“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
― Mahatma Gahndi
Gahndi was a well known because of his leadership and influence that lead to Indias independence. He was also known for his insights on life and his non violent protest. I chose this qoute from Gahndi to talk about because its main theme is confidence. What Gahndi is saying here is that a person is who he believes he is.
If a male/female tells themselves that they are a loner and having no friends then they will truely start to believe that is true. Also if a person believes he is successful and is achieving many goals, then it will start to be shown in their actions. When one starts to doubt themselves, it can be known to everyone because you will start procrastinating and slacking up on work. We as human beings should not let doubt rule over us and we must remain confident in everything we do.
A person should not be jealous because someone has "more" confidence than themselves, they have it in them too but it hasn't been yet discovered. If they start telling themself that the task could be overcome and beat then it would be done in the end.
Another qoute about confidence is taken from Mitch Aldom,
"Accept who you are; and revel in it.”
Thus quotes primary reason is to inform the reader that the person they are is okay and they should embrace every inch of it. They shouldnt put themselves down because they can't be like the Joneses, instead, they should accept who they are and make the most out of it.
Confidence is swelled inside you but in order to see it, you must open the bottle and let it show.
I enjoyed reading your post it was great!I liked how you said that in order to see our confidence we must open the bottle and let it show. (: And i agree on what your explaining that we shouldn't let doubt overrule us, we need to have certainty and confidence in our actions and decisions.We should believe in ourselves, that we can accomplish anything if we put our minds to it.
ReplyDelete"Confidence is key". This is VERY true. If we doubt and continue to tell ourselves that we will fail, our mind will make it to no matter what we do, we will not succeed. But if we tell ourselves that we can do something then we have given ourselves the potential rather than blocking ourselves from something that we could have achieved. I really enjoyed your post and I agree 100% with what you are saying. Great post :)
