Morning, everyone, I am Tom from G11. Today I will discuss “confidence.”
Napoleon Hill, the founder of modern success studies said: “Confidence is the channel for mankind to use and control the infinite wisdom of the universe. It is the foundation of all miracles. The birthplace of all mysterious that cannot be analyzed by the laws of science."
大家早上好，我是来自11年级的Tom,今天我将讨论“自信”。现代成功学研究的创始人拿破仑·希尔说：“自信，是人类运用和驾驭宇宙无穷大智的唯一管道，是所有‘奇迹’的根基，是所有科学法则无法分析的玄妙神迹的发源地。”
Self-confidence does contribute to a person's success to a large extent, as we can see from many people's entrepreneurial history. Confidence can rescue people from difficulties, can make people see the light of success in the dark, and can give people the motivation to struggle. Perhaps it can be said: "Having self-confidence is half the victory." But where does self-confidence come from? For us who are still teenagers, is self-confidence really cheap and easy to obtain? Is self-confidence really as good as those successful people praised?
从许多人的创业历史可以看出，自信确实在很大程度上有助于一个人的成功。信心可以使人们摆脱困境，可以使人们在黑暗中看到成功的光辉，并赋予人们奋斗的动力。或许可以说：“拥有自信是胜利的一半。” 但是自信来自何处？对于我们还是十几岁的人来说，自信真的很廉价并且容易获得吗？自信真的如那些成功人士所称赞的一样好吗？
Do people who are introverted must have confidence? These questions have puzzle me for a long time, and have changed many of my personality, but I still hope to get a real answer about self-confidence.
内向的人必须有信心吗？这些问题使我困惑了很长时间，并且使我的性格产生诸多改变，但我仍然希望能获得有关自信心的真实答案。
I have heard many people say that I have no self-confidence and I used to attributed some of my mistakes to lacking self-confidence and felt shame when I recall the mistakes that I have done. After a long time be self-pity, I gradually find all these self-pity and shame does not come from lack-confidence but comes from fear to challenge these terrible memory and experience.
我听到很多人说我没有自信，过去我常常将自己的一些错误归结于缺乏自信，当我回想起自己犯过的错误时感到羞耻。经过很长一段时间的自怜之后，我逐渐发现所有这些自怜和羞耻不是来自缺乏自信，而是来自于对挑战这些可怕记忆和经验的恐惧。
After I start try to challenge myself to overcome these painful experiences, I find the source of self-confidence should be the accumulation of gradually overcoming difficulties and striving to achieve better results when the reality is not going well. Self-confidence is not a hint to impose on yourself or telling yourself to show self-confidence. This may just change your way of thinking, but without thinking of better ways to solve the problem, you cannot fundamentally change your lack of self-confidence.
在我开始挑战自我以克服这些痛苦的经历之后，我发现自信的根源应该是在现实不顺利的情况下逐渐克服困难并努力取得更好结果的积累。自信并不是暗示自己或告诉自己要表现出“自信”。这可能只会改变您的思维方式，但是如果您没有想出解决问题的更好方法，就无法从根本上改变您缺乏自信的困境。
So, what I hate very much is this blind self-confidence. When we always warn ourselves in our hearts to have self-confidence and be brave, we often believe too much that this self-confidence can bring success and bring hope. In fact, the Self-confidence without taking effort and undergo failure is just a narcotic. The more you believe in this self-confidence but unwilling to experience struggle and failure, your life will fail forever.
所以，我非常讨厌这种盲目的自信。当我们总是内心警告自己要有自信和勇敢时，我们常常过分相信这种自信可以带来成功和希望。实际上，不费吹灰之力就可以成功的自信只是麻醉剂。您越相信这种自信，却不愿经历斗争和失败，你的生活将永远失败。
Confidence can make yourself full of vitality to live, but it will not reduce the problems encountered in life, so you must know that self-confidence is not for avoiding problems, but for making yourself more active in facing difficulties, keep thinking to solve problems. Sometime, whenever you are very confident, very hard and very hopeful to achieve something, the more likely you are to fail, when you try fight all prejudice and bias from the life, the more pressure you will undergo, but should we complain about our life, the efforts we have down? The answer is of-course no because we are not deserved to become self-pity.
自信可以使自己充满活力，但并不能减少生活中遇到的问题，因此，你必须知道自信不是为了避免问题，而是要让自己更加主动地面对困难，继续思考解决问题的方法。有时，每当你有信心，非常努力并且非常有希望取得成就时，你失败的可能性就越大，当你尝试克服生活中的所有偏见和偏见时，你将承受的压力越大，但是我们应该因付出巨大努力而抱怨生活吗？答案当然不是的，因为我们不应该因此而变得自怜。
Every time you want to deny yourself and life, you will find that the opportunities we have today and the love we have received are much better than others. How many people have the same opportunities as us to accept such good Education? How many people can choose life as freely as we do? If you always cling to the past, clinging to failure and regret, everything you can have will be lost.
每当你想放弃自己或生活时，都会发现我们今天拥有的机会和我们获得的爱比其他人要好得多。有多少人有和我们一样的机会接受这种良好的教育？有多少人可以像我们一样自由地选择生活？如果您总是执着于过去，执着于失败和遗憾，那么你可以拥有的一切都会丢失。
So, I hate most people who always feel inferior even though they work very hard, because they waste limited time on infinite sadness .The last thing I want to say is that even if you always fail, even if you can’t be recognized by others, even if you can’t be as good as others, it doesn’t matter, as long as you persist, as long as you are still alive even it is very hard, that proves you have not escape and receive more confidence in your life.
所以，我讨厌大多数即使工作很努力也总是自卑的人，因为他们将有限的时间浪费在无限的悲伤上。我要说的最后一件事是，即使你总是失败，即使你不能被别人认可，即使你不能和别人一样好，只要你坚持下去，也没关系，只要你还活着，即使生活很艰难，也证明你没有逃脱，对自己的生活更有信心。
So, do not regret what you have done, but regret what you have not done.
因此，不要因悔恨你所做过的事情，而要为你没有做什么事情而后悔。
