Self-evaluation is opinion about ourselves. If a person has low self-evaluation, it means that he considers himself unsuccessful. Self-evaluation looks like a process when you look into the mirror and feel satisfaction. But it is not so, we must know our strengths and weaknesses. Only after it we will manage to rule our resources and possibilities. Low self-evaluation is a result of miscalculation and vice versa.
