Winning life with confidence

1. A student’s career is dependent on knowledge and confidence, if we observe the students,
everyone is different, but who are bold and confident win the race, we all should believe everyone
has knowledge few are more confident about themselves, which certainly impresses everyone
around. We teach very little about confidence when we are preparing students to success in their
careers, do believe we are all human and have flaws. Even if your physical appearance or social skills
aren't what you wish they were, that doesn't have to stop you from exuding self-assurance. Just
believing in yourself, the best way to survive is, think of your good qualities in looks, friendships,
talents, and most of all, personality. Think back on compliments from other people. May be they've
remarked on your smile or your ability to stay cool and collected in stressful situations. Be sure to
compliment them back, it will certainly boost your future. Think about the qualities you try to
cultivate. No one's perfect, but if you're actively trying to be an honourable, good person, give
yourself some credit for effort. The fact that you think about bettering yourself at all says that you're
humble and good-hearted, and those are positive attributes. Best way to live is to forget about all
the time thinking about yourself; Try not to feel like all eyes are on you, all the time. Most people are
probably too preoccupied with how they appear to be constantly judging you. Breathe a sigh of relief
and recognize that you don't have to be perfect all the time. Remember no one is perfect and
flawless. Stop comparing yourself with everyone else. Not everything is a competition, and viewing
life that way will wear you out. You don't have to be smartest, prettiest, most popular person in
order to be happy. If you have a strong competitive streak that you can't completely ignore, try
competing with yourself instead and strive to keep getting better. We all do mistakes, don’t over-
apologize. Being able to say you're sorry is a good trait however, being careful to say it only when
necessary. Apologizing when you've slighted or inconvenienced someone is polite. Apologizing when
you haven't done anything wrong, though, can make you feel subordinate and like you should be
sorry. Before it slips out of your mouth, take a second to make sure this is a situation that actually
needs an apology from you. Many students compare grades with fellow students, and remember
grades and ranks will not make a successful person, Imagine if you think 'I didn't get a good grade:
Ok, so it means I will feel confident only when I will get good grades otherwise I will feel miserable
and unconfident, is this logical? and isn't that extremely irrational), I thought confident means
believing in yourself, when nobody else does. Am I doing it? Smile and make an eye contact. It's a
subtle change, but it can work wonders on how other people perceive you. Don't be afraid to meet
the gaze of someone else, and keep your grin in easy reach — both of these things can disarm most
social situations and make everyone feel more comfortable. Don't get discouraged if you're not
immediately awesome. Remember that learning is a process, and you're in it for the small success
and the relaxing recreation time, not to be the best ever. If you are living in hostel or in a community
as many students live, take up a hobby you can do with a group. Finding friends who are like-minded
people who share your interests can be an easy way to make friends and build confidence. Look
around your community for groups you can join, or find kinship with fellow hobbyists online,
FACEBOOK proved for many to contact people with similar interests as I have done with on Rao’s
Microbiology. Remember confidence as a process, not a singular achievement. Having confidence
isn't a finish line you cross once, and the process won't always move forward — there will be days

2. when you feel like you're starting from square one. Take a deep breath, or keep silent remember the
self-confidence hurdles you've already cleared, and resolve to keep going. In the toughest of times, it
is good to make it your duty to pat yourself on the back even if you didn't do anything. I truly believe
in reality you are best friend to yourself and many have reservations about you on so many matters,
Try not to worry too much of what people think of you and trust in yourself! You are the only one
who truly knows yourself! Be thankful for what you have. A lot of the times, at the root of insecurity
and lack of confidence are a feeling of not having enough of something, whether it's emotional
validation, good luck, money, etc. By acknowledging and appreciating what you do have, you can
combat the feeling of being incomplete and unsatisfied. Finding that inner peace will do wonders for
your confidence. Be thankful for what you have. A lot of the times, at the root of insecurity and lack
of confidence are a feeling of not having enough of something, whether it's emotional validation,
good luck, money, etc. By acknowledging and appreciating what you do have, you can combat the
feeling of being incomplete and unsatisfied. Everyone is good at something, so discover the things at
which you excel, then focus on your talents. Give yourself permission to take pride in them. Give
yourself credit for your successes. And you will become a truly confident person to face the
challenges in the World. Do not forget behind every successful man there is built in confidence and
boldness to face the realities of the difficult world. Never forget we alone can create our Destiny
with our parents support, and dedicated commitment to our Job assiagned by the almighty .
