Building Self Confidence

Self confidence is that inner feeling of capability that makes you do things with surety. An athlete about to run a race has that self confidence within him that he can win that race. After reading hard for the promotional exam, George was confident that he will pass. Gaining confidence requires a lot of commitment because you should be able to withstand criticism from any angle. You need to accept that you are good enough to carry out a particular task or else lack of confidence in your abilities will not make you progress. With confidence, you see opportunities and possibilities where others see difficulties. Self confidence will bring out the best of you by making you challenge yourself. I was going to my friend's place one morning when I saw a girl of about 6 years old whom the mother was taking to school .On getting to the school gate, the woman gave her daughter her lunch box, kissed her goodbye and turned to go when the little girl called out "Mummy, I'm going to pass my exam". Everybody turned around to see who made such a statement of self confidence. The woman herself was surprised and wondered what made her daughter have so much courage and faith. All she could say was a big "Amen". Do you think you can challenge the little girl in self confidence?
