Understand your weak points. Everyone has weaknesses. Once you discover your weaknesses, work to overe them. If, for example, you are a shy person, attend a social event and force yourself to speak to at least one or two people first. Youll discover that others appreciate your friendliness, and your nervousness will slowly disappear. Spend time with positive people. People influence our lives. Spend time with successful, confident people at school and work. Please observe their behavior, their verbal and nonverbal language, and their ways of handling difficult situations. Remember, even these people have had to deal with a lack of confidence at one time or another.Set personal goals for yourself. If you have a fear you need to overe, challenge yourself to face that fear head on. Set goals for yourself. With each goal you meet, your selfconfidence will increase. If youre afraid of trying new things because you might “fail，” give yourself a chance. Greet each day with a sense of opportunity. Start your mornings by reading something inspirational. Think positively about yourself, and greet each day with enthusiasm and a renewed energy for living. Dont fear refuse. All of us have experienced and will continue to experience refuse in our lives.
