefit from what I’m doing?’” suggests lead researcher Jennifer Crocker, Ph.D. “This takes the pressure off you and guarantees that your work will always feel meaningful.” 

From the book Inglês Doorway, Wilson Liberato.
