Random fact: "People who have positive core self-evaluations like themselves and see themselves as effective, capable, and in control of the environment. Those with negative core self-evaluations tend to dislike themselves, question their capabilities, and view themselves as powerless over their environment.... [as a result] People with positive CSE perform better than others because they ate nor ambitious goals, are more committed to their goals, and persist longer in attempting to reach these goals." Robbins and Judge, Essentials of Organizational Behavior 12 ed, p68
