How do you define yourself? Is it by your possessions, accomplishments, or the way others perceive you? Do you  see yourself according to what I do? I am a student, friend, teacher, mother, etc. Do you define yourself by what you achieve?

Recently, a young reader asked this question, “People seem to talk and chat so easily, but I don’t. People think I am shy, or don’t care about what they are saying, but that’s not the reason.
