Many people especially young people do not feel confident about themselves. But we can do
something to help people build confidence.
Write down your good qualities (品质). Those can be good qualities in friendships, talents,
and especially your personality (个性) such as being brave, honest or warm-hearted.
Think back on your good abilities (能力). For example, you are able to sing or be good
at dealing with problems. Of course, no one is perfect. You have shortcomings (缺点), too. But
don't think too much of them. Many people lose confidence because they think they have too many
shortcomings.
To be more confident, you need success to support you. Taking challenges (挑战) is a good
way. Remember to start from small things like playing the guitar or cooking a meal. Succeeding
in challenging can help you and others know your value (价值). Even if you can't make it at once,
treat the challenge as a learning experience.
Success will be on the way if you never give up.
