Emerson Says: Confidence is the First Key to Success - Do You Have It?
We all know that confidence is necessary for anyone to do what they want to do. If a person loses confidence, it will be difficult for them to reach the pinnacle of success.
Emerson said: confidence is the first secret to success.
From this, it can be seen that confidence is a very important factor in success, although it is not the only one.Confidence can give people great courage, which is the strong belief that supports people's pursuit of success. If a person lacks confidence, they are as soft as if they had no waist and spine.
Shaw said: confident people may turn small things into great things and mediocrity into magic.
Gorky: Only those with full confidence can immerse themselves in life with confidence in any place and achieve their will.
Roland: A person lacking confidence is likely to doubt the environment and be defensive.
It is because of these famous people that they are called 'famous people' – because their lives have already achieved success.
There are so many famous quotes about confidence, and they are all summarizing the importance of confidence.
If you feel that you are too far from celebrities and you don't think you can become like them, then I'll tell you an example that happens nearby,
I taught two students, one named Ashun and one named Ashang. Both students have good writing skills, especially Ashun's articles are a little more spiritual than Ashang's,
Compared to me, I prefer Ashun's articles, because writing does require some talent,
But a writing competition completely changed my impression of Ashun and Ashang. It was a full-province live writing competition, and our school was fortunate to get a chance to participate. However, when it came to deciding who to send to participate, I was a little difficult to choose,
At first, I wanted to send Ashun, because it was a writing competition, so naturally it was based on the quality of the articles. I brought Ashun and told him that there was such a thing,
Ashun was very excited at first, but when he saw that it was live writing, he became lack of confidence. He told me he didn't want to go because he was afraid of crowded places,
I encouraged him to overcome his shyness, because as people grow up, such occasions will inevitably appear. I said that this opportunity is rare, and you can only challenge yourself to be fearless in the future,
I gave him a night to consider. But the next day, Ashun still told me he didn't want to go, because he was afraid that if he didn't write well in front of everyone, he and I would be disgraced. I didn't force him again,
I brought Ashang over, and still used those opening lines. As soon as Ashang heard it, he immediately lit up his eyes and said, 'Teacher, I go!'
I told you it was live writing, are you afraid? He said, 'No, I don't think so, writing is my own thing, and it has nothing to do with others. Besides, this is an opportunity, and I have the confidence and ability to accept the challenge!'
As a teacher, I should certainly give opportunities to students who are confident like this. Moreover, Ashun had given up this opportunity, so I didn't hesitate to sign up for Ashang. I thought that if I hadn't communicated with Ashang directly instead of Ashun first, his confidence would have impressed me,
A child who is confident should be given an opportunity!
The subsequent 'performance' proved that this confident child won one of the five first prizes in the province. And this result could be used as a bonus for his college entrance examination,
Ashun was very disappointed to learn that Ashang had won. I specially talked to him, encouraging him to build confidence, because the road ahead was still long, and confidence was necessary to overcome obstacles,
However, people's personalities are difficult to change completely. Now they are all graduates, Ashun works in a small unit with a nine-to-six job, and Ashang has become a penman in a news unit and is loved and valued by leaders. Because Ashang wrote many influential articles with his confidence and aura, he established his own brand!This reminds me of what Rockefeller said:
Even if you strip me of all my clothes and throw them in the center of the Sahara Desert, I will still be a new millionaire with a passing trading team.
So, the reason why people cannot reach success is often because of a lack of confidence. Although confidence is not the only element of success, it is indispensable.
