"I like me. .. Whn I fall down I pick myself up."
It amazed me when I got this book. I asked many fellow students to read the dang thing so my 100th read would be delayed. It is a sweet book. But many people almost cannot read aloud this core self-affirmation. Esp because grad students must be fairly good at picking themselves up.
