The Importance of Self-Esteem

High Self-esteem does not actually correlate with ability, right? So you could have two people with the exact same capability level. But one person who has high Self-esteem will keep going until they master that task. Whereas the other person with low Self- esteem will give up before they've even given themselves the proper chance to see if they can do it. And another way that this trait of resilience can manifest is that a person who has low Self-esteem may not even want to try at all.
