Self-worth is greater than the whole 1

What I mean by self-worth is improving yourself. Caring mostly about yourself. Sticking to yourself. Not getting in other people's business unless prompted.
If you get a grasp on yourself, it will reflect into the whole.
I think too many people have this do-good attitude of wanting to change the world yet they fail to realize how hard it is to even change the simplest things within themselves.
You want to change the world? Start with the man (or woman) in the mirror.

Most of the people who want to change and help the world have already done this. I am one of them and I don't know anyone whose life isn't together that really cares about helping others. Granted, i know a lot of troubled women with major problems that want to become social workers because of their own struggles but they fail to realize they are in need of one themselves.

I agree, i have noticed some people tend to use this do-good attitude as a way to escape the man/women in the mirror.
