"It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle." - Sun Tzu
Self-concept is the image a person has of themselves.[1] Self-concept is related to self-awareness. Self-awareness is conscious knowledge of one's own character, personality, feelings, motives, and desires. Know thyself is an ancient and well-accepted philosophical maxim which was inscribed upon the Temple of Apollo in the ancient Greek precinct of Delphi.
According to Study.com: "There are several agreed-upon characteristics of the self-concept. They include self- image (how we see ourselves including physical and cognitive evaluations), ideal-self (the person we would like to be or become), and self-worth (this is also known as self-esteem and it is formed by interactions with others)."[2] As far as self-worth, Christians and Jews believe that mankind was made in image of God (Genesis 1:27) and they believe in the fall of man).[3] Furthermore, Christians also believe that once one becomes a Christian, they are a new creation in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).[4][5]
