What is Self-Confidence ?

Confidence

 Confidence is the ability to believe in yourself. It is important to note that all success revolves around confidence and everyone must develop the confidence to achieve their goals.
Jake Welch once said, "Confidence gives you courage and allows you to take bigger risks and accomplish more than you ever thought possible." This speaks volumes for the huge role confidence plays in the success of whatever you do.
People who lack confidence have a hard time succeeding. After all, would you support a project presented by someone who is nervous, clumsy, and overly apologetic? on the other hand, you can be persuaded by someone who speaks clearly, holds his head high, answers confidently, and is ready to admit when he doesn't know something.
Confident people transmit their beliefs to others; their audience, their colleagues, their customers, and their friends. Earning the trust of others is one of the ways a confident person finds success.
The good news is that confidence can actually be learned and developed. And whether you're trying to improve your overconfidence or build the trust of those around you, it's worth it! All things being equal, it is often the factor distinguishing a successful person from a less successful person. Your confidence level can show up in many ways: your attitude, your language, and how you speak.

 How confident do you seem to others?

Things that show you're confident

 1. Do what you think is right, even when others laugh or criticize you for it.

2. Willingness to take risks and work harder to achieve better things.

3. Accept mistakes and commit to learning. 

4. Wait for others to congratulate you on your achievement. Accept compliments gracefully.

Things that show your lack of confidence

 1. Adjust your behavior to other people's thoughts.

2. Staying in your comfort zone, fear, and avoid taking risks. 

3. Regularly extoll your virtues to as many people as possible.

5. Not admitting your mistakes, and not learning from experience. Arbitrarily refusing a compliment.

Balanced confidence

 Confidence is a matter of balance. At one extreme, we have people who lack confidence. On the other hand, we have people who can be overconfident. Good confidence is having enough confidence, based on your facts and true abilities. With the right level of confidence, you will take informed risks, push yourself (but not exceed your capabilities), and strive. On the contrary, if you lack confidence, you will avoid risk and effort; and you may not try at all. It means you will not reach your potential. And if you are overconfident, you may end up taking too many risks, pushing yourself beyond your means and leading to catastrophic failure. You may also find that you're optimistic and don't try hard enough to succeed. So confidence must be based on facts; realistic expectations, your skills, and experience, and the effort and preparation you are willing to put in to achieve your goals. The bad news is that there is no quick fix or a 5-minute fix. The good news is that building self-confidence is easy, as long as you have the focus and determination to get the job done, and what's even better is that what you do will lead to success. No one can take it away from you! So here are our three steps towards confidence, for which we'll use the metaphor of a trip: Prepare your trip, leave; and accelerate to success.
