Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark. Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression．Molly's mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg．
A few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog．The dog bit all four of Molly’s legs and left large cuts in her face. Molly's owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital．Doctors there were able to save Molly’s life, but soon one of her legs became very infected(感染).
At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep．But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew that Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live.
Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it!
After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt．But she leaves her mark in other ways, too.
Kaye Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false leg. Molly made them smile and gave them hope. Soon, Molly began to visit schools, nursing homes, army bases and hospitals. A book was even written about Molly!

“Love your neighbor as yourself” is a saying familiar to most of us．It means that you must have the ability to love and accept yourself in order to form and keep satisfying relationship with others. Self-esteem means accepting yourself for who you really are, and believing that you are indeed a worthwhile person who is deserving of love and respect from others．
Self-esteem is our sense of how good we feel about ourselves．It is based on our judgment of ourselves, not on other people's assessment, but simply on our own．Our self-esteem is not dependent on our talent．Some very ordinary people feel very good about themselves, while other extraordinarily high achievers hold low opinions of themselves．
Self-esteem is the primary key to long-term stress management．Why? The first three sources of stress are: predictable life events, unexpected changes and build-up of daily stresses. These are much easier to handle when we believe in ourselves. A positive, healthy self-esteem gives us the “hardiness”（强健）to deal with the difficulties of life, and to see them as challenges to be met, rather than threats to be feared．
The fourth category of stress is entirely the result of a low self-esteem．It is the category of stress that is most common and tiring in the long run．This kind of stress cannot be overcome, or even changed, until the self-esteem problems that cause it are corrected．
Learning to love yourself for who you are is the key to overcoming stress．Self-esteem comes from the self, and cannot be promoted by others．A person who feels that his self-esteem comes from the approval of those around him or her is bound to self-destruct（自毁）. One cannot keep the level of “performance” required to please everyone else, especially if that performance disagrees with who you are and is simply a facade that makes you popular with the world．When the applause is gone, there is nothing left．   Only those who can feel the strength of knowing who they are and those who can feel good about themselves will survive the stresses of life．Self-esteem is the basis of contentment and positive living．
