How do you feel? Or, how do you let other people let you feel?

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

I really like this line. Especially for those who work in a company that are not allowed to excel.  Some times we are faced with a boss that does not want us to succeed. Or what if you have to work with a team who is not supportive?  These things can lead to the feeling of inferiority. But the funny thing is, that this only occurs when we are not confident or comfortable with ourselves.  We need to practice confidence and then do it with exuberance. You can always continue to know more and be confident in your ideas by putting in a little extra work. If you do these things it certainly translates to the way you speak, or carry yourself, or are viewed by your peers.  I say know what you mean and what you think, if you don't know admit it and then try to learn. People will see you strive for excellence and will strive to help you and strive themselves. So I say if you feel inferior ask yourself what you can do to change it don't just wait for those people to leave you alone.  And if you are someone that is making others feel that way, then become a mentor.

If someone is trying to make you feel inferior, then they probably feel that way themselves and need a leader to help them as well.
