For me, encouraging to myself is most important than the other people encourage me. So, I cast a spell on me in front of mirror, and encourage me to face my self.
I had thought when the others compliment me I could be accountable. Thus, I had tried to get compliment from others, but I was always thirsty even though I got lots of compliment. Thankfully, I found why I kept thirsty when I had taking a counselor class, in particular about inner child section. I realized that I was thirsty because I did not accept and compliment myself. After the class, I started to talk with myself by looking at a mirror. This is how I hold myself accountable.

• Maxim: Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
I steal this maxim from Mike Figliuolo’s maxim and I add one more “Why?” in my maxim. He said, “I invite you to steal it [maxim: Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?] from me if you like” (113). As I read it, I felt the invitation is for me!
As I read Figliuilo’s book, I thought I have not really asked myself “why?” about my decision. As a senior now, I am thinking and praying about my future after graduating the seminary. I am thinking about a few options but I have not asked me “why?” I have just listened what the people who I trust advise me, and if I agree with that, I did.
One day, my boyfriend asked me my future plan after graduation. I told him, “I am thinking to continue study in Th.M or Ph.D.” And, he asked me, “why?” I replied, “I am enjoying to study theology.” He asked me again, “why?” As Figliuilo did, I was frustrated about his asking because I guessed he did not support my plan. After I read the book, One piece of paper, I learned that my future is important enough to ask my times of “why?” I am a person who believe today is important and tomorrow may not come for me. I still think this way. However, I decide to ask myself “why?” after read Figliuilo’s book. So, I hope to foresee my future through this
