Which option shows a mature balance between self-esteem and accepting improvement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Accepting a mistake while understanding one's worth and improving
Healthy self-esteem separates a person’s basic worth from performance on one task. A student can acknowledge an error, accept useful feedback, and improve without concluding that they are worthless or incapable. Treating every suggestion as an insult or looking down on others is defensive, while self-condemnation is equally unhealthy.
