Confidence

Confidence is a belief in one's self and abilities for you to succeed. There's what we call too much and too little confidence. Too much confidence is not good, for example, you have a project to be passed by next week, and you have lots of confidence by saying "Nah, it's still next week, it's super easy," and then you did not finish it by next week because you underestimated the time. Too little confidence is also not good because you are prone to take risks. You should balance your confidence because you can deal with any challenges up ahead.

There are five kinds of confidence:

· Self-confidence

· Confidence in others

· Confidence that things happen for a reason

· Confidence that change can be a thing

· Confidence to know it's going to be ok

We people or teenagers to be exact, suffered from not being self-confident because we are very conscious of ourselves and what others think of us. I always struggle to be confident about myself because I'm not perfect. I get nervous and sometimes mistaken. Whenever we have reported, I felt nervous because there are lots of people listening to you in front, and I don't have the confidence, but I motivate myself to be calm and all, and I'm glad that I overcome it. Sometimes I'm not confident because I have acne, but it's been treated, but having acne is hard because for me, it's like people are not looking at your eyes when talking but in your acne, and that's the time I get superconscious. I always say to myself that be who you are, not be like the others, believe in yourself, believe in your capabilities, and everything is possible. You don't need to be perfect, and nobody is. Just be proud of who you are because it is you, don't mind about others because it's not their life, it's yours, they do not control you, and just mind yourself.

Confidence in others is so good because they are the ones to boost your confidence. I gain my confidence from others (my friends) because I'm the type of person who has little confidence in myself. They motivate me that I can do more and all. They always support me throughout, and they are very proud of my achievements. If you don't have much confidence in yourself, maybe you will have confidence from others.

Everything happens for a reason. Confidence that things happen for a reason, is realizing the unknown. You will have to accept the possibilities. For example, you did not pass the entrance exam to a university, and somewhat you realized that it happens for a reason. Maybe it's not your destiny to study there. Life is like a rollercoaster ride, a lot of ups and downs. Just be confident in making the right decision and path in your life.

We are often afraid of change, but why not be afraid of it, sometimes change can be good. Confidence that change can be a good thing is totally good. With that kind of confidence, we can handle new possibilities and experiences. According to Gandhi "Be the change you wish to see in the world,"

I always say that "it's going to be ok," to myself every day when I have problems and challenges ahead of me because I know that I have overcome it, and I will do it again. It's a great motivation to yourself in saying "OK" to every situation because it's the confidence to know it's going to be ok.

In life, our enemy is our confidence because it lowers our self-esteem and can damage our self-confidence. We cannot banish ourselves from being conscious, but we can overcome it. Just being who you are is enough, encourage yourself to do more and accept your flaws and imperfections.

There are ways to build confidence, and these are:

· Monitor and think about your progress

· Do the right thing

· Stand up

· Be fearless

· Don't care what others think.

· Saying "It's going to be ok" to yourself

· Motivate yourself

· Do what makes you feel happy.

According to Mark Twain, "A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval" and according to Dalai Lama, "With the realization of one's potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world,"
