Self-Esteem is Our Self-Concept
There is a story about a farmer who planted pumpkins on his land. For no reason, he put
a small pumpkin, hanging by the vine into a glass jar.
At harvest time, he saw that the pumpkin had grown, equivalent only to the shape and
size of the jar. Just as the pumpkin could not grow beyond the boundaries restricting it,
human beings cannot perform beyond the boundaries of their self-concept, whatever it
may be.
