The Importance of Confidence

People say that self-confidence is half of the success that can bring you courage to stick to what you do. Without self-confidence, one cannot do well in anything. Self-confidence is of great importance and value to a person. If you take an important examination with confidence, you will probably pass it and thus seize a good opportunity. When you play a role in a play, the confidence shown in your performance can help you get applause from the audience.

However, not everyone has enough confidence in himself. There are many reasons for lack of confidence, but in general, they come down to two major ones. First, some people tend to improperly belittle themselves. Without a correct estimation of themselves, they often hesitate to press forward in the face of difficulties. Second, some people overestimate difficulties. For them, difficulties are always like high mountains which they can never get over.

In my opinion, one should build up faith in oneself as long as he has a right attitude towards his own abilities. We should neither underestimate nor overestimate our abilities. As a proverb says, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” With confidence we can certainly cope with any task we are faced with.
