Chapter 1

Understanding Self-confidence

––––––––

Life is not easy for any of us. But... what does it matter! You have to persevere and above all have confidence in yourself. You have to feel gifted to do something and that you have to achieve that thing, whatever the cost. (Marie Curie)

In this chapter, we will explore what exactly self-confidence is and how it influences all aspects of our lives. We'll cover the difference between self-confidence and arrogance, and how, just the former, is a positive and healthy quality. In addition, we will learn how self-confidence develops throughout life and how our past experiences can influence it. By the end of the chapter, you will come to understand the importance of self-confidence and how it can be a key factor in achieving success and personal fulfillment.

What is Self Confidence?

Self-confidence is the belief in our own personal abilities, abilities, and worth. It is the internal conviction that we are capable of achieving our goals and facing the challenges that arise in our lives. Self-confidence is an internal force that drives us to act with determination and courage, even in uncertain or challenging situations.

You can clearly see that secure people are much more successful in this world than insecure people. People insecure about themselves feel rejected, while those sure of their worth are loved. Confidence is a sign of strength, uncertainty is a sign of weakness. People love and respect strength and hate weakness, because nothing good comes from powerlessness or laziness. Therefore, it is better to be a self-confident person in order to enjoy life and achieve various successes in it.

It is important to note that self-confidence is not synonymous with perfection or arrogance. It is not about thinking that we are superior to others, but about recognizing and accepting who we are, our abilities, and our limits, and being comfortable with ourselves, regardless of our imperfections.

The development of self-confidence

Self-confidence is not an innate quality that we are born with but develops throughout our lives. From childhood to adulthood, our experiences and interactions with others have a significant impact on shaping our self-confidence.

During childhood, our interactions with our parents, teachers, and friends play a crucial role in how we perceive our own worth and abilities. A supportive and encouraging environment can nurture our self-confidence, while excessive criticism or lack of support can undermine
