cooking, repairing broken
things, listening to

SELF - CONFIDENCE
As you learn different things and develop your talents and
abilities, you must also find ways to overcome your
weaknesses. Enhancing your abilities, talents, and skills
is very important to gain self- confidence. This value is
about balance.

stretching yourself; and you might not try at all.
And if you are overconfident, you may take on too much
risk, stretch yourself beyond capabilities, and crash
badly.
