- 1. SELF CONFIDENCE Self confidenceis the first requisite to great undertakings…. ~Samuel Johnson
- 2. FIRSTYOU KNOW CONFIDENCETHEN YOUADD SELFTO IT What is confidence … ……it’s a mere potence of a personality to put forth or present itself without getting anxious about others’ opinions. Confidence is generally described as a state of being certain either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective. Self-confidence is having confidence in one's self. Confidence can be described as a belief in one's ability to succeed. Striking a healthy balance can be challenging. Too much of it and you can come off as cocky and stumble into unforeseen obstacles, but having too little can prevent you from taking risks and seizing opportunities—in school, at work, in your social life, and beyond.
- 3. THE RE AL SCE NA RIO Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, yet so many people struggle to find it. Sadly, this can be a vicious circle: people who lack self- confidence can find it difficult to become successful.
- 5. What is Self-Confidence? Twomain things contribute to self- confidence: self-efficacy and self- esteem. We gain a sense of self-efficacy when we see ourselves (and others similar to ourselves) mastering skills and achieving goals that matter in those skill areas.This is the confidence that, if we learn and work hard in a particular area, we'll succeed; and it's this type of confidence that leads people to accept difficult challenges, and persist in the face of setbacks.
- 6. WHAT SELF CONFIDENCEACTUALLY MEANS This overlaps with the idea of self-esteem , which is a more general sense that we can cope with what's going on in our lives, and that we have a right to be happy. Partly, this comes from a feeling that the people around us approve of us, which we may or may not be able to control. However, it also comes from the sense that we are behaving virtuously, that we're competent at what we do, and that we can compete successfully when we put our minds to it. Some people believe that self-confidence can be built with affirmations and positive thinking . At Mind Tools, we believe that there's some truth in this, but that it's just as important to build self-confidence by setting and achieving goals – thereby building competence. Without this underlying competence, you don't have self-confidence: you have shallow over-confidence, with all of the issues, upset and failure that this brings.
- 7. Without a havinga minimum level of confidence, a person simply cannot expect to achieve the true heights of glory and triumph, no matter how much skillful he or she is or how much hard work is put in by the person concerned. The primary cause of such a situation is that even if the person is capable of achieving great heights in life, he or she will definitely yield to the pressure and competition which have always been a dominating factor in any form of test or contest. It is at this particular juncture that the person needs to hold his or her nerves without getting nervous and give his or her best with the required confidence and coolness. SELF CONFIDENCE A PREREQUISITE
- 8. A THEME WHICHINITIATES POWER TO SELF Self Confidence is the key to success, or we can say the first step to success. If a person has self confidence, he has won half the battle.Those people who have self confidence at work, school, and in their daily life always appear on top of world. Everything seems to go right for these people and they always seem to present themselves as calm, collected and successful in everything they do . If you pay attention, you might notice that these self confident people usually are successful in every area of their lives. Is this because they are smarter? Or is it because they have more money? Maybe they are just lucky?The reality is that none of these things are true. Self confident people understand the impact of believing in themselves and relying on their abilities. This confidence ultimately creates opportunities for success and with each new success, another self confidence building block is put into place. Success builds self confidence with each new achievement. Self confident people perceive themselves as able to achieve those things they set out to do and this perception creates reality in their lives.
- 9. LET YOURSELF GO… Self-confidenceis something that cannot be taught. It is up to the individual to decide how much belief that they possess inside of themselves. I am at the point where I realize that I must first believe in myself before others will believe in me. Nobody teaches us to be happy or sad.They are natural feelings that come along as we develop mentally, physically, emotionally and psychologically. When you get to the point where you allow others to dictate how you feel about life, you have to stop and take an internal survey. Ask yourself if your lack of self-confidence and self-assurance is holding you back from being the best that you can possibility be. Most often these feelings come from people allowing the negativity of other people to overcome them.You have to be willing to take control of your life and whatever is holding you back. So often we, as a people, look for the validation from society before we validate ourselves. I have allowed society to determine how I should look, dress and feel. It is time for me to take a stand and be in control of my own destiny.
