自信的重要性The Importance of Self Confidence

It’s generally accepted that confidence plays a very vital role in one’s life. But do you really know what dose self-confidence mean? Well, it means that you have strong belief that you can do things and you will succeed in the end. If you want to do something well, you must have faith in yourself. Just like the old saying goes, confidence in yourself is the first step on the road to success. Otherwise, you may hardly to do anything right. Some people love to complain how incapable they are or how difficult their tasks are, they never think about the problem in themselves, which is lack of confidence. If they fail, they will refuse to have another try. Then they will never ever have the chance to overcome difficulties.

人們普遍認爲，自信在個人的生活中扮演着重要的角色。但你知道“自信”指的究竟是什麼嗎？它意味着你非常相信自己能把事情做好。如果你想做好某事，那麼你就得對自己有信心。俗話說得好：自信是通向成功之路的第一步。否則，你很難成功。有些人很喜歡抱怨自己是多麼的無能；或者他們的任務是多麼的艱難。這些都是缺乏自信的表現。如果他們失敗了，就拒絕再試一次。如此，他們便失去了克服困難的機會。

There are several reasons why people feel no confidence about themselves when they meet the challenges. First of all, they underestimate themselves. Second, they tend to overestimate the problems that in front of them. Last but not least, they are afraid of losing their face or making terrible mistakes if they fail.

當人們面對挑戰的時候之所以會不自信，有如下的幾個原因。首先，他們低估了自己的能力；其次，又高估了所面對的困難。最後一點，他們害怕丟臉或是被他人嘲笑，如果他們真的失敗了的話。

There are many ways for us to build up self-confidence. Emerson used to say: “Self-trust is the first secret of success.” Before we do something, we should make full preparations and try to encourage ourselves that we will success. If we fail, don’t be afraid, try again; or turn to others for help. If we can overcome the adversities this time, then we will gain some confidence. Step by step, we would become more and more confident. We should have a right attitude toward our abilities and should never look down upon ourselves. The chief thing to remember is: failure is the mother of success.

塑造信心有很多種方式。艾默生曾經說過：“自信是成功的第一祕訣”。在我們做事情之前，先做好充分準備並儘量鼓勵自己，相信自己會成功。如果我們失敗了，也別害怕，再試一次；或者像他人求助。如果這一次我們能夠克服困難，那麼，我們的自信心就會增加。一步一步的，就會變得越來越自信。對自己的能力，也應該有個正確的態度，不要低估自己的能力。最需謹記的是：失敗是成功之母。
