The Importance of Having Confidence in your Abilities

Today is the day. Today is finally the day that I am to be released from the psychiatric hospital since that day when I passed out. I know last time you heard from me, I was broken and unhappy and had hate for the world, but i'm in the best state i could ever be, I really am I tell you. Oh how excited I am to see old Phoebe. I haven’t seen her since i’ve been admitted into this wing of the hospital. Oh I wonder how much she has grown< She was so intelligent and pure, nothing could ever compromise her. So I hope nothing hasn’t. I was retrieving most of my belongings before I left, when I happened to run into old Ms. Patty. This was my nurse and oh, how lovely she is. “Oh hello Holden, leaving so soon ?” she said so to me with great compassion. Naturally I said, “Why yes sadly, I must go on with myself and enjoy the world, perhaps find myself a woman”, I said this suave as hell, I tell you.

While she was singing, Toddy came in to the bar she was performing. His first action when he arrived was to kiss the woman’s hand as a sign of salute. The bar’s owner expression was of disgust towards Victoria’s performance and her voice; he was turning his eyes and throwing ash from his cigarette in the ashtray as a sign of dislike and antipathy during her performance. When she finished, everybody applauded smiling because she did it great, even though the owner was not happy at all with Victoria. He advised her that she had to do it more naturally and she replied that with a little more of practice she could do it better. When she left, she told him that in some professions practice does make perfect, she yelled angrily to him, and broke his glass of wine causing scare to the

During my early years I was bullied in and out of school. My first experience with bullying started when I was in daycare. A girl named Kelly started bullying me. Every time I saw her she would talk about either my hair or my clothes or the way I looked. One day, my brother and Kelly’s sister were watching Kelly and I. Kelly’s aunt had told her to leave me alone. And after her aunt left the room, Kelly started pushing me to see what I would do and after a while I got really angry, so I punched her in the face. As her aunt came back in the room, she saw Kelly on the floor with me standing over her. Kelly’s Aunt then said, “Did I not tell you to leave her alone.” After that experience I knew that I had the

Self confidence is the foundation of success, achievement, and happiness. Unfortunately, the foundation of self confidence can become shaky and unstable if someone that you look up to as a role model hurts your self esteem and courage. One of the biggest role models in my life used to be my first club soccer coach. He seemed brilliant, passionate, and willing to work with my team. This man soon became the complete opposite of what I hoped he would be. I soon realized that he was a two faced liar and one of the most awful people I have ever met. Little did my ten year old self know he would be the downfall of my self confidence and he would slowly destroy any passion I had for the sport I loved all with only a few words.

“I chose you because I know you can do it,” her voice lightened up, “because I believe in you.”

The auditions were in January of 2012. I did not know of the results of my performance, and neither did Mr. Carter. I began to put it off until for the rest of the day. I really did not know what to think. I believed that it was a successful audition, but my doubts had come into play, and the thought of it all started to just make me nervous. I mean, how could a child, who knew little about music, possibly accomplish such a

To have a positive outlook on life we all have to gain confidence physically and mentally. We can attain self-confidence overtime; we need it in order to be successful in life. Although, it is difficult in our society to attain high level self-esteem due to picture perfect images, plastic surgery, and surreal role models. Low self-esteem is not only in women it is in men; everyone has some sort of low self-esteem because as humans none of us are perfect.

"Well, we can't go giving you points your Mum earned. What a shame I can't mark you on the shoes because I certainly can't give you anything for the singing - I couldn't call you a singer."

"I'm going to play the music once, and you're going to close your eyes and think about the dance. Ready?" Kaitlyn said while we were still waiting in the dressing

I believe in confidence. It shows happiness in many ways. It helps you find happiness when you're sad or scared. It makes happiness come true. This makes us feel great when we do the things that we are scared of but are fun. This is what drives us to do the fun things. I think I realized this when I moved to colorado and I went snowboarding. I was scared I thought that I would fly all the way down the hill and hurt myself. This is the same when I went surfing, I thought that a sea animal would get me. But now I know that if you just find confidence and try something new and you’ll find happiness. When you don’t do something that's super fun that's just a waste and you're just missing fun. My dad also helped me learn this.

Jennie looked at the wall in amazement, but I told her merrily that I did it out of pure spite at the vicious thing.

I agree with you. In the video when the narrator mentioned that infants who are outgoing and confident during infancy would have the same personality and characteristics later in life, I did not totally agree. Yes, parents do have some indication of what their child will be like when they starting developing. However, the environment also shapes the child's personality. A child may be loud during infancy but they might become the total opposite in their adolescence as a result of their environment. Take my sister for examples, when she was younger she was outgoing but when she started middle school she started to become shy and more introverted. I also agree with you that it is important that parents let their children explore the world rather

“Good morning, Kellen! Ready to see your grade?” She had asked, her cheery voice and eager facial expressions leading me to believe that I had done well. Despite that possibility, I simply nodded, still too anxious to even speak.

Most of life's situations are learning experiences. People can learn what activities are right or wrong for them by experiences these emotions in different situations. These learning experiences can take place at home, school, the workplace, or anywhere else. The three major experiences that have given me confidence in my ability to learn have all taken place at Penn State University.

Back then I didn’t quite know what self confidence was as I never really thought about what anyone had to say about me because I was always my true self around everyone. As I got older I started to have my actions rely on the opinions of others. Then I had a realization about what self confidence really is to me. Self confidence isn’t always about just how you look, but more so about trusting your abilities, your instincts, and knowing the kind of person you really are.
