Self Confidence

Self Confidence - The biggest achievements, victory or inventions have been done by people who have believed in themselves. Now, you will rightly point out that self confidence was not the only thing but also their hard work, determination and grit which made them see the day of success.  It is seen that believing in your own abilities along with putting in the required efforts will help us achieve what we want. Self confidence is just like the spark plug of an engine, which sets off the whole process. It is very important that we guard our self confidence from falling prey to failure.

We don't succeed in every attempt we make and at times success evades us for a long time. This is when our self confidence reaches the bottom. Always remind yourself of the following lines from the famous "Don't Quit" poem.

“Success is failure turned inside out

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt

And you never can tell how close you are

It may be near when it seems so far

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit

It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit!”

So next time you fail even after putting in all your efforts, don't lose your self confidence and promise yourself to bounce back with even better preparation.

However, there cannot be a situation where I am very confident about myself but not willing to do anything and yet expect success.    

A lot of times self confidence can quietly take the place of over confidence. It is good to be sure about your abilities but absolutely fatal to underestimate the problem. So never let the success go to your head.

At times, even a few words of encouragement are enough to restore our confidence. So next time you see someone losing his confidence, share those magic words " You can do it " with a pat on the back. It surely works !!!
