ABOUT ME

(MY INTERVIEW WITH ME)

Hi, there. My name is Zoltan Roth. I am the creator and owner of this website. Below you can read my interview with me, to better understand where I come from and what the purpose is to give birth to my baby: www.selfesteem2go.com.To make it more readable I will use the letter “I “to symbolize the interviewer, which is me and the character ”Z” will stand for Zoltan who would be me as well. Confusing isn’t it?

(Z): I am from Hungary a tiny, but friendly country in the middle of Europe. Have you been there?

(I): Many times he-he-he. So, what brought you here?

(Z): I think that was the mutual effort of challenge and the airplane.

(I): Tell me something about your background.

(Z): I have graduated as a teacher back in Hungary in the early 90’s. Among other curriculums we learned psychology, sociology, anatomy, philosophy and political science too. I have always been interested in people. Anything related to their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual state of mind got my attention. Especially kids, my all time favorites. I was fortunate enough to spend an unforgettable 4-5 months among those 4-5 year old little creatures and made my diploma work about their balance ability development. I have been living in the United States since 1997. Recently in southern California. I did not speak English when I arrived. So I had to learn it, accommodate to the different environment, people and culture. I had to trust myself; I had to have self confidence and a healthy level of self-esteem to survive. It was not easy.

(I): What do you do now?

(Z): I am working as a licensed massage therapist to help others to relieve stress, to encourage them to take care of their body and soul as a whole, to support their quest to find alternative healing, relaxing methods to deal with the challenges of our everyday life.

(I): How does self-esteem come to the picture?

(Z): Self -esteem is a very complex concept. It affects your physical, mental, spiritual and emotional unity on a daily basis. Through my massage therapist practice I can feel the sense of urgency to educate people about how their thinking, their thoughts, their imagination, their relation to challenges manifest in their body. The tenderness, the pain, the limited range of motion in certain part of the body is mostly stress-related. There are, of course medical issues, some serious problems that need professional advice. But in general, your approach toward the experience decides to send the message of relaxation to the brain or to contract the muscles to protect yourself from the situation. The higher the level of your self-esteem, the better you feel about yourself the more relaxed response you can give in any situation.

(I): Why self-esteem 2 go?

(Z): For 2 reasons:

1, I think building self-esteem is a very important part of our personality and self-esteem is the way to go.

2, When you order food in a restaurant and you want to take it home you ask for “to go”. I would like anybody to take as much information as possible from my website to their own home and start making changes in their life if it is necessary. I want to give people my little “to go box” to support their quest to prosper, to fulfill their potential.

(I): What do you see as one of the biggest challenges in human behavior in the next couple years to come?

(Z): Handling the incredible high number of choices you have. Hard to focus on one particular task if there are hundreds of others trying to get your attention at the same time. The more focused you are the better performance you have and the better the quality of your job and life will be.

(I): Any comment at the end?

(Z): Let’s call Mahatma Gandhi on his cell phone:

- Mr. Gandhi, what do you think about western civilization?

- Western civilization? ...Yes, that would be a good idea.
