The Important of Self-confidence

Self-confidence is arguably one of the most important things you can have. Self-confidence reflects your assessment of your own self-worth. It will play a large part in determining your happiness through life.

Sport can be both enormously effective in improving self-worth and highly destructive in damaging it. Where sport is used creatively, with emphasis on enjoyment, effective goal setting and monitoring of achievement of goals, it can build self-confidence as targets are reached and improvement in performance is noted.

Where children are compelled to participate in a sport for which they have no aptitude, this can be immensely destructive to self-confidence as failure and lack of self-prepared to take moral responsibility for inflicting this damage.

Self-confidence allows you to take risks, as you have enough confidence in your own abilities to be sure that if things do go wrong, you can put things right.

苟日新，日日新

伊浚:

古人讲” 苟日新，日日新，又日新” 。你每天都可以提升自己，每天都是新的。因为” 新” 不在一个表面，而是時時反观自己的内心有没有提升？你的进退你自己知道，所以进退只在一念之间，不在于你的分数。你只有一个目标，就是今天的你，有没有比昨天的你进步？有，你就是进步。因为每个人的狀况会不一样，那我们跟别人比沒有任何的意义，每个人都是第一。你的进退就在你自己的心境上。不论你的成绩如何，在我们的心目中，你永远都是第一，因为你是我们的孩子。祝天天进步。

Don’t Fear Failure

Many career expert believe failure as the castor oil of success. The idea isn’t to fling yourself into certain disaster in order to be mystically rewarded with triumph. Rather, it’s a simple recognition that people who willingly risk failure and learn from loss have the best chance of succeeding at whatever they try.

You’ve had minor reverses in school or love, but you haven’t failed meaningfully. Never fear, everyone get chances. No one lives a failure life forever.

Failure is easy to recognize. It usually involves loss of money, self-esteem or status. At least, it is simply not getting what you want such as the Anatomy examination’s result you get recently.

Not that rational people should wish for calamity, but a stiff dose of misfortune is often a painfully effective tutor. It teaches you something about your strength and acquaints you with your limitations. That’s an important part of maturity.

People who profit from loss are the kind of foot soldiers business leaders seek. Continuous success builds arrogance and complacency. Unsuccessful people in stinctively avoid risks even when a smart gamble might pay off. You learn a great deal more from what doesn’t work than from what does. Failure is merely the cost of seeking new challenge.

If the thought of fouling up paralyzes you, here are several helpful suggestions:

1. Stop using the “Failure” word.
High achievers, rarely refer to “failure”, a loaded word suggesting a personal dead end. They prefer “glitch”, “bollix” or “course correction”.

2. Don’t take it personally.
When things go sour, don’t label yourself a loser. The language you use to describe yourself can become a powerful reality.

3. Be prepared.
Help insulate yourself by mapping a catastrophe plan. Opportunity is for who are be prepared. Keep in mind that the Chinese Ideogram for “crisis” consists of the characters for both “danger” and “opportunity”.

4. Learn to fail intelligently.
You must learn to reload and get ready to start again.

5. Never give up.
You can’t afford to get arrogant about success, so you must always trying to improve yourself by reading and study.
