Michael E. Parker VS Oprah Round #2

Amy/Jean/Oprah's Team Says:

2. Realize your self-worth. The first step toward making any real changes in your life is recognizing your value as a person—imperfections and all. "Accept who you are, be grateful for who you are and then fall in love with the core of who you are," she says.

CEO SAYS:

You must first regard yourself as an asset and a positive contributor to a variety of environments and communities by displaying your abilities and competence, which deals with your concept of self. However, you must always maintain an attitude of thankfulness and a mind for continual self-improvements with out losing your self-respect. If you have self-esteem, you will know how to respect yourself as well as respect for others.

There are 3 basic types of respect: Given (for those in authority), Earned (based on personal experiences, General (general respect for all humanity). Once you understand the three basic types of respect you can become sensitive to the needs, feelings, achievements and responsibilities of others while never losing sight of your own needs, feeling, and capacity to achieve because of who you are and what you stand for.

So who has won this challenge? Who's advice do you prefer and why? They are both great but what rings a bell for you and why?
