Premium value
If you devalue yourself nobody will raise it for you. You have got to prove to the world who you are without hesitant.
Just as we go to the market to buy things, in like manner, people come to buy things from us. It could be an idea. It could be our physical strength depending on the line of job we find ourselves. Sometimes, it could be our beauty. Whatever, we must never sell ourselves cheaply.
In the market, you don't offer a higher price for an article or a good, rather, you try to beat the price down in line of your budget and self-assessment of the goods, so do people try to do to us, but we must have a standard, otherwise, our lives may become garbage bins for people to drop their unsavoury opinions.
While you don't need to be pompous to let people know who you are, you nonetheless need to put your best foot forward at all time by being yourself at all time.
