　　The Importance of Confidence

　　It is widely recognized that confidence plays anim. portant part in people's life and activities. For example， if you show enough confidence in a job interview， you are likely to do well and get the job applied for. Or， if you take an important examination with confidence， you will probably pass it and thus seize a good opportunity. When you play a role in a play， the confidence shown in your performance can help you get applause from the audience.

　　However， not everyone has enough confidence in himself. There are many reasons for lack of confidence， but in general， they come down to two major ones. First， some people tend to improperly belittle themselves. Without a correct estimate of themselves， they often hesitate to press forward in the face of difficulties. Second， some people overestimate difficulties. For them， difficulties are always like high mountains which they can never get over.

　　When faced with difficult problems or hard tasks， we should have faith in ourselves. The world is full of hardships， and we cannot change this reality. The only thing we can do is improve ourselves. It is possible to build up confidence in ourselves if we take the right attitude to our abilities. Always remember that confidence is the promise for overcoming amy difficulties in the world.
