I have never read a self-self book that gave me one bit of useful information. I don't lack self-confidence. I don't feel inadequte. I am highly disciplined. I don't have a problem with my looks or my body. I don't have an issue with learning new things. I have never compared myself with other people. I get up early. I sleep a full nigh's sleep. i don't drink alcohol. I have never taken drugs or been drunk. Iread a book a day. In fact, I read for at least 5 hours a day. I don't have trouble writing.
All I wanted was a job where people didn't bitch, whee people didn't bully me, whee I didn't get sexually harassed, and wheere I earned enough to pay for the basics. I never found one.
