有关自信的英语句子辨析

第一篇：有关自信的英语句子辨析

On Confidence

Confidence is power-------the power to attract, persuade, influence and succeed.Imagine how wonderful our life will be, if we have an abundance of self-confidence.A man with confidence says: I can or I will, when he does something.Compared to him, a discouraged man achieves little.That one believes in himself as deep as a river will not succeed whatever he does in the future.He is a failure all the time.Confidence is very important in our life

Confidence is the key to success.Without confidence, we have no desire and courage to do things.We can not do it carefully;we will be very inferior and very angry, when we fail.Full of confidence, we will be able to do anything.We will do it very carefully and happily, when success and happiness fall on us.We will jump and shout with joy”I make it, I make it.”

Before we do something, we should believe ourselves and be ready to do it.Confidence is the first step to achievement and success

Confidence is not inborn but a learned one.We can have an abundance of self-confidence.If we want to learn it, start it just now.If we want to succeed, just learn to be confident.It is possible to build up faith in oneself by having the right attitude toward one’s own ability.It is self-confidence, rather than genius and extraordinary ability, that inspires us to cope with any arduous task.We should never despise ourselves.As the proverb goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way,” we can reach our goal with our constant and patient efforts, for “Confidence is a plant which is slowly growing.”

Self-trust is the essence of heroism.No one can make us feel inferior without our consent.The very first thing we have to do is to be self-confidence.Pay attention to our internal dialogue and learn to notice when we are controlled by negativity and doubt.Environment has a tremendous influence on us.It can either build up our self-confidence or drag it down.Keep good company and we shall be of the number.If we are in a situation where we are discouraged such as an unhappy friendship, we should change that situation until our self-confidence comes back to us.There is a boy who believes in himself deeply.Lilida, a 12-year-old boy, first tried to cross the Qiongzhou Channel in June,2000,but he failed after swimming for 12 hours。

Yes, he failed, but he didn’t give up.Because he always believed in himself.He thought: I can do it.I will make a success.On May 17, 2001, his 13th birthday, his dream came true.The boy set off in the morning, he stepped into the South China Sea from a beach.Li swam quite fast before he slowed down as the wind became stronger and the waves higher.The water was cooler and cooler, but the destination was nearer and nearer.The goal would be soon achieved, he became more and more confident.He always said to himself : I will succeed, I can succeed.It is not far.I can see it, it is not far….With his strong faith and determination, he kept on swimming.A big crowd of people were waiting for him on the beach, when Li came to the beach.All the people spoke highly of his success.He became the youngest person who ever crossed the channel.Because of confidence, he didn’t give up;because of confidence, he made his dream come true;because of confidence, he made impossibility possible.Confidence is necessary in our life.When we do many difficult things, we should believe in ourselves.For example, when we want to find a job, we will recommend ourselves to others.We are full of confidence about what they think.When we have an important speech, we must believe in ourselves, make an adequate preparation, let us relax and say to ourselves, I can, I may, and so on...Firstly, we should be prepared for a change.Our world is changing so fast.We need to refresh ourselves often so that we can keep up with our modern times.As we know, in some cases, our traditional ways stand in the way of success.We should have the ability to choose what we need.We should be clear what is useful to us and combine the excellent experience with advanced technology.Secondly, we must be prepared to learn about the capabilities of doing things.Human beings are a species that learn by trying.We must be prepared to give ourselves a chance.If we are afraid of doing things or won’t take the trouble doing things, we will achieve nothing.Doing is the best way to master skills, experience and confidence..Third, we need to be prepared for the worst.Anything may happen unexpectedly.There are so many things that can go wrong that we must be as prepared as we can be for

this new technology.No one can succeed without failure.But we should learn from failure.We should have enough knowledge, enough courage ,enough confidence to face failure and conquer it.Thus success is on the way.Finally, we should have a harmonious interpersonal relation.Success in life depends mainly on how we get along with others.Our ability to work with others is also important though our determination, confidence, and our courage play important parts.Success is not simply a matter of how clever we are.In a word, confidence is not everything, but without confidence, you can not do anything.Confidence is the foundation of success.Create an environment that supports us in our desire to have an abundant self-confidence.Spend time with confident people.Self-confidence means the firm belief that we can do things well.If we want to succeed in doing anything, we must have confidence in our abilities.Otherwise, we may hardly achieve anything.Some people always complain about how difficult their tasks would be and how incapable they are.They often refuse to have a try, and therefore have no opportunities to overcome difficulty in order to get them improved.Apparently, this shows their lack of self-confidence.Self-confidence gives us light when we are in the dark and encouragement when you are dismayed.If one lacks confidence in himself, there is a little possibility that he may achieve anything especially when one is in face of difficulties.There are several reasons why people feel frustrated or discouraged in face of difficulties.First , they underestimate themselves.Second, they tend to overestimate the difficulties.This is an incorrect attitude toward oneself.Third, they are afraid of making mistakes or getting failure.It is important for young people to build up self-confidence.As a proverb goes, “confidence in yourself is the first step on the road to succeed.” we should make sufficient preparations and encourage ourselves before setting about doing anything in order to achieve success which may help us gain self-confidence.We should have a right attitude towards our abilities and should never look down upon ourselves.In addition, we don’t have to be afraid of mistakes or failure, for we can learn from mistakes and failure is the mother of success.We should have the drive and creativity in overcoming the challenge.
