Self-Respect - School of Life

 Today, in the "School of Life" column, I’m going to reveal what self-respect really means and how to recognize it in practice. This isn’t some theory from a book, but that moment when you silence everyone because you know your own worth. On Monday, I finally snapped at the Employment Agency, and right there I realized that my self-respect is my greatest strength—the advantage that puts me one step ahead of the system.

You recognize self-respect when you refuse to let yourself be humiliated by a system that fell asleep in the last century. My counselor tried to convince me that my certificates and diplomas from Alison.com are worthless because they don’t have our ministry’s stamp. But you know what the trick is? Their papers are only valid in Slovenia, while I’m paving my way to the international market. My certificates and diplomas are validated by Google, Microsoft, and the United Nations. Who’s the one here without the real knowledge now?

She gave me some questions for kids to “test” me. I answered them in less than 24 hours—and not as someone just playing around, but as a real entrepreneur. I used artificial intelligence and my own knowledge to include technical English terms that the system doesn’t even understand. Since she didn’t take me seriously, she gave me an entrepreneurship readiness test, convinced that I’d fail and accept a job that might suit me otherwise, but would never fulfill my goals and desires.

And what happened? The results shut her up. I achieved top scores in all 5 categories! My vision score is 40/40, and my risk-taking score is 33/40, which is excellent for an entrepreneur, since everyone needs to know that risks exist. When she asked me for the results, I proudly sent them to her. Let her say now that I’m not ready! While she underestimates me, I’ve used artificial intelligence to analyze the entire Shark Tank show. I tested myself in the role of an entrepreneur and in the role of a strict panel—I aced both roles.

I know I’m ready because this blog you’re reading is breaking records! In March, I hit 200,000 views, and 15,000 in just one month! I’ve already navigated the hardest part of the journey on my own. That’s why my sole proprietorship is inevitable within a year—as soon as I sort out this ridiculous bureaucracy. I won’t wait for the system to “allow” me to move forward; I’m the one who’s long since outpaced their slow-moving bureaucracy.

If you want to learn something concrete and save a ton of money, take advantage of this opportunity. On Alison.com, certificates cost around €13, and diplomas around €50. But here’s where it gets interesting: if you use my link to sign up, you can share your own link with others. Once at least 3 people purchase a certificate through your link, you’ll get a 50% discount on yours! And when 25 people buy through your link, you’ll get a 50% discount on your diploma too.

I’ve taken 3 tarot courses there (including 2 certificates and a diploma) and 3 reiki courses (also 2 certificates and a diploma). For the Reiki courses, I would have paid €1,600 elsewhere, including the master’s exam, but here I only spent around €80. That’s a once-in-a-lifetime savings! So share your link, help others gain knowledge, and lower your costs at the same time. By using my link, you’re also helping me afford my next certifications and continue creating content for you. Hurry before the terms change!

You recognize self-respect when you stop waiting for others’ permission to succeed. I won my battle at the agency and showed them that I’m too fast for their outdated system. Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re not ready—only you know what fire you carry within you.

Hugs, Eva
