ELEANOR ROOSEVELT QUOTE

- No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Eleanor Roosevelt

- What it entails:
-- Criticism can only affect you negatively if you allow it
-- Your self-esteem has more power over your self-image than the criticism of other people

-- It serves as reminder to be confident in everything I do
-- To not worry about people judging me or my decisions
-- Ignore insults
-- Keep trying my best even when people expect me to fail
-- Not taking criticism too personally
- Why is it a good quote to live by?
-- It helps you keep a positive attitude, even when youre surrounded by negativity
- Application to ROTC
-- When POCs are yelling at you during FTP
-- Upon receiving a critique on your approach to leadership
