Self-confidence

Guidance for Reciting

As a proverb goes,“Where there is a will,there is a way.”One should build up faith in oneself as long as he has a right attitude towards his own abilities. With confidence we can certainly cope with any task we are confronted with.

Self-confidence is to be sure of oneself and one's abilities. It is extremely important for all to be self-confident as it is the indispensable condition to their success.

When being interviewed by the employer,if the applicant have full confidence and try his best to persuade the interviewer,then chances are that he will enjoy the confidence of the interviewer and be accepted. As far as a student is concerned,it's impossible for him to be a top student in his class if he doesn't believe he has the intelligence and capability to catch up with others. For a surgeon,self-confidence is rather critical because he may encounter the emergency every day. Knowing that he can treat every case competently,he will make a sound decision promptly.

In fact people in all kinds of work need self-confidence which can help them overcome the difficulty. So we can say self-confidence is the key to success.

自信

诵读导言

常言道:“有志者事竟成”。只要对自己的能力有正确的态度,就有可能建立对自己的信心。只要有信心,我们一定能完成面临的任何任务。

自信就是要相信自己和自己的能力,对于所有的人,自信都是极其重要的,因为它是获得成功不可或缺的条件。

在和雇主面谈时,如果面试者充满自信,并尽最大努力去说服雇主,那么他就很有可能获得雇主的信任并留下来。就学生而言,如果他不相信以自己的聪明才智,赶得上班里的其他同学,他就不可能成为班上的优等生。对于外科医生而言,自信是相当关键的,因为他可能每天都要遇到紧急情况。如果他相信自己能够处理好每个病例,他将会很快做出稳妥的决断。

实际上,各行各业的人们都需要自信,它可以帮助人们克服困难。所以我们可以说,自信是成功的关键。
