We’re all victims of occasional bouts of self-doubt, even the most successful, charismatic, confident among us have their moments of insecurity. Self-confidence can be a very delicate and complex thing. A few are born with it; others learn it early on and the rest of us have to learn to build it on our own.
我们每个人都有自我怀疑的时候,即使最成功最能力超群最自信的人有时也会迷茫。自信是一种微妙复杂的东西。有些人天生就很自信;还有一些人很早就学会了自信,而我们,也要学会建立我们自己的自信心。
Our confidence plays an important role in ability to achieve success and happiness. It affects our mental thought patterns, the way we speak, the way we act, and the decisions we make in all areas of our lives – career, money, relationships, and even our health. Confident people take more action, perform better, and are more likely to attain their goals. In addition, confident people also know how to take more enjoyment from their accomplishments are happier in general.
在通向成功和幸福的道路上,自信发挥着重要作用。它影响着我们的思维模式、说话方式、行为方式以及生活的各方面的决定——事业、金钱、人际关系,甚至我们的健康。自信的人行动更为果敢,办事效率更高,更有可能实现他们的目标。此外,自信的人也明白如何从自己的成就中得到更多的快乐,生活也更加幸福。
Lucky for us, confidence can be built and strengthened until it becomes natural, just as any other habit. It simply takes a little time, some effort, and a bit of attention.
幸运的是,我们也可以建立并逐步加强我们的自信,直到它变得就像其他习惯一样。建立自信心只需要一点点时间,一点点努力以及一点点专注。
1. Fail More Often.
更多的失败。
The more challenges you take on, the more failures you’ll have, but learning that you can recover, get up and push forward builds confidence.
挑战越多,失败就越多,但是你要知道,你很快就能从中走出来,并成为你建立自信心的助推器。
2. Track your accomplishments.
记录你的成就。
Keep a list of successes, big and small. It’ll help you to see your abilities in a more positive (and realistic) light.
记录下你的每一次成功,无论大小。它会让你用一种更积极(也更为现实)的眼光来看待自己的能力。
3. Don’t compare.
不要和别人比较。
Stop measuring yourself against others. What you see isn’t always real. Making comparisons is a damaging and an inaccurate measure of success anyway.
不要再拿自己和别人比较了。你看到的并不总是真相。无论如何,与别人比较都是对成功的一种破坏性和错误性的衡量。
