Is self-confidence, born or made?

      It can be both. Some people are born naturally with confidence. Others also acquired self-confidence as they seek to learn and understand it. Hence, they are the ones who made themselves confident. You too have the hope of becoming highly confident and find for yourself a higher ground to achieve success. You just have to be open to accept new knowledge and learn it.

     Basically, you must understand how important self-confidence is in your life. With no second thoughts, high level of confidence is definitely very important because it defines how much you can be able to achieve in your life. Also, it contributes to your happiness as it impacts the ideal “you” you are eager to become. When you have knowledge I this importance, you will develop to have self-confidence that will drive you to be a successful person in whatever endeavor you have.

    Self-confidence develops your ability to influence other people around you. The fact is that you cannot take a hold of any leadership role unless you have confidence in yourself. A leader has the ability to influence others to follow and convince them in your ideas. Without self-confidence, you yourself will be the first one to doubt your abilities.

    This will affect the way you lead your subordinates. As research has shown, people are most likely to disapprove an idea from someone who proposes the plan is nervous at the time of proposal. Moreover, they will not trust you as well since even you don’t trust yourself. If you are confident enough, you can sell your ideas effectively to them and they will have a confidence in you as their leader.

   Perhaps, the best time to start building confidence is during a person’s childhood. You can help children acquire confidence as they are yet much more flexible in accepting new knowledge and suggestions.

   Children will low level of self-confidence are those who have poor performance in school. They do not participate in activities that much and most of the time spent a day alone in the corner of the classroom. Somehow, you can teach them how to overcome the attitude of being shy and non-participative.

    Children as they are, defending themselves of things they don’t want to do is yet a difficult thing for them to do. Normally in school, children are forced by their parents to join extra-curricular activities which they might not be happy joining at. Then, when they fail to perform it, a portion of their confidence is taken away by that activity.

   You can make a change in the lives of these children. They are very vulnerable to low self-confidence and you can contribute to bring success in their lives. A good foundation of building self-confidence is when they are yet in their childhood phase.
