Why Building Self Confidence Is Vital

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.

In chapter 6 of Springboard: Launching Your Personal Search for Success, G. Richard Shell argues that confidence is central for achievement. Confidence, Shell writes is part of discovering your true self and is related to our sense of purpose and our ability to interpret failure the right way. Confidence can be broken into two stages. The first type is to give strength in ones skills. The second type is to put to the test in ones skills.

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.

Being confident goes beyond just being proud of yourself; In Otto’s view it's about taking extraordinarily big risks. For example Otto was taken from his orphanage to the H.I.V.E. campus where he could have complained but, instead he was confident in himself and the teachers that ,although this place was new and out of ordinary, it still was safe. Otto Malpense gained his confidence when he was a child; His orphanage was threatened by the Mayor that it would be closed down because of its disastrous condition but, Otto didn’t give them a chance so, he made a plan and told all the kids in the orphanage. His plan could have had a tiny flaw and that would have shut down the orphanage

This paper will explore the impact confidence has on a new graduate nurse (NGN)’s practice. It will start by exploring personal reflection focusing on the importance and impact confidence has had on my practice. It will also discuss professional reflection touching on: my Nursing 495 learning plan, my clinical experience, connecting it to literature. This paper will conclude with the impact confidence will have on my future practice. In this paper, self-confidence is defined “as the belief of a person in her or his own abilities to achieve goals and perform tasks and practices in an effective and efficient manner”.

I believe in the beauty of confidence. Confidence is truly a defining factor in self-recognized beauty. I believe that confidence is one of the most important traits that an individual can possess. To perceive confidence is not solely to feel pride in oneself, but to recognize the strength that lies in the presence of a single individual. To feel the power of emotions that can exist, the wonder of thoughts that are able to ring inside a free mind too. To feel strength in a crowded room is to be mighty. To sit down beside champions of the same sport and to not feel an urge to compare oneself to others in any manner but for inspiration. Letting only my eyes wander to the appearance and the interviews of my competition, but for the sole purpose of improving myself. To settle for less than I already am because of someone else is a crime I have the power to commit, as well to prevent. People are so much fiercer and more powerful than their minds will ever lead them to believe. To feel dignity blossom inside a mind and soul is to allow a heart the ease of knowing that it is at rest inside a chest that it

Not having a strong sense of confidence can cause problems such as being easily influenced, having trouble making the right decisions, and getting involved in unhealthy relationships. Developing a strong sense of identity and self esteem is important because we must first learn how to understand and love ourselves before we can allow anyone else to. I am confident because I know who I am and what I want in live. I am driven and goal oriented and I will stop at literally nothing to get what I want. Being confident in myself has allowed me to express myself in a variety of ways without worrying whether or not people are going to judge me. I’m a big believer in “look good, feel good, do good” so I always try to look my best even if I’m feeling not-so-confident on that particular

In fact,confidence is very important to each of us .Confident people believe in themselves,and because they believe,they achieve.You have confidence in yourself and your abilities.President Nixon,because of a lack of confidence,ruined his political career.In 1972,Nixon’s re-election campaign.Because of his remarkable achievements in the first term,so most political commentators are predicting Nixon will win by a landslide.Nixon himself,however,is not very confident.He can’t walk out of psychological shadow of the past few failure,extremely

According to journalists Katty Kay and Claire Shipman in The Atlantic article “The Confidence Gap”, “confidence is a belief in one’s ability to succeed, a belief that stimulates action” (Kay and Shipman 151). As important it is to be knowledgeable with a warehouse full of experiences, if one only keeps the knowledge to him/herself, this knowledge will not have the chance to be applied, or let alone appreciated. This would clearly be more difficult for introverts and women than for extroverts and men, but we must overcome this barrier to have a successful career. Due to both nature and nurture, women tend to internalize their failures and mistakes, falsely blaming themselves for being incompetent, resorting to being even more careful and shy in taking actions, which stops them from taking risks that might be the key to stand out and succeed. To overcome the lack of confidence, we need to swallow our doubts, “stop thinking so much and just act” (Kay and Shipman 153). Confidence is the language needed to deliver our skills, and at the end of the day, confidence can also be self-perpetuating, and having confidence could help us better recover from failures and be a better person as a

By being confident, you are showing others that they can trust you and count on you to do what is right, even if you do not do it very well. If your doctor was to walk into the operating room and says he does not seem very confident about what he is doing, are you going to think of your doctor as being a leader? Angela says, “Be confident in your power to be the change”. By being confident about what you are doing is changing the way others look at something. Someone may not think their artwork is very good and they decide not to turn it in, but if they see someone else have the courage to turn in their not so good art work, chances are the other student will become confident enough to turn his in. Having courage is a very important key to becoming a

I believe that having this self-confidence is necessary in our time and age where the social forces at large always try to push us into different

The confidence is built upon the esteem and the belief in oneself to be good or worthy enough to be capable of aiding others.

Being self-confident, believe in one’s self is very important. Millions of people fail to live their life they always wished to live. They fail to realise their ambitions and give up on their dreams as soon as they encounter their first obstacle. One of the strongest cause of it is because they fail to believe themselves. Believing in yourself is all about being sure that you are going to do whatever you want, even the others are against you. Usually , when you decide to take big challenge or to do something that

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.
