Perception of our value

Now i myself was astounded by this while flipping through the pages of Paul Mckenna's book today. Here's story to begin with.
"In the early 1970s, a record label in Britain was selling albums containing cover versions of comtemporary songs. Although the records sold for less than $2 a copy, hardly anyone bought them and the record company was suffering.
A whiz kid joined the board and announce he wanted to more than double the price of the records. The other executives were shocked but eventually agreed to his plan. Within a few weeks, the records were flying off the shelves. When the records didnt cost much, people didnt value them. the record company was saved by redefining people's perception of the value of their product."

An extract from Paul Mckenna's "Change your life in seven days"
Now here is something shocking i have learnt.
THE WORLD SEES U JUST AS THE WAY U SEE YOU ARE.
People responds to that. Ur behaviour, body language and the way ur thoughts flow exhibits that very clearly to people. Just as the way u see yourself unconsciously, people will also unconsciously treat you the same way. Trust me, i have experimented it and proven to be true. Now here is another of my favourite quote

"We are born princes, and the civilzing process makes us into frogs."
-Eric Berne
We are made for success. God firmly say it in the Bible in Genesis 1:26-28
Then God said," Let's us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over the creatures that moves along the ground."

So God created man in his own image,
In the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them

God bless them and said to them, " Be fruitful and increase in numbersl; feel the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground"
Genesis 1:26-28(NIV)
When God created mankind we made for dominance, leadership and power. We are made to be special. Male or Female alike.
However, like what Eric Berne said,
"civilizing process makes us into frogs"
Why so exactly??
Here's the truth. Every baby born is like a new CPU with an empty storage memory. Everything we do now is taught and practice along the way. Like learning to walk, speak, feel emotions. Its true.
I remember clearly there was a kid brought up by wolfs, this man apparently ended up behaving and thinking he is one when he was found.
So how does Eric Berne's quote relate to this?
Our self image is build up the same way as well. We end up believing and applying what people comment about us and unconsciously allowed it to become part of our self image.( Like for example, ur parent constantly remind you that you are stupid and u end up believing you are)

NOW STOP!!!!!
Its time to rebuke that nonsensical part of you that hinders your life!
Ok. here's a problem. I can't share openly what is in the book due to copyright laws.
But, all i can say it.
CHANGE THE VALUE YOU SEE YOURSELF AS, IF YOU EVER WANT TO CHANGE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.
